I’ve started this GoFund me for my friends Val & Will in hopes to help them through this most difficult time.

Val and Will are lifelong dog lovers who have always opened their

hearts and home to dogs in need.

I met them through Instagram at

@ROSEANGELS_FURBABIES, and our

friendship grew even closer after the

loss of their beloved Zoey in March

2025. Val is an amazing woman who

has always been there for others,

even while facing her own health

challenges. She has RSD, a painful

condition that affects her mobility,

and has been disabled since 2020.

When Zoey became ill, Val and Will did everything they could to help her, but sadly, she passed away in March 2025. The vet bills for Zoey's care left them with an outstanding Care Credit bill on top of everything else they are facing.

In the midst of Will's illness, their beloved Scrappy passed away in September 2025 after a sudden infection and loss of mobility. Will was deeply devoted to Scrappy, and the emotional toll of losing him was immense. Val and Will took Scrappy to the vet every day for several days, hoping for answers and relief, but ultimately, the vet said he was in too much pain.

The vet cried and prayed with them, sharing in their heartbreak.

The vet bills for Scrappy's care added to their financial strain.

In May 2025, Will had two molars extracted, which led to a series of medical tests and, ultimately, a devastating diagnosis of multiple myeloma in July 2025. This cancer is incurable, and Will has had to stop working, first going on short-term disability and then long-term disability, which now only covers 60% of his income. As a result, Val and Will have gone through all of their savings just to keep up with daily expenses and medical bills.

To make matters worse, they were recently in a car accident that totaled their only vehicle. The insurance payout is still pending, so they are stuck making car payments for a car they no longer have, while also trying to figure out how to get reliable transportation for Will's weekly chemotherapy and doctor visits. They are now applying for Social Security Disability, but the process could take over a year, and they are unsure how they will manage in the meantime. Their two daughters and son-in-law help as much as they can, but the financial strain is overwhelming.

Val and Will have always given so much to others-now they need our help. Please consider supporting them during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity will help them cover essential living expenses, medical bills, pay off vet bills for Zoey and Scrappy, and secure a reliable car so Will can continue his treatment. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in their lives and help them continue their fight.
