Olá, beautiful souls. My name is Valeria and I came to Portugal from Kalmykia, chasing hope and a fresh start. As an immigrant, rebuilding a life has had its share of challenges – but through every step, my dog Peach has been my anchor.

Peach isn’t just a pet. He’s my companion, my comfort, and the joyful soul who’s stayed by my side through thick and thin. Right now, at just 4 years old, Peach is struggling with hip dysplasia, a painful condition that makes even walking a challenge. The vet says he urgently needs surgery to regain his mobility and live without suffering.

‍⚕️ Diagnosis: Hip Dysplasia

️ Recommended Treatment: Corrective surgery to relieve pain and restore movement

Estimated Cost: €2000 (covering surgery, medications, recovery care)

Why Your Help Matters

I’ve been doing everything I can to make ends meet here – working hard, managing bills, adjusting to a new culture. But this sudden veterinary cost is beyond what I can handle alone. I’m turning to you – not just for financial support, but for kindness and solidarity.

Whether it’s a donation, a share of this page, or a few comforting words – you’ll be giving Peach the chance to run freely, chase butterflies, and live the life every dog deserves.

Peach recently had surgery on one of his legs, which cost us €800.

We still need to cover this bill, and once he recovers (in about 3–4 months), he’ll need surgery on his other leg as well.

Thank you for reading our story. Obrigada from both of us.

With love,

Valeria & Peach
