Help Save Summer’s Life, Please!

Hi Everyone,
If you know me, then you know my best friend Summer. She is my 3yo baby aka Aussiedoodle. Summer is the cuddliest, friendliest dog around and is in need of some help.
Summer has had mysterious symptoms throughout her life and this weekend she is fighting to live. I’m raising funds to cover Summer’s hospital stay and a month of follow-up treatment. My happy, sweet baby has been diagnosed with Addison’s Disease, which will require lifelong care. Currently she is at the state where her body had begun to shut down and so the vet is working to stabilize her. After stabilization Summer will be on a daily medication and require monthly vet appointments and special injections to stay alive. If given the proper medical care, she will live a normal life.
My Plea: If you know me, you know that Summer is my everything. Summer is my emotional support animal. Most people aren’t aware of this, but at 17 I was sexually assaulted by a male 40ish medical professional who was both my coworker and my physical therapist. That assault has left me with pretty significant PTSD. The legal case, where I’m known as Jane Doe, was spread out over years long processes and almost broke me. During one of my toughest times, towards the end of the case, is when I got Summer. She is my reminder that things can get better and my love on days where it’s hard to feel any, and my safety when I’m scared. I can’t loose her.
If you have anything to spare, please help. If you can share this page, please share it.
Thank you,
Christina (Summer’s human mom)

P.S. If I could afford this, I absolutely would not be asking for help but I don’t have the ability to cover her expensive hospital stay and stabilization efforts
P.P.S. Any amount raised over what is needed for her hospital stay will go straight to the vet to pay for her lifelong monthly tests and injections.
