My name is Hailey, and I’m Rory’s mom. We have gone through a lot in the past 30 days. Prior to December 2025, Rory was seemingly healthy.

My 10 year old girl suddenly went into heart failure last month. We’ve had 3 hospitalizations so far, 2 echocardiograms, 6 X-rays, oxygen therapy, iv medications, and one cardiologist consultation. Luckily, she only had pulmonary edemas, which were reversible with oxygen therapy and iv diuretics. But her heart disease was misdiagnosed 4 different times, and also was resistant to oral furosemide, which caused her 3 hospitalizations. Luckily, the cardiology team was able to pinpoint her type of heart disease (unspecified and restrictive cardiomyopathy), and we are now properly treating her. Unfortunately, her prognosis is unclear. I’ve spent so much time mourning her ahead of time, and it’s driving me insane. On top of that, her vet bills alone are all the way up to $9,356.82. I’ve taken out a loan just to pay this. This doesn’t even include new food, transportation fees, lost wages from calling off work, routine bloodwork now needed, and her medicine. The anxiety of all of this is debilitating. I can’t sleep, focus, I feel like I can’t breathe. It’s crushing. I’m so scared to lose my girl.

Any donations are extremely appreciated, and will help Rory and I out immensely. This is not an easy journey, and any financial stress on top of it all is debilitating.
