Help Ralphie Walk Again: Surgery Needed

Donation protected
Meet Ralphie, he is our 8-year-old Maltipoo. We adopted him on Dec 1, 2019. Over the years he has brought our family an abundance of joy, love, and happiness. He enjoys running around and playing with our grandchildren. Most days he is happy and at peace relaxing on our lap. He is most excited when we take him out for fresh air on our morning walks. He prides himself on barking away any danger posed by UPS, FedEx, and Amazon delivery carriers. That's our Ralphie and we love him dearly. Last but not least, he is the older brother to Cooper a Pomeranian. They share daily activities and have not been apart for long periods of time. He is truly a loving and active little guy. On May 9, 2024, our world changed, Ralphie woke up stumbling from his bed and unable to walk straight, shortly thereafter he lost the use of his back legs. We immediately took him to our veterinarian who diagnosed him with Cervical Neck Disk Disease, this diagnosis requires surgery. Our hearts are broken and we have turned to GoFundMe for assistance. We have dedicated our available funds to his appointments, medications, and diagnostic testing. We have exhausted our funds and I humbly request your assistance. Your donation will enable the surgery Ralphie desperately needs to walk again. Even a small donation can go a long way in making a difference in the life of Ralphie. I understand that times are tough for many, and asking for financial support can be uncomfortable. However, I believe in coming together as a community to help one another in time of need. The extent of the surgery, and aftercare (follow-up visits, x-rays, medication, etc) will be between 9K to 10K.

We understand if you cannot donate and we thank you for taking the time to read Ralphie's story but most importantly I ask you that you would pray for Ralphie and his needs.
We trust God is in control and faithful.
