Axel’s Vet Bills
Donation protected
On March 20th 2024, I had to make the difficult decision of letting go of my best friend and child of 12 years. Anyone that knew Axel and I knew that our bond was like no other. For the entirety of his life, that boy had become my meaning for existence. He was and still is everything I could have ever asked for. The morning I lost him, I knew I would have to make the touch choice of whether to keep him around for my own selfish needs or to put him out of his misery. Axel had a completely collapsed trachea which was cutting off his oxygen, an enlarged heart and a mass pressing on his trachea which made surgery nearly impossible to save him. Medication therapy would have maybe prolonged his life for a few hours, but not painlessly. I was not ready and I’m still not ready to accept that my sweet boy will not be running into my arms anymore. I’ve never been one to ask for handouts, but for the past 2 months I’ve been on short term medical leave from work for my own health issues, making just enough money to try to survive, so when I had to make the tough decision for my boy, it wasn’t even a second thought when it came to financials, however I have to accept the harsh reality that I do need help. I don’t like asking for handouts. I’m grateful that god works in mysterious ways and I was able to spend the last few months of my boys life with him where I was able to be with him at home uninterrupted. I miss him so very much. Thank you all for taking the time to read this.
