Hi all! For transparency and with a heart full of gratitude, I wanted to give a quick breakdown of the donations received for Leo’s emergency surgery expenses, some acknowledgements and just again express how honored, thankful and blessed I am for all of you:
I first need to thank every single person who shared, donated, or just sent words of encouragement. An extra special thanks to folks who have been continuously checking up on me. There’s too many to name but thank you ALL. So so so much

Special thanks to folks who donated $1 or $2. Cause what that tells me is that even though you may not have had a ton to spare; but you went out of your way to at least donate what amount you could. That means SO much.
I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, and I hope you all excuse me since a girl has barely slept. But, man. I am so stunned by the way ya’ll hopped on. Thank you eternally.
This has also made me re evaluate what I’m doing with my life. And I’m trying to find ways to pay this generosity forward.
Once I’m more stable, I’m going to start looking into the process of setting up a mutual aid fund or fundraisers for the community. I’m still workshopping ideas, but I’m always shook (positive) by how much we can do when we help each other. I wanna make that my life.
Love and rats
