Hi, my name is LaNae, and I’m here with a very heavy heart. My beloved dog, Risa, has just been diagnosed with an aggressive cancerous tumor. The veterinarian told me that surgery is the only chance she has to survive—and it has to be done immediately.
I am devastated. Risa isn’t just a dog—she is my family, my comfort, and my best friend. When my closest friend Leanne passed away last December, Risa was the one who stayed by my side. She laid her head on my lap when I cried, got me out of bed on the hardest mornings, and reminded me that love can still be found in this world.
I cannot imagine waking up to a world without her.

Why This Matters So Much
Risa has been my lifeline through grief and loss.
She is still so full of life—she loves her walks, her treats, and greeting everyone with her joyful spirit.
Without this surgery, I will lose her far too soon.

What Your Support Will Cover
The veterinarian has explained the urgency and costs:
Tumor removal surgery
Anesthesia, medications, and post-op care
Follow-up visits and testing
Every single dollar raised will go directly toward giving Risa the chance she deserves to keep living, loving, and being the heart of my little family.

How You Can Help
1. Donate – Any amount, big or small, brings me closer to saving her life. Even $10 can cover part of her medication.
2. Share – If you can’t donate, please share Risa’s story with your friends, family, or social networks. The more people who see this, the greater her chance.
3. Send Love – Prayers, positive thoughts, and encouragement mean more than I can say.

Final Words
Risa has given me unconditional love every single day. She has carried me through the darkest season of my life. Now I need help carrying her through hers.
Please, if you are able, help me save her life. Together, we can give Risa the chance to keep wagging her tail, following me around like a puppy, and reminding me—and anyone she meets—that love is stronger than loss.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank you.
