my assistance dog needs gear
hiii im frankie! im 18 and i live on a farm in queensland australia. im an artist, sfx makeup artist and wigmaker. i love animals and rainbows and i work one day a week in our community library! im a nonbinary lesbian and i would die for my chickens and my right to dress tacky.
i also happen to be pretty sick. when i was thirteen i developed endometriosis and chronic migraines. when i was fourteen i developed depression and anxiety. when i was fifteen i got a beautiful dog and he made my life a living hell. when i was sixteen and he was dead i dropped out of highschool. when i was seventeen i was diagnosed with ptsd and misophonia.
my migraines are daily, severe and incurable through every experimental treatment we could find. my anxiety, ptsd and misophonia means it’s impossible to leave the house without having public breakdowns. and now on top of all this, my kidneys fucked up. id been having surgery for my endometriosis for years, but a month ago i was rushed to the er with pain and almost died from septic shock. i spent two weeks in hospital with a drain in my side and i have an exploratory operation later this month.
this has made my ptsd far worse. ive been hearing voices and developing psychotic symptoms. i dissociate and wander off into danger, and have other personalities take over my body. ive been having episodes that they’re investigating as seizures. i can’t function any longer- so im getting an assistance dog (the australian version of a service dog). im getting her to rouse me from dissociation and unconsciousness, to keep me grounded and guided in public, to provide deep pressure therapy and help me carry things when im fatigued. to check the halls at night when im panicking. she’s going to be the reason i can be functioning in public.
I have a puppy lined up from a fantastic breeder and will be bringing her home within a few months if everything goes well.
the problem is, even despite how much of the medical costs are covered, my parents have had to pay for a lot, and an assistance dog is hugely expensive. so im reaching out.
i have an amazon wishlist. it’s all gear for her, listed by priority. im not asking for gifts, honestly. if you want to donate something on the list you’re an angel, but im an artist and i am willing to do commissions in exchange for you buying something on the list!!!
just message my art blog, @frankiefangart and let me know what you bought and what you want me to draw and ill do it. please remember that i am very sick right now and my art tablet is broken, so it will be traditional for the time being unless you’re willing to wait a long time.
i can’t thank you guys enough. reblogs mean SO much to me, as does sharing with your friends and family. you can follow my journey with my dog here on this blog and see the impact you’ve made.
