My name is Dell. I am a retired NYPD Detective. I was forced to retire due to line-of-duty injuries. I moved to FL to help my parents and my daughter with her new baby.

We all live in one multigenerational home, consisting of 4 generations. Sophie is the glue within our family. Sophie is my therapy dog, who wakes me when I’m having PTSD nightmares, when my oxygen level is low, or when I’m sad, depressed, or upset in any way. She will hug me and kiss my face. She sits herself as close to me or my face as possible and takes it all away from me! I cannot survive without my best friend, who keeps me balanced and happy whenever she’s around! Sophie hates confrontation, and in a home of 4 generations, there can be conflict. Sophie will make it very clear that this is not okay. She does make us stop or chill! Sophie is special, and without our home referee, none of us would be the same. I've had to humble myself and ask for help. I have already spent about $2300. I will do anything for my girl. I have listed the current estimate for the next stage of her cancerous tumor removal.

PLEASE, any amount will help!

Also, I am happy to share the estimate/plan of action with anyone who requests!
