Extend Eclair's Life: Your Help Needed

Help Save Eclair - My Loyal Companion of 6 Years

Hi, my name is Deepak, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. My sweet dog, Eclair, has been by my side for more than 6 years, bringing love, joy, and endless comfort. She’s not just a pet; she’s family.

A couple of weeks ago, Eclair started showing signs of fatigue, which was unusual for her. Concerned, we took her to the vet, hoping it was something minor. But instead, we received the heartbreaking news that her lymph nodes were swollen, and there was a strong chance it could be lymphoma, a common but aggressive cancer in dogs. Last week, our worst fears were confirmed—Eclair has lymphoma.

The vet referred us to an oncologist, and after many tears and difficult discussions, we were told that Eclair needs to undergo 19 weeks of CHOP (chemo) treatment. The oncologist assured us that most dogs tolerate the treatment well, with little to no side effects, and that the chemo could extend her life for another year or more—time we so desperately want to share with her.

But this chance at more time comes at a cost. The treatment is estimated to be between $13,000 to $15,000, an amount we simply aren’t prepared for. It’s a crushing reality because I can’t imagine leaving her untreated, knowing there’s something we could do to keep her with us for even a little longer.

Eclair is more than just a dog—she’s been my constant source of love and companionship. If you’ve ever had a dog or loved one of your own, you know how deep these bonds go. I’m not ready to say goodbye, not when there’s a chance to help her.

I’m asking for your support, whether it’s through a donation or by sharing our story. Every little bit helps, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you can offer.
