Bandit's Wrecking Cancer, But There's Bills

Donation protected
If anything bad happened to him I would murder anyone responsible, but I can't murder cancer. Luckily his doctors say he's doing very well with his treatments.

Bandit is the love of my life, all my friends and family know that he outranks them and he's lovely and wonderful and cute and my absolute best friend. I don't get to see him much while I'm away at college for my senior year at SCAD, but if I can trust my mom to do one thing right while I'm away it's taking good care of my lil' guy. She's doing her best, but she's crazy stressed with the bills piling up.


I'm deeply reliant on student loans and scholarships to get through college, my dad has been unemployed for over a year, I have no health insurance let alone Bandit, and my mom pretty much scrapes by covering all our expenses(e.g. food, phone bill, my monthly student loan payments, etc.) with only her mind, built for frugality, and her part-time job with diminishing hours at the local library in our small town. I'm probably going to stay in debt for most of my life for my education and sometimes I feel bad just for buying groceries to eat because my mom pretty much pays for everything herself. My savings account helps a little, but the funds are dwindling; rapidly approaching the minimum $100 required to keep it open.

When I saw one of my professors create a gofundme for another SCAD professor's leukemia bills multiple friends told me I should I put up my own gofundme for Bandit's cancer bills. I don't like asking others for money, I'm more the giving type, partly because I feel like I don't deserve the money. Maybe I don't, but Bandit definitely does and so does every beautiful dog in this world(which is all of them).

So I might as well put myself out there for him.


Bandit is a champion: he's very active and healthy and loved(despite whatever age he is, I refuse to think about that stuff) and just this last few months he fought cancer, conquered the lymph nodes in his throat, regained his bark, and now he's suffering through chemo while trying to eliminate the cancer completely.


I can't promise more than a simple thank you in return for any donation, but I will try to find a way to post every adorable video of my boi for you to see during his recovery. My mom sends me a few every couple days while I'm away at school.
