Help Tuukka beat cancer

Donation protected
As most of you know,  I found Tuukka 3 1/2 years ago,  abandoned in the woods with another pup.  I waited 10 hours with him on the side of sunrise hwy service road until we caught the other pup he was with.  I fell  hard!  He was 50lbs, just skin over bones.  He spent a month in the shelter and no one came for either of them. I eventually adopted him and he became my son.  Fast forward to December 2019, I noticed a lump the size of an egg near his right shoulder.  Biopsy confirmed my worst fear;  soft tissue sarcoma.  We are going ahead with surgery to remove his tumor,  and unfortunately the leg/ shoulder as well.  The cancer has been eating away at the bone.  So far,  all the testing and medicines have totaled $4,731.86. The surgery will be on Thursday,  January 16, 2020. The low estimate is $5,281.90 and the high is $6,663.70. This does not include chemo or radiation after.  

He is my gift from God and we need to beat this cancer.  If you can help,  it would mean the world to me.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
