13 years animal rescuer, now 1 for me

Aim

For the first time in 13 years of rescuing animals in Crete island, asking for help, today i ask for help again , but this time for myself

Dear all. 

For the first time in 13 years of rescuing animals in Crete island , and asking for help for Vet bills and sometimes for their food, I'm coming today to ask for help again , but this time for myself. I didn't need to be in this situation of needing help if weren't for my animals, at the moment 44 cats and 4 dogs. 

I have a very good profession in different fields of therapy and speak several languages, but none of it works here in Crete, therefore I work now as customers care. But the sacrifices I have done, have been really worthy.

I have saved a lot of lives and they now have a home and never been hungry a single day. I have. But they are my priority and my everything. 

Due to not have any money to spare for myself, I got to an advance state that I need to go urgently to the dentist.

3 of my left side teeth, crowns, were loose, and i had to pull them off by myself. Not too difficult but was very unpleasant. And the left Canine tooth also with crown, I need to pull it off but for esthetic purposes I haven't done it. 

It is in very bad condition and bothering me a lot to eat and to speak, and in the morning I have my mouth always with blood.

I've been to the local dentist to know how much would it be to fix everything. And he gave me a quote of 900€ with the extraction, which would be 40€, but that I've already done it myself at least 3. The right side teeth are taking all the chewing work, therefore one is already slightly loose, also with crown. I have had these crowns for about 16 years.

I feel ashamed that I'm asking something for myself, but all my salary , less than 1000€, and the kind donations I have, they are all going towards my animals and the fix payments, Rent, water, lights, Internet plus some petrol.

If you feel that you could please help me raise this money I would be forever greatful.

Thank you in advance.

I invite you all to my FB page
