Hi family, friends, strangers- 

I really thought 2020 was the worst year, but 2021 is really putting up a fight for that title. If you know me, you know how much Rufus means to me. If you don't know me- Rufus is my everything. He's my greatest teacher, deepest love, closest friend, and all around my better half.

We found out Rufus has 5 cancerous tumors that are in need of immediate removal. He is scheduled for surgery this Friday (4/16) to have these masses removed. 

Unfortunately- life has handed me challenge on challenge on top of challenge. Which leaves me struggling to pay for his medical bills as I too am dealing with my own cancer diagnosis and medical bills from my own surgeries. 

I would be so grateful for any amount of help to keep my best friend living a long happy life with me.
