Good evening. I NEVER thought I would be in this situation. I have always been extremely overprotective of my furbabies; after God they have always come first, second and third, if they can't go I don't go, anyone that knows me knows this to be accurate but here I am facing this difficult situation.

On February 06, 2024 I asked my "best friend" to help me care for my little pup as I needed to focus on packing for a move at the end of this month. A little over 2 years ago I sustained a traumatic brain injury and with that comes many live changing challenges that don't allow me to be what society would identify as normal and able to do daily tasks for a long period of time and many more challenges including not being able to work much

. Tiny Tim follows me everywhere with his happy sweet and vivacious personality so to avoid a mishap I asked my best friend to take him for the evening to where I am moving and ask that when he isn't being watched (he was going to stay and watch over Tiny Tim ) to leave him secure inside a empty half bath and to bring him to me the following day since he would come down to load the moving boxes.

On February 07, 2024 I called to check on Tiny Tim in the morning and everything was fine I was told. I was feeling better than usual days from my traumatic brain injury symptoms and I decided to drive up to try and clean the kitchen cabinets at my new residence and pick up Tiny Tim. Well when I get there I notice he was out and about, he was so happy wagging his little tail and I proceeded to walk a bit further in and I come to realize his back left leg is completely up and he isn't moving it. I touch it and though he didn't cry he seemed like he had discomfort yet showing resilience.

I called my best friend to ask why was Tiny Tim out and he just didn't have any answer and he said he was fine. Without thinking or any hesitation I pick up Tiny Tim and take him to a Veterinarians office I had spotted when

scouting the area three minutes away. Once there they immobilized his leg to avoid further damage and as you can see he has a big fracture and the only explanation might be that he fell from the stairs because he was left out. I am angry, frustrated, in disbelief because I trusted and I shouldn't. I feel like a failed in protecting my furbaby.

The vets office I went to isn't equipped with much and they did what they could and told me to take him to orthopedic surgeon which I did today February 8, 2024. The estimate is included.

I have pain medicine until Saturday I am certain they can prescribe more should I need more time. I am having faith and hope that I receive help during this difficult time to help my furbaby. He is comfortable and isn't in pain but he needs the surgery soon to avoid further damage. I am taking time to be with him around the clock and ensure he doesn't put pressure on his injured leg.

Any amount of your generosity will be appreciated. Feel free to contact Kendall Pointe Animal Hospital to verify information.

Once again, thank you for your time and generosity.
