Help My Sweet Girl Sophia Beat Cancer
Don protégé
Hi, my name is Denise and I’m reaching out during one of the hardest moments of my life.
My beloved dog Sophia, my best friend for the past 9 years, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The words hit even harder this time because this isn’t her first battle. Sophia went into remission five years ago and I truly thought we had left this nightmare behind us. I never imagined we’d be here again.
Sophia is more than a pet. She’s my heart, my comfort, my constant companion through every storm. She’s been with me through heartbreaks, personal losses, late-night study sessions, and moments of deep anxiety. Now, I want to be there for her like she’s always been there for me.
The only real chance she has now is surgery. It is a costly but necessary procedure to give her more healthy years. Unfortunately, I can’t afford it on my own. I’m just about to start nursing school and as much as I’ve prepared for this next chapter in my life, nothing could’ve prepared me for this.
Between school costs, living expenses and no full-time income, I simply don’t have the funds. But I can’t just sit back and do nothing. That’s why I’m asking for help for Sophia.
Right now, the only medical option that gives Sophia a fighting chance is surgery. Without it, her prognosis is poor. I want to do everything I can to give her more time, time filled with love, play, and peace.
Why I Need Your Help:
Sophia’s surgery and necessary post-op care are estimated to cost 3K.
I’m unable to schedule the procedure until I can secure enough funds.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward her medical care, including:
Surgical costs
Medications
Bloodwork, imaging, and diagnostic testing
Post-op follow-ups and pain management
About Sophia:
She loves following me around the house, stealing snacks whenever she gets a chance and cuddling during study sessions.
She’s sassy, sweet and still so full of life despite her diagnosis.
Everyone who meets her falls in love with her gentle nature and expressive eyes.
How You Can Help:
Donate – Any amount, even $1, brings us closer to her surgery.
Share – If you can’t donate, please share this with your friends, family, or animal lovers who may be able to help.
Support – Your words of encouragement mean the world to me as I try to stay strong for her.
I will be posting updates and, as soon as I’m able to schedule her surgery, I’ll let everyone know. If we raise more than what’s needed, I will donate the rest to an animal rescue in Sophia’s honor.
Thank you for reading, sharing, donating, or even just sending love our way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me fight for my girl.
With love and gratitude,
Denise, Manny & Sophia
