Blessings everyone. My name is Renee and my dog is Ivy. I'm a 44 year old female and Ivy is a 6 year old German Shepherd. July 15, 2024 12:39 am Poconos Pa. At the time I was in a relationship up until recently. " Hey, let's take the dogs out one last time before we go to sleep so we can sleep in" , I suggested.. " Sounds like a plan" he replied. Not even 10 minutes into the walk, apartment building stil somewhat in view, we heard crashing of broken glass. He hurriedly walked ahead, dropped the dogs leash, yelled "FIRE" .Had 3 dogs at that time. He ran to grab car keys, which were thankfully on the table by the door. Got the other tenants in the other two units out. Then all we could do is watch everything I worked hard for turn to ash. It was tough. I was supposed to be evicted on Friday of that week because I lost my job, applied to many with no luck. I couldn't pay my rent. I got God back into my life. There is so much to this story, I will try to keep it short. Decided since I lost all my "stuff" it was time to relocate to Florida to be closer to my daughter. Through our journey I realized God did it for a reason. I was a really bad alcoholic and I overcame it. A lot of my journey was me and my Ivy. I had to re-home one and he said he would take my boy Apollo. We went to visit his uncle in West Virginia. little did I know, he was leaving me there because he saw $$$. A female offered him a lot of money to stay away from me for the first year and so much each following year. He went back to PA , didn't even say goodbye and left with Apollo. I was in the middle of nowhere with a complete stranger. He kicked me and ivy out because I would not give him the time of day. I had who I thought was a friend come to get me and take me to Philly. He didn't like my dog so I lasted a week before officially beginning to experiencing homelessness. That's when God really came to me. I walked the worst parts of Philly. Let me wrap this up. He ended up in jail, gave my Apollo away. He said jail was an eye opener and insisted on picking me up in Philly. I've been on the same cycle, season with him for quite some time. I knew it was time to let him go. I gave all the things God gave to me to him and now I am tired of being tired. I need to put God, myself and Ivy first from now on. The things I've seen and went through the people I met. Total strangers have blessed Ivy and I more then my own family. I cannot find a job for the life of me. So I am confident it's time for my calling. I had to come back to Pa so he could take care of the legal matter from a year ago. August 15, 2025. A week before we left Florida he accused me of taking his phone. I went to where he could have dropped it. It was there. I don't llie,steal,cheat I can honestly say I love a righteous life, God has guided me to the right path. As I got closer, I crossed the street on my bicycle. The orange hand just came up. I was half way across, I passed the car waiting to turn, I saw 2 cars and I got hit by one. I don't remember anything until I woke up in the ER. 7 staples in the back of my head, 2 fractures in my pelvis. To this day and may be permanent, praying every day it's not, I lost my sense of smell and taste because of the head injury , left side ear numb and minimal hearing. Still wanted to go to PA to support him. He never changed. The lies and disrespect were no longer welcome. It's very difficult to find a job without a little place to be safe with Ivy, for her to be somewhere so I can get a job. There are not many resources to help especially with a dog. I am reaching out to see if I can get help with getting back to Florida, food for Ivy and I, maybe a night or so at a motel in Florida. I have health insurance there. I haven't followed up with my fractured hip and other issues. That's another thing I can't neglect. I'm starting to miss some of the things that are taken for granted. Can't taste anything, wouldn't even know if it's bad. Can't smell, wouldn't even know of any fires or gas leak. It's just God, myself and Ivy. I know I am on the right path. I just need a little love and support. I'm going to wrap this up with three of my favorite things I live by.,.... Rejection is redirection. You can't go wrong doing the right thing. All time favorite... And I have stuck up for so many with this one.....YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE NEXT PERSON IS GOING THROUGH, BE KIND. Thank you to everyone that reads this and I will be grateful for anything.... especially Prayers. God Bless . If you would like to hear more of the details, I'm an open book. If we can't make it to Florida by train, I'm thinking about taking a long walk to get closer to God and let Ivy live her best life she deserves. She got us on a paid for transport van from a rescue group,Pa Pit Stop from there to Georgia. I was also informed ivy and I were not too far from where Apollo was left and that he doesn't seem to be taken care of very well. I am going to pray my hardest to get the foundation and stability and be able to be reunited with him. I forgot to include what I will do with what I receive, first, I am making sure Ivy lives her best life, second, I am going to do what I can to help others in need. I would really benefit from staying in a comfortable, secluded quiet forest in a cabin by water for Ivy to swim safely. I would benefit tremendously as it would give me the much needed time to devote to God, I put others before him when I shouldn't have. Time to heal and rebuild. Writing a book has been on my mind as well. I know I have mentioned that there are so many important, meaningful details that I didn't include. I may proofread and rewrite.
