Hi, my name is Christina and I’m Fundraising for my dog and best buddy, Cooper. It’s overwhelming to be making one of these because his diagnosis of Lung Cancer still seems so unreal. I also feel bad asking all of you for help, but honestly, we really need it and I appreciate you even taking the time to read this. You see, Cooper isn’t just a pet, he’s a best friend, an emotional support pup, and we can’t imagine losing him. Due to some of my own health issues, I’ve been on disability and Cooper is always there to help. On good days and bad- he never leaves my side. He’s my shadow and somehow always makes me feel better. He has always taken care of me and I have to take care of him, I cannot let him down.

Cooper has a lung tumor on the outer edge of his lung that was found during another surgery. He had to have his spleen removed 3 weeks ago and during the pre surgery tests, his X-ray showed the lung tumor. We’re told that the location of the lung tumor is low risk because it is not by the trachea or bronchial area and that he is a good candidate for the procedure. Luckily, since it was caught early the prognosis would be good.

Unfortunately, depending on how the surgery goes (how much oxygen, medication and nights he will need to stay at the surgical center), the estimate we were given was $4,295 to $5,836… and due to a long string of almost comical bad luck and then using what money we had left on Coopers Splenectomy and CT scan, we really need help. The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, March 6th. Any amount you’re willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated and if you’re unable to contribute, we completely understand! If possible, a share with friends or family would mean the world to us as well! Thank you so much again for even taking the time to read and consider Coopers fundraiser. I will keep you updated on surgery and recovery. ❤️
