If you know Madeline, you know how much capacity she has for love. She is an amazing friend and community member who shows up for her people in a major way. Her dog Drina, who is almost 14 years old, has been by her side through every chapter of life. Madeline’s son, Isaiah, has also grown up with Drina, making her a cherished and central part of their family unit. On Wednesday, Madeline faced a shocking and heartbreaking emergency when the vet told her that Drina needs to be put down immediately. This news has been devastating for Madeline and Isaiah, who are both preparing to say goodbye to their best friend.

Her hope is to provide:

• An at-home euthanasia, so Drina can pass peacefully in a familiar, loving environment

• Cremation services, so she can keep her close in a meaningful way

The total cost for this is significant, especially for a single mom who needs to take time off work to support her son through this loss. We’re coming together as a community to help ease this burden, so Madeline can focus on what truly matters- being present with Isaiah and Drina during these final moments.

Any support, whether it’s a donation, sharing this fundraiser, or simply sending love their way will make a difference. No amount is too small, and every gesture of kindness helps. Thank you for helping give Drina the gentle, loving goodbye she deserves, and for supporting Madeline and Isaiah as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.
