Help Me Give Onyx the Care He Deserves

Donation protected

Hi everyone,

I never thought I’d be writing something like this, not in a million years but here we are.

My sweet baby boy Onyx has been facing some serious medical challenges this year, and it's been one of the hardest things I've ever gone through. Onyx isn’t just a pet, he’s my heart, my best friend, my whole world.

Earlier this year, Onyx was diagnosed with a liver mass, which turned out to be hepatocellular carcinoma. We were able to surgically remove it, and he recovered beautifully. For a while, it felt like we were past the worst of it.

But just a few weeks ago, I found another mass. After more testing and a full CT scan, I got the devastating news: his cancer has metastasized.

Despite everything, Onyx is still his sweet, funny, loving self. He’s eating well, wagging his tail, and giving kisses like always. He recently started radiation therapy to shrink the tumor near his chest/axilla and help keep him comfortable.

We are now in palliative care, doing everything possible to give him a good quality of life for as long as we can.

The financial burden has become overwhelming. Just one radiation treatment alone was over $3,000. That’s not including his earlier surgery, multiple diagnostic tests, medications, and ongoing care.

If you know me, you know I’m not someone who asks for help lightly. But I’ve reached a point where I know it's worth a shot to ask for help.

If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to me and Onyx.
If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with others, your support in any form is deeply appreciated.

Onyx is so much more than just a dog. He’s brought light and laughter into so many lives. If you’ve met him, you know he’s truly special. I want to give him the best care I can, for as long as I can.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, donating, and just being here for us during this incredibly hard time.

Me & Onyx want to thank you all in advance!

Feel free to Zelle or Venmo if preferred. It will not let me post my email so feel free to message me

Update:
Onyx's Oncology Bill is $3,443.00
Other Medical Bill is $3,228.00

Update:
Onyx recovered well from his splenectomy! Unfortunately he has grown another mass and it seems to be growing at a rapid rate. I am doing everything I can to make sure he’s comfortable & not in any pain. I thank you all for the help & support & I will continue to make sure Onyx receives all the love & care that he deserves!
Final update: Unfortunately Onyx is no longer with us. He fought for as long as he could & he was such a brave boy thank you all for the love & support
