Tonight, I experienced one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life—I accidentally hit my dog Lilly with my car. She’s 9 years old, my best friend, my first baby, and truly a part of our family. I’m completely devastated and sick with guilt.

We rushed her to the emergency vet, and they were able to stitch her wounds and begin treatment—but the cost was over $1,000, which we had to pay up front. We had no choice but to use our house payment to save her life.

Now, I’m terrified we won’t be able to recover. I’m asking for any help to keep my family afloat while we heal from this. Anything—truly anything—means the world right now.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
