Hello, my name is Alex Duque, and I'm raising funds for my dog's urgent surgery. He has a perianal hernia.

It breaks my heart to see him like this. My dog ​​is part of our family; he's been with us through thick and thin, always cheerful, wagging his tail, and giving us love without asking for anything in return. But now he can barely play or walk like he used to, and he's having a lot of trouble relieving himself. You can tell he's in pain; he whines, he hides… and as his owner, you feel helpless not being able to take away his suffering.

The vet explained that he needs surgery as soon as possible to alleviate his pain and prevent more serious complications. The problem is that the total cost of the operation, paperwork, and medications is approximately $8,000, an amount that is completely out of my reach right now.

It's not easy for me to ask for help, but I'll do anything for him. That's why I'm reaching out to you, the community, with great humility, to ask that, if you are able, you help us save him from this pain. Every dollar, no matter how small, means one more chance for my little dog to have a dignified life again, free from suffering.

I promise that all funds raised will be used solely for his surgery and recovery. I will be posting receipts and updates so you can see how his recovery is progressing.

If you can't donate right now, simply sharing this campaign will help us immensely.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading our story, for empathizing with us, and for any help you can offer. Truly, your support can make the difference between seeing him continue to suffer and seeing him run happily and pain-free again.
