A lot of you may not know me, but if you're reading this, you likely know and love our beautiful friend Regina. She's the kind of friend that you can pick up with no matter how much time has passed; someone who touches everyone she meets with how kind and thoughtful she is. She's probably been there for you when you needed it most, maybe recently, maybe years ago... but this time she needs our help and, if you know her, you know she won't ask for it herself.
At 14 years young, Gina's baby Swarley has been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer. It began with some unusual vomiting, and more recently progressed to difficulty breathing. At first, Gina was told that his bloodwork looked good and it might just be a food sensitivity, but things continued to get worse and Swarley had to be taken in for several more appointments. The road to get this diagnosis has been extremely difficult and come at considerable expense. Swarley has been to the vet EIGHT times since May, including a couple of very expensive visits to an emergency vet just to finally figure out what was causing his illness.
The prognosis moving ahead is guarded, and for now the oncologist has Swarley on a treatment to see if his breathing can be improved. The medical bills are already piling up and for the foreseeable future Swarley will still need supportive care to remain comfortable. If Swarley is a good candidate, chemotherapy could possibly be an option but it is unfathomably expensive.
No matter what the future holds, Gina has already invested a significant amount of money into getting Swarley the care that he needs. Please consider helping her out now in her hour of need. Any monies raised will go directly to Regina to help her pay off her expenses and can help her with any future expenses related to Swarley's care such as chemotherapy, special foods, and other medicines.
Thank you all for supporting!
