PLEASE HELP THIS WEEKEND IF YOU CAN .. TOMORROW IS COVERED BUT NONE OF NEXT WEEK IS YET ... DONATIONS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED NOW TO START COVERING THIS .. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE XXX

Hi everyone , thank you to Theresa , Renee , Mimi , and Katherine for your donations , Sunday is now covered but none of next week is covered yet . Tony is also struggling for something to eat and drink .... he has had his food card reinstated but is too weak and dizzy to be able to go anywhere to use it . I think this will mean he probably didn't get the pack of emergency food too .. still trying to find out from him if he did . If anyone could get his any food delivered please get in touch with me .. he also isn't drinking enough I don't think ... only has tap water that he says tastes like rust , so I'm guessing he isn't drinking much of it .. so if anyone can get so,me bottled water or coke or something delivered to him that too would be a big help .. please pm me and Ill let you know where to send it . That way I can make sure he doesn't get too much .. we already have someone that has sent him dog food so he is OK for that for now but if you want to help with that in future again let me know . If anyone knows of anywhere providing meals to the homeless in Camarillo CA that might be able to either pick Tony up and take him there , or could drop him food and something to drink off at his hotel room please let me know about that too .

Tony is getting very depressed and says he feels just like he is lay there waiting to die . Even though hes not eating much at all he still feels like hes going to throw up a lot of the time and his stomach gets very upset and then he finds it hard because of his poor mobility . I have been too busy with work and other stuff this last week or so to have much time to really talk to him about putting things in place that would mean he could go into hospital again . Tonight I am going out and tomorrow will be busy most of the day with wedding stuff but will be free from tomorrow evening to have more time to talk things over and try and persuade him that going into hospital and maybe a rehab place would be the best thing for him . He is still very worried about losing Rocky and his belongings if he does that , thinks he will still have to cover his room whilst hes in hospital to keep his belongings safe and that he will lose Rocky for good if he goes in hospital . He doesn't understand rescue and the difference between rescue and shelters and about someone being able to foster Rocky till he gets well . He has some idea that Rocky will be outside in the cold all night and that he wont get him back if he lets anyone else have him . He also cant understand that if we can get his things into a storage unit then he wont need to pay for his room and is very protective of his belongings and doesn't like others touching them . He says they will get damaged and go missing if others mess with them and pack them and put them into storage . I know these are all unfounded and not what he needs to worry about .. but to Tony they are very real fears and concerns and its very hard to get him to see they are unfounded and convince him that things will be OK . I will try though ... just need to get tomorrow's very important commitments out of the way first . Also the hospital he will be in is the same hospital his brother died in and he had very bad experiences during that time . He wasn't treated well .. had a DNR bracelet put on his brother without him even being consulted and wasn't informed his brother had died till he phoned to check how he was doing . This is as well as the upset and memories of seeing his brother so ill there and the staff and social workers weren't very understanding or kind towards Tony either . So that also is going to be a big barrier to him going in there now too .

Please help tonight with a donation if you can ... Tony is very ill and is very very restricted in what he can do now , he daren't go outside because he feels so weak and is worried about falling . He is absolutely exhausted in every way possible and still has not much help and because of the stress and worry and feeling so ill he can seem like he doesn't appreciate help ... but is not doing that deliberately .. he just doesn't realise he's being like that .. that's all and finds it hard to overcome his fears .All the help we get is truly appreciated though bu us both its just sometimes Tony isnt great at showing it because hes hurting and scared.. which is why I say the thank you's for both of us . We have to remember this isn't someone like us its someone that's struggled for over 10 years now and is very ill in every sense of the word ... that has affected him hugely . Please help if you can tonight ... THANK YOU XXXX

Please if anyone else can send a donation the best way to do this is to use [email protected] on Pay Pal and send it using the family and friends option so no fees will be taken off what you send . By donating this way you can also send whatever amount you can afford and every dollar received will go straight into Tony's Pay Pal and into his bank and help Tony and Rocky stay safe
There is also this fund raiser that you can use to donate , but fees will be taken off your donation before Tony gets it https://goget.fund/2AT4ILx . For this reason there is also a minimum donation on there of $10 too .
Sharing the above fund raiser with all your contacts and wherever you can on social media helps get it seen and helps us find new people to donate and is always appreciated too . At the moment I am unable to interact with Facebook groups and pages so sharing to any of these for me would be a big help and sometimes I am restricted to who I can tag in my post too so tagging your contacts would be a help too .

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE TONIGHT XXX
