3 to 4 months, I cannot survive on $2400 every 3 to 4 months, especially when I have over $600 a month in expenses in food and vet care just for the in training dogs in my care. \u00a0This year was so bad financially that I wore three layers of clothes to keep the heating bill down during the winter, turned the water heater off until I was ready to use it and started fasting from food as a way to save money. \u00a0All so I could continue to help you. \u00a0Unless I get support from my students and their friends, I just cant do it anymore. \u00a0I have to move to a more sustainable business
