My best and closest friend in the world, Rosco, was hit by a truck yesterday. This could not have happened at a worse time in my life, being unemployed at the moment due to a horrendous economy. Even with a master's degree and other credentials, I haven’t been invited to job interviews since last May. Rosco is the best thing in my life and the most wonderful dog I or anybody could ever have. His surgery is happening today and the costs are overwhelming. I spent almost everything I had last night just on his medical attention. This is wiping out my savings. I’m unemployed and desperate. Please help if you can. Your support would mean the world to me and Rosco, and would help give him the chance to recover and stay by my side.

Rosco has always been there for me, bringing joy and comfort through the hardest times. Now, I want to do everything I can to help him heal and get back to his happy, loving self. Thank you for reading our story and for any help you can offer.
