Help Oliver Walk Again: Emergency Surgery Fund
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Animal Lovers,
Today, I reach out with a heavy heart and a plea for help on behalf of my beloved dog, Oliver. This morning, Oliver underwent emergency back surgery to correct a herniated disc that was compressing his spine, leading to paralysis in his back two legs. This condition came on suddenly, leaving me with little time to prepare or consider alternatives -- time is of the essence when it comes to this disease. The surgery, while hopeful to restore his mobility and free him from pain, has placed financial strain on me.
Oliver is more than just a pet; he's a family member, a constant companion, and a source of joy and unconditional love in my life. Watching him struggle with paralysis was heartbreaking, but thanks to the quick action of our veterinary team, there's hope he will walk again. However, the cost of this life-saving surgery is $11,000, a staggering amount that has added to the financial strain I'm already under from his previous surgery last May.
Despite having pet insurance, I'm faced with a significant shortfall. My policy covered $5,000 of the surgery cost, but because Oliver now has a pre-existing condition, the insurance company would not raise my coverage after his last surgery. As a result, I'm left with a bill I simply cannot afford, still paying off his previous medical expenses.
This is where I need your help. I'm setting up this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to cover Oliver's surgery and ongoing care. Every penny counts and brings Oliver one step closer to recovery and a normal life. Your support means the world to me and will help alleviate the financial burden so I can focus on Oliver's rehabilitation and well-being.
How You Can Help:
Donate: Any amount, no matter how small, will help me reach my goal.
Share: If you're unable to donate, sharing Oliver's story on social media can also make a huge difference.
Send Positive Vibes: Thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes for Oliver's speedy recovery are always welcome.
My Promise to You:
Transparency and gratitude are the cornerstones of this campaign. I will provide regular updates on Oliver's progress and how the funds are being used. I am committed to ensuring that every donation goes directly to paying for his surgery and recovery.
In these challenging times, the support of community, friends, and fellow animal lovers is more precious than ever. I'm humbled by your generosity and kindness. Together, we can give Oliver the chance to run and play again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, thoughts, and love.
With gratitude,
Julianne and Oliver
