Hello, my name is Jennie and I am writing this on behalf of my sister and her family.
Last Thursday started as just another day for Levi, the Brathwaite’s sweet and playful pup. He was full of energy, running around the yard, chasing a rabbit like he always does. But when he came back inside, something was wrong. He was shaking uncontrollably, crying in pain, struggling to walk, and trying to hide.
At first, we hoped it was something minor, but by Friday morning, Levi hadn’t improved. Heather rushed him to the vet, where they ran blood tests and X-rays—costing them over $1,000. The bloodwork came back normal, but the X-rays hinted at a possible spinal issue. The vet prescribed pain medication and a nerve block, hoping it would help.
Over the next few days, instead of getting better, Levi got worse. His back legs started giving out, and he could barely stand. Heartbroken and desperate for answers, Heather rushed him to the emergency vet, where they delivered devastating news: Levi would need urgent spinal surgery, a procedure costing $12,000.
Levi is not just a dog—he’s family. He’s Heather’s loyal companion, a best friend, and a source of unconditional love. The thought of losing him is unbearable. But the cost of surgery is overwhelming, and we can’t do this alone.
We are reaching out with hopeful hearts, asking for your support. If each person could donate just a little, together we could save Levi. Every dollar brings us closer to giving him the chance to run, play, and live the happy life he deserves.
Please, if you can, donate and share Levi’s story. No amount is too small, and every act of kindness means the world. Let’s come together to help this sweet pup get the life-saving care he so desperately needs.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
