I’m raising funds to create several meaningful memorial tributes for my dog, Tonks, who passed away on November 8 after 14 years together. I adopted her when she was just 4 months old, and from that moment on she was my constant through 12 different homes, every major life change, and every version of who I became. She was my family, my comfort, and my favorite part of every day.

The main tribute will be a memorial tattoo on my birthday, February 10, along with a few additional keepsakes to honor her life and the impact she had on mine. These memorials are my way of keeping her close and preserving the love and stability she gave me for so long. Any support toward these tributes means more than I can express, and I’m deeply grateful for anyone willing to help me honor her memory.
