Hi everyone,

My name is Michael, and I’m reaching out with a humbled heart to ask for help for my beloved Corgi, Norman.

Norman isn’t just a pet — he’s family. He’s the goofy, loyal little shadow who follows me from room to room, greets me like I’ve been gone for years even if it’s only been minutes, and somehow knows exactly when I need comfort. His personality is larger than life, and his love has been unconditional from day one.

Recently, Norman became ill with severe gastrointestinal issues. After multiple vet visits and worsening symptoms, he had to be admitted to the emergency veterinary hospital, where he is currently being hospitalized for intensive testing, monitoring, and treatment. The vets have informed us that the underlying cause may be cancer, and we are still in the process of determining exactly what we’re dealing with and what the next steps will be.

Watching him suffer has been absolutely heartbreaking. He’s anxious, uncomfortable, and away from home — and all I want is to give him the best possible chance to heal and feel safe again.

Emergency veterinary care has began to add up very quickly. Between hospitalization, imaging, lab work, medications, and ongoing monitoring, the costs are already significant and continue to rise. I am hoping to raise $3,000 to help cover these immediate medical expenses so that finances don’t limit the care Norman receives during this critical time. While his insurance covers a portion of his expenses, Being able to come up with the funds can prove to be difficult.

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as appreciated. Every bit of support helps more than I can express.

Thank you for taking the time to read Norman’s story and for keeping him in your thoughts. He’s a fighter, and with your help, I’m hopeful he can come home soon — back to doing what he does best: spreading joy, love, and Corgi smiles.

With gratitude,

Michael & Norman ❤️
