Updated with first total estimate Francesca Von Sweets is more than just a pet—she’s a beloved family member and the best friend of our granddaughters, Jade and Aria. Our home feels incomplete without her sweet presence. Recently, Francesca began showing signs of pain and difficulty moving, and after a visit to the vet, we learned she has herniated discs in her back and is showing symptoms of IVDD. She’s currently at Blue Pearl Clinic, receiving pain management while we await a much-needed MRI. This MRI will help us understand the full extent of her injuries and determine the cost and urgency of the surgery she needs.

The past few days have been incredibly hard for our family. Francesca’s absence is deeply felt, especially by her little girls who are eagerly waiting for her to come home. We want nothing more than to see her healthy, happy, and back in our arms. The funds raised will go directly toward her MRI, surgery, and ongoing care so she can recover and return to the family that loves her dearly. Any support, no matter the amount, will help us bring Francesca home where she belongs.
