Tony's learning disabled brother ( pictured ) was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of February and lost his battle with the disease on the 4th of April .
Tony is understandably distraught and needs our help to get him through this terrible time as he could lose everything and end up on the streets with nothing .
Please help Tony who has cared for his Grandmother , Mother , Father and brother during the last 15 years or so . All of them have now passed away and Tony is left with just his little dog Rocky . He has been so dedicated to his family and given up his own life to care for them even after they were made homeless when he lost his job . Now he needs someone to take care of him and help him heal , and is sat in his hotel room alone with no one . He is very worried that without our help he will end up on the streets, lose what few possessions he has left and have to part with his beloved dog too as he feels he cant put little Rocky through that .
This is to help him keep a bed to sleep in and a roof over his head whilst he heals from the terrible recent events which have left him very very depressed and ill himself .
Please give what you can when you can and help Tony at least hold onto a bed to sleep in , and a place to feel safe whilst he heals .
Thank you everyone xx

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO COULD DONATE JUST $10 TONIGHT .. EVERY 6 PEOPLE DOING THIS WILL MEAN TONY KNOWS HE WILL HAVE A BED FOR ANOTHER NIGHT WHICH MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM .. ISN'T THAT WORTH JUST $10 ?
This is getting critical now Tony only has enough to cover the room for about a week . In fact he is convinced he will have to leave the hotel on Tuesday and feels if he is going to be in the streets he cant put his little dog through that and will have to lose him too .. the only bit of family he has left .. Every night costs him $62 so every donation helps cover another night .. even just $5 or $10 .. 6 people donating $10 means he stays for another night... everything helps and is appreciated .
Please try and help with a donation if you can . Tony is filled with fear and dread when he thinks of what his future could hold for him . He now has no income at all and is too ill and distressed over his brothers death to cope with a load of strangers asking him all sorts of questions . He just wants to hold onto a bed and be able to grieve for his brother in peace without all the extra worry and stress he has right now . Our support is desperately needed to get Tony through this terrible time when he is rapidly losing all hope and finding it hard to come up with a reason to keep going . If I'm honest he longs to be able to leave this horrible cruel world and be able to join his family who are all up in heaven now . Please help me give him a reason to keep going .. thank you xxx

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO COULD DONATE JUST $10 TONIGHT .. EVERY 6 PEOPLE DOING THIS WILL MEAN TONY KNOWS HE WILL HAVE A BED FOR ANOTHER NIGHT WHICH MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM .. ISN'T THAT WORTH JUST $10 ? LETS GET HIM THAT $60 TO COVER ANOTHER NIGHT IF WE CAN TONIGHT ... WE ARE ON $130 AT THE MOMENT EVEN JUST GETTING PAST THE $150 MARK TONIGHT WILL BE A HELP
This is getting critical now Tony only has enough to cover the room for about 5 more nights . . Every night costs him $62 so every donation helps cover another night .. even just $5 or $10 .. 6 people donating $10 means he stays for another night... everything helps and is appreciated .
Please try and help with a donation if you can . Tony is filled with fear and dread when he thinks of what his future could hold for him . He now has no income at all and is too ill and distressed over his brothers death to cope with a load of strangers asking him all sorts of questions . He is looking into a way that he may be able to get some income with a friend and has another friend looking into getting a car too so he can get around again . Our support is desperately needed to get Tony through until he gets some stability back in his life . When his brother died it was hard for him to hold onto any hope and he just wanted to be able to leave this cruel world . He is still not at all well and still very stressed and worried and terrified about all the uncertainty but has found it in himself to try and find a way out of this . To try and find a way to go on and to find a way he can accept and cope with to get some stability back into his life again . This has been so hard for him to get through and keep trying .. please please give him your support after he has stood by his family and dogs the way he has he truly deserves for this to work out for him . The thing he wants most no one can give him .. thats his family who have passed on to be back with him . We can help with the next most important thing though .. and that is to help him hold onto a bed to sleep in and a place to feel safe in .. his biggest fear is that he will be on the streets with nothing for protection and he will have to give up his little dog who is the last bit of family he has and that he will die in the heat out on the streets , be attacked and killed or something similar . Please give anything you can to help stop this happening to him , he deserves it after he has got his family and dogs through so much and always put them before himself so many times .. thank you for all your support xxx

URGENT >>PLEASE GIVE A LITTLE IF YOU CAN !!! TONY AND HIS LITTLE DOG ROCKY HAVE ALMOST NOTHING LEFT AND COULD LOSE THEIR ROOM AT ANY TIME ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DONATE WILL BE A BIG HELP .. EVEN JUST $10
Just spoke to tony via the calling thing in chat heads on here and he just couldn't stop sobbing he is so distraught today . Missing his family ,worrying about how he is going to keep going , worrying about losing his room and being on the streets , worrying that he will lose Rocky , his little dog and the few belongings he has managed to hold onto and just feeling so lost and lonely and ill in every way possible .
He has cared for so many family members , his grandmother , his mum , his dad and his learning disabled brother . All of them are now up in heaven with the angels and Tony is left on his own with just his one remaining dog ( he had 2 elderly ones who died from old age ) sat in a hotel room by himself just praying he can die too but feeling like even god and his family in heaven don't want him .
Please if anyone can give even just a small donation to this fund raiser to show him someone does care and to give him a little glimmer of hope it will help him so very much . Sharing among your friends with a message asking them to share /donate also helps bring in more donations too . . He has stood by his family and little dogs and given up having any sort of life himself for so long now whilst doing that and he doesn't deserve any of what he is going through

TONY AND ROCKY ONLY HAVE 2 MORE NIGHTS COVERED IN THEIR ROOM
Tony has managed to cover what his room will cost tonight and has contacted local churches to ask for help .. one of which has covered tomorrow night .. BUT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY THE HOTEL IS CHARGING $70 EACH NIGHT AND TONY HAS VIRTUALLY NOTHING LEFT .. This is the cheapest hotel in the area .. I know because I've helped him look online for a cheaper one .. Please help him hold onto his hotel room and his little dog and stay off the streets .
He has stood by his family and little dogs through so much and little Rocky is all he has left .. If he cant hold onto his room he will have to let little Rocky go too and he is so broken hearted thinking of that .. PLEASE HELP WITH A DONATION .. ANYTHING WILL HELP THEM
The 5/5... will be Tonys birthday .. at the moment he only has $40 .. not even enough for another night ... please give whatever you can and pray that the last donation clears tomorrow and gives him another $107 ( after fees have been deducted ) so he can cover a couple more nights and not have to leave on his birthday . Also if we can reach our target figure .. just $326 needed in the next 4 days .. then he will get over half the fees he has paid back .. please can we try and achieve that too .. Thank you everyone xxx
