Help Buddy get his Urgent Healthcare

We all know Buddy as the canine king of the London drag scene, and my not-so-silent shadow.

I have always been really honest about hard I find being alive and navigating life a lot of the time. I grew up as a trans man of colour in north London, supporting my single mum and pursuing an unstable career as a drag artist and dancer. I spent so many years struggling.

Buddy saved my life. The way that he loves me makes me feel valuable and cherished, and has also taught me that I am worthy of love and happiness. The way that he needs me keeps me grounded, and gives me something to always keep living for. I truly cannot imagine my life without him. He is my whole world.

A few weeks ago, we noticed a large lump on Buddy's neck, which is growing larger. His vet has advised that he needs urgent medical treatment, including a CT Scan, which he is having tomorrow. The cost of this treatment will be well in the thousands, likely around £8,000.

I am taking out a loan to cover the treatment, which will include:

However, I won't be able to pay it all back myself while continuing to support my family and myself.

I have no other option but to reach out to the community of people who love Buddy, and who know how much he means to me, to ask for your help. Any help is so greatly appreciated as we go through this really scary process.

There will also be a fundraiser Cabaret for Buddy at the RVT on the 27 September, which is yet to be announced, so save the date. Bring your proof of donation along to the event to receive an exclusive free print.
