Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my GoFundMe.

I never imagined I’d be here asking for help, but my heart is breaking. Stitchy isn’t “just a dog” — he’s been my lifeline. After losing both of my parents, I honestly don’t think I would have made it without him. Stitch has been more than just an emotional support, he’s been my comfort through the hardest days of my life, and the one who reminds me there’s still a reason to keep going.

Now he’s the one who needs saving. Stitch has a painful dental abscess and chronic skin allergies that are making him miserable. The vet quoted about $1,800 just for the dental procedure alone, not including the treatment for his skin. He’s having trouble eating, and I can tell he’s hurting — but I feel helpless watching him suffer.

My boyfriend recently lost his job due to a back injury, and I’m struggling with disabilities that make working difficult right now. We’ve been trying our best to stay afloat, but there’s just no way we can cover this vet bill on our own.

I hate asking for money — truly, it makes me uncomfortable — but Stitch means everything to me. He saved me more than once, and now I just want to save him. If you’re able to donate, share, or even just send kind words, it would mean the world to us. Every dollar helps get him closer to being out of pain and back to wagging his tail again.

Thank you again for reading and thank you for caring.
