See this beautiful sleepy puppy? This is @taibhsearachd and my baby girl, Ace. We’ve had her since she was a teensy tiny flea-covered stray barely old enough to be away from her momma, and for the last decade she’s been our best girl.
Tomorrow, Ace is going to the vet to have surgery to remove a breast tumor that developed very abruptly while we were moving to Kansas in late October. We’re finally able to afford the surgery – just barely.
Because we don’t know what the biopsy will say, we’re not sure how much more money (besides what I’ll be paying tomorrow, mostly cleaning out our bank account) this will take. And that’s okay – she’s our baby and we’ll do whatever we have to in order to take care of her. But we have other animals, and we have to eat and pay for gas to drive to work, and pay bills, and this surgery is cleaning us out of pretty much our entire safety net.
If you have any money to spare, please consider donating to our YouCaring fundraiser. We’re not asking for much, we’re not even trying to cover the whole nearly $700 the surgery will cost, we’re just trying to recover a bit of a cushion so that if anything goes wrong, we won’t be at a loss, trying desperately to survive in the wake of it.
Thank you so much for your care and attention. Ace thanks you too.
