Julia

We have 24 hours. Let Tuesday be a day for short announcements. Short, because… it was… shocking news for us.

But you know what? People often don’t take these situations seriously. They think that if it’s not them, it’s someone else, and… they change their minds. Like a flag in the wind. For them, it’s just fun, but for Juli, it’s life.

Finally… one of the partygoers called us and said that… they had raised the money. But they had hired some lady to dance, because it would be… more fun than some stupid pony. I don’t know if the man was drunk, but we all felt terribly sorry. Because… this is about life. And it’s not funny at all. And you shouldn’t play such pranks on… old ponies.

The end result was that… we didn’t get the deposit payment. And not even us, only Julia. And… we were supposed to pay it sometime in the morning. But we didn’t.

We went to the dealer and… Ilia just stayed with Julia. And I went to get a signal and write to you. I feel terribly stupid and I apologize for trusting these young people, but… really… we have a lot of faith in people.

Ilia sits there on the doorstep, keeping an eye on Julia, to… force the merchant to wait. But the truth is… we have no power there, no say in the matter. I said I was going to the ATM and… that we were waiting for a transfer. Of course, no transfer is going through, and… we all know that perfectly well.

We have to deposit $357. I know that doesn’t bring as much joy to some people as a party. But for Julia, it’s life. All she has.

That’s why… I wanted to ask you today if we could… make it in those 24 hours. So we don’t write her off just yet.
