We are hoping to raise some funds to help our friend Greg, his daughter Jasmine and their very special dog, Bonnie.

Greg & Jasmine have already had a truly awful time losing their wife/mum unexpectedly. Bonnie arrived in their lives as a Romanian rescue and gave them the focus and strength they needed to keep going.

But now Bonnie is the one needing help. She has become ill. Her tummy is bloated with a liquid which can't be drained and can't be comfortable for her. After various vet visits, calls, referrals to specialists and of course, a huge financial outlay, the vets are still none the wiser and the next stage of investigation will be very expensive with a consultation at nearly £500 and a biopsy at much much more.

Greg has pet insurance but each claim requires an excess fee and the insurance has a limit which will be surpassed by this next stage.

Right now, we all really want to alleviate some stress for Greg if possible. Both he and Bonnie deserve to be enjoying their autumn walks instead of filling in forms and driving from pillar to post in uncertainty.

Any small donation can become part of a big help and is hugely appreciated.
