<div>JD and Lilly

</div>

<div>I am reaching out to friends, family and those that love our service dogs; dogs that pull duty as a partner to Veterans.  I am asking you to help me keep my Service Dog and Partner living a full life with me. 

</div>

<div>Lilly is my 15-month-old service dog who is currently undergoing chemotherapy at the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital for Large B cell Lymphoma, diagnosed in December 2024.  As she continues to undergo chemo treatment, we have learned that we have an opportunity for a 90% or greater cure with this type of cancer through a bone marrow transplant. 

</div>

<div>We have found a 100% match in her litter sister.  As a veteran Combat Marine, I want to fight for my service dog.  This journey will take us to the Stem Cell Transplant Veterinary Hospital (CTAC) in Chattanooga TN.  This procedure has a financial challenge that I am asking for your help with.

</div>

<div>The estimated cost for the combined veterinary procedures of Chemo - $10K/Blood Testing 8K/Stem Cell Transplant 95K.  This is quite overwhelming, but with the cure rate and the dedication to Lilly and all she has given me in this short time, I feel this is worth the challenge. 

</div>

<div>The purpose will be to cure her and give her a full life.  The results will be three-fold, 1) keeping my service partner with me in her service role, 2) continuing the veterinary endeavors to keep our furry friends healthy and living long lives.  3) any expense that surpasses the costs of this effort will be donated to other service partners thru:

<div>I Thank you for anything you can give, any amount will do and I will provide the updates and information as this journey progresses.  Thank you, my friends, for helping me carry out this challenge!!  JD
