We are Victor and Vanessa and we started this page to ask all our friends, family and animal lovers for their help to fundraise money for our fur baby Tiki's surgery due to luxating patella condition on her right knee.  We are aiming to reach the goal by mid February when her surgery is due. 

Full story: 
We got married 2 months ago and we have a beautiful and lovely 5 year old Yorkie named Tiki. Everyone that knows us is aware of how much Tiki means to us, she is literally our fur child and part of our family. 
Tiki was born in September 19 2011 and we have been taking care of her since she arrived into our lives in August 2012. 
Yorkies are known for being delicate dogs, they are prone to suffer from skin problems, allergies but especially from their knees. There's this common issue they develop which is called luxating patella. This condition happens when the kneecap dislocates. Dogs may live with it normally, however when the condition starts affecting their daily life, causing pain, discomfort and developing other knee and bone issues, such as an ACL torn, damage in ligaments and arthritis, it becomes a risk that has to be taken care of.
Unfortunately, when we got Tiki we got her a wellness plan not been fully aware that wasn't going to cover this type of urgencies that a health insurance plan would. 
Now Tiki NEEDS SURGERY, she has luxating patella in both knees, however her right knee is very damaged, it's dislocated and her knee cap does not have enough space to go back to its place and is permanetly in the inside. This is causing major risk of her ligaments to be damaged and a possibility of having her ACL torn. 
Tiki is a strong and brave little doggie girl, she still tries to live a normal life and walks and plays. However, she is very afraid of jumping because of the pain it causes to her knees, she has balance issues and tends to fall a lot because of it and walks inclining to a side. She cries sometimes when she is picked up and limps everyday, for that reason her doctor has recommended a surgery on her right knee. 
Been this not a life and death issue, we can not get any type of financial aid, not even from places like ASPCA (where she most likely will have her surgery done at). The only option we have is getting care credit, which wont cover the cost of the surgery completely, and these types of surgeries have to be paid in full before she goes in and we currently do not have the amount of money to cover it. That said, we are calling our friends and family, and animal lovers out there to help us to cover part of the expenses of Tiki's surgery! We are aiming for her to get surgery done by mid February and we hope we can financially afford to do it by then, any helps counts and will be GREATLY appreciated! 
Help us get our little QUEEN TIKI, as she is known in social media, back in shape and to normal, thank you in advance
Victor, Vanessa & Tiki
