Dear friends, family, and compassionate animal lovers,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news about our cherished four-legged family member, Brud. Today, our vet found a cancerous mass on his heart, a diagnosis that has left us feeling shattered. Brud is an integral part of our lives, filling our days with boundless joy, laughter, and unconditional love. As a member of our family, he has brought immeasurable happiness, comfort, and companionship. Facing this unexpected health challenge has been emotionally overwhelming, and we find ourselves grappling with the thought of losing our kiddo. The financial burden of medical treatments has added another layer of stress during an already difficult time.

We are reaching out to you, our extended community, for support in raising funds to provide Brud with the necessary medical care, surgery, and ongoing medications required to fight this form of cancer. Your contributions will not only help alleviate the financial strain but also give Brudley a fighting chance to continue wagging his little boxer nub and being the biggest source of joy in our lives. The prognosis we have been given if surgery goes well is an extension of his life up to 3 years. At 7 years old, he has much more life to live. But an additional 3 years is an amount of time at this point that we would beg to have with him.

Our love for Brud is immeasurable, and the thought of losing him is more than we can bear. Your generosity will not only impact his life but will also be a beacon of hope during this challenging journey. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to ensuring that our sweet boy receives the care he needs.

From the bottom of our hearts, we express our gratitude for your kindness, love, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please share this campaign with your networks if you're able. He has his first heart surgery tomorrow, December 1st.

With endless gratitude,

Molly & Riley (and Brud)
