Help Duke Become a Pirate-Fund Duke’s Cancer (Eye) Removal

Donation protected

Hey everyone,

My best boy, Duke, has been diagnosed with melanoma in his eye. The good news? The cancer hasn’t spread, and with surgery to remove the eye, he’ll be able to live a long, happy, treat-filled life. The bad news? The cost of the surgery is a bit overwhelming, and I could really use some help.

Now, if you ask Duke, he’s been training his whole life for this moment. Every stolen sock, every rogue chew toy, every intense stare into the distance—he was clearly born to be a pirate. He just didn’t think it would happen like this. But with your support, he can finally fulfill his destiny, rocking an eyepatch and commanding the high seas (or at least the couch).

I hate asking for help, and I wish I didn’t have to. But if you can spare anything to help Duke get through this surgery, I would be beyond grateful. And as a thank-you, every donor will receive a personalized thank-you card from Duke himself after surgery—because even pirates have good manners.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help, whether it’s a donation, a share, or just some good vibes sent Duke’s way. We both appreciate it more than you know.

With gratitude (and a slightly more pirate-y pup),
Catie & Captain Duke
