Today, I had to rush my sweet Mimi to VCA Emergency Animal Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. She was struggling to breathe, and after examining her, they confirmed what I feared most: she has a serious heart condition. She's now hospitalized, under strict care, and fighting. The good news is that the veterinary team believes she can be saved… and to that hope, I am holding on with everything I have.
Mimi came into my life 11 years ago, but it was over this past year and a half that she truly became my reason to keep going. I've been navigating a deeply painful divorce, and on my darkest days, it was Mimi who stayed by my side, who reminded me to breathe, who gave me the strength to get back up. She's not just a dog. She's my comfort, my quiet joy, and the one soul who has never abandoned me.
Asking for help doesn't come easily to me. I've always tried to handle things on my own. But today, I'm facing this completely alone, without a support system to lean on. The cost of her emergency treatment, medications, and ongoing heart care is far more than I can manage right now. I'm setting my pride aside because I simply cannot accept the possibility of losing her. As long as there's hope, I will never stop fighting for her.
Every donation will go directly toward her veterinary bills at VCA Emergency Animal Hospital, prescribed medications, and follow-up care. Even sharing this campaign means the world to me. I know I'm asking for a lot, and I'm doing so with my heart wide open, in complete humility and vulnerability. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for believing in the bond between a person and her dog. Mimi has given me so much. Now, I'm just asking for a chance to give her more time by my side.
With love and hope, Monica & Mimi
