Help Leo Fight Stomach Cancer
Donation protected
This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. Our beloved dog Leo has recently been diagnosed with stomach cancer, and our world has been turned upside down. He’s not just a pet—he’s family. He’s my shadow, my little Velcro dog who never leaves my side. Every day, he watches me with the kind of unconditional love that only a dog can give. He’s full of energy, full of personality, and always makes us laugh—but more than anything, Leo is full of heart.
Watching him slow down over the last few days has been heartbreaking. The change has come so quickly, and it’s left me reeling. I always thought I’d be strong enough to face these moments, but the truth is, nothing prepares you for this kind of loss. It’s devastating.
I’m starting this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of his medical care, potential hospital stays, and eventually, when the time comes, to give Leo the peaceful, dignified goodbye he deserves. I want his final days to be filled with love and comfort, surrounded by the people and the dog (his buddy Milo) who love him most.
Any amount helps, and even if you can’t donate, sharing this page or sending us your love means the world. Thank you for supporting us as we try to honor Leo and make sure he knows how deeply he’s loved—every step of the way.
