Hi, my name is Lisa Watson, and my amazing brother Arturo Hammeken found this precious little girl who we have named Lilliana, on the street in really bad condition. She was suffering with heat exhaustion on the streets with no food or water and an open bleeding wound on her chest.

Lilliana is severely emaciated and we have found out she has advanced mammary cancer which can be treated. One of her tumors has ruptured, leaving her with an open, bleeding wound that requires urgent surgical care. Despite her condition, she is incredibly gentle, loving, and trusting — a precious little soul who clearly hasn’t given up, even after everything she’s endured.

We have covered all of the financial and physical care so far, including emergency veterinary treatment, medications, wound care, and stabilization. However, she has a long road ahead, and we are reaching out to our community for help.

In recent months, two of our other rescue dogs, Lou and Dolly (who most of you will remember was our last rescue with the open foot wound), both just underwent cancer surgeries. At the same time, I am also covering my own out-of-pocket medical treatments here in La Paz for cancer. I share this only for transparency — rescue work is an act of love, but it can also be financially overwhelming, and I need some help covering her surgery.

We are asking for help to cover the cost of her cancer surgery ($12,000 pesos/ $680 US dollars) for Lilliana because she has suffered so much and deserves comfort, dignity, and to know unconditional love and safety.

If you are able to donate or share, please know that you are giving Lilliana a chance to live without suffering and to finally experience the kindness and the unconditionally loving home she was always meant to know ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting rescue, compassion, and second chances. ❤️

If you would like to donate directly to the Vet caring for Lilliana here is the info, tell the vet it's for Arturo and Lisa's rescue (White dog with mammary cancer and ruptured tumor), named Lilliana. Please text or message me or Arturo if you do pay the vet directly so I can subtract it from the amount we need. Also go fund me won't let me add their phone number for some reason so I am trying to upload a picture of the vets info and number. I will also upload or share her records for anyone wants to follow her journey of healing as well as soon as I figure out go fund me. I'm usually the one donating and this is my first time using go fund me or asking for help.
