It has come to my attention that we are of very similar circumstances. Not that similar a circumstance, of course, for I am a lady and you are poor yourself. However, we are of similar disposition as persons misfortunately cast as non-persons for an extended amount of time, and I do know how difficult the transition can be. Food tastes strange, walking on two limbs seems inefficient, and considering yourself in the mirror poses quite a fright. Being the naturally very charitable and giving person that I am, I extend  my deepest condolences for the part of your life you lost as merely a fraction of yourself on four legs. By the same token, however, we possess extraordinary insight into the things in life that really matter! Such as food, a comfortable soft surface, and non-predatory companionship. So should you require any assistance, be it in the form of home or livelihood, please do not hesitate to reach out.
