Hi, my name is Norma, and I’m reaching out with my whole heart.

I’m preparing to move back to my parents' country, and the hardest part of this transition is the possibility of being separated from my dog, Bruno. Bruno isn’t just a pet, he’s my constant companion, my emotional support, and a huge source of stability in my life.

I’ve struggled with my mental health for years, and during some of my darkest moments, Bruno has been the one steady presence that keeps me grounded. He gives me routine, comfort, and unconditional love. When anxiety feels overwhelming, he’s there. When the world feels like too much, he reminds me I’m not alone.

Unfortunately, transporting a large dog internationally is extremely expensive. Between airline cargo fees, veterinary exams, vaccinations, paperwork, and travel crates, the costs quickly become more than I can manage on my own, especially while trying to rebuild my life during this move.

Leaving Bruno behind would be heartbreaking and destabilizing for both of us. We are deeply bonded, and continuing that bond means everything to me. I’m not asking for luxury, I’m asking for the chance to stay together.

Every donation, no matter the size, goes directly toward safely transporting Bruno so we can start this next chapter together. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser means more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for helping keep our family intact.

With gratitude,

Norma
