Help Bubba Take His Happy Steps Again
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Ashley and I am trying to raise funds for my dog/furbaby Bubba. This is his story:
Meet Bubba, a lovable 6-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a personality as big as his heart. Bubba's life is filled with quirky moments – he thinks he's a cat, enjoys afternoon naps with his feline companions Nelly & Ozzy, and he adores snuggling with anyone, especially women. He's the goofy, lazy, and endlessly affectionate companion that has stolen the hearts of everyone he meets.
Recently, Bubba faced a challenge that has turned his joyful life upside down. He tore his cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), a common issue in dogs of his size and breed. This injury has left him limping in pain, unable to enjoy the long walks and playful runs that once defined his days. It's heartbreaking to see my baby in such discomfort or to stop him from doing the things he enjoys.
After consulting with two veterinarians and a surgical specialist, it is clear that Bubba needs Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery to repair his CCL. This surgery will realign his knee joint and reduce the pain and inflammation he's experiencing. The cost of this surgery is estimated to be around $6,500, and this doesn't include potential expenses for a meniscal tear or follow-up appointments.
Bubba's surgery will be performed by Dr. Matthew Morgan, DVM, DACVS-SA, Chief of Surgery at VERG Brooklyn Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group. Dr. Morgan is a passionate expert in minimally invasive surgical procedures, and his dedication to the well-being of animals is well known.
As Bubba's mama, I'm facing a financial hurdle. I lost my job earlier this year, and with a mortgage and other bills to pay, covering the cost of this surgery is incredibly challenging. I've already had to dip into my savings for Bubba's earlier medical treatments, including two aural hematoma repairs. I'm reaching out for help because Bubba deserves to live a pain-free life.
Bubba's injury has taken away his ability to enjoy his daily walks and playtime. Instead of running freely in the yard, he's been confined to a sedentary lifestyle. It's heartbreaking to see him struggle with the pain, and I'm determined to get him back to his joyful self.
To ensure Bubba's full recovery and cover any unexpected expenses, we are aiming to raise $7,000. Every donation, no matter the amount, will bring us closer to this goal. Your generosity can make a world of difference for Bubba and me. As someone who has always been self-reliant, asking for help is not easy, but my furry son's well-being is worth it. Bubba doesn't deserve to suffer because I'm between jobs and buried in bills. Your contribution will ease my worries and help me provide the care he needs.
Your support and sharing of this fund will be deeply appreciated. Let's come together to ensure Bubba can once again take those joyful steps that light up our lives.
Thank you for considering supporting Bubba on his journey to recovery. Your kindness will not only mend his leg but also mend our hearts.
