Dakota emergency knee surgery

Im starting a GoFundMe me on behalf of Ellen since she doesn’t use social media. Her dog was out playing and had an accident that now requires surgery. Ellen is a full time student and a hard working EMT in alameda county. This is a huge financial hit for her, as she is trying to save for nursing school. She didn’t want to ask for help, but she needs it. “Anyone who knows me knows that my dog is my whole life. Dakota is such an utter joy and you can’t help but fall in love with her. I want to give her the best life. This week we had several unexpected vet visits and now we are scheduled for a knee repair surgery that is estimated to cost over $5,000 in addition to the $2500 in xrays and sedation. Her insurance is only going to cover a small portion of the costs. I hate to ask for handouts, but if you are able to donate anything it would be so greatly appreciated” Ellen holly.
