Having to pay for a new roof hs put me close to that point. I am minding my finances and not buying anything until I get past the roof, hospital (fell and broke arm)copays. It can happen so fast. When I get bck on my feet, will try to help her. This has been my greatest fear, what would happen to my 4 cats if something hqppened to me. Trying to set up an account to transport them to Rustic Hollow and pay for their care when they get there. ---- Amani Oakley <aoak...@oakleylegal.com> wrote: > Hi Margo > > I intend to raise enough money to give them a decent enough cushion to pay > for those monthly amounts, for at least one year, and hopefully two.
