<div>Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read our story
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are Consuelo and Sebastian. For over 12 years, Fifi has been the light of our home. She has been with us since she was a tiny puppy, and today she is a vital part of our "furry family" of three: Fifi, Otto, and Rollo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Three and a half years ago, we made the big move from Chile to the United States. There was never a doubt in our minds: our three dogs were coming with us. They are our family, and they have been our constant companions through every major life change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, we noticed Fifi was losing muscle mass on the left side of her face and scratching her head frequently as if in discomfort. After a consultation with the specialists at Southeast Veterinary Neurology, the news was difficult to hear. They identified severe muscle wasting (atrophy) caused by an issue with her trigeminal nerve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The specialists are concerned about a nerve sheath tumor, and to understand the underlying cause and rule out a mass, the doctor has recommended advanced imaging (MRI) and diagnostic tests.
</div>
<div>We have always done everything possible to cover our pets’ medical care, but several unexpected situations came together at the same time. Last year, we faced a difficult battle when Otto was diagnosed with melanoma. We managed to cover his treatments, but now life has presented us with a new challenge for Fifi.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal of $8,500 will cover the specialized MRI of the brain, a spinal tap (CSF analysis), and the initial steps of her treatment plan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Under other circumstances, we would not have turned to a fundraising campaign, but today we need external support to give Fifi a chance. She is still bright, alert, and moving her tail; she is not ready to give up, and neither are we.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to giving Fifi the care she needs. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign also helps us tremendously.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our family and our sweet Fifi
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family
</div>
