We’re raising funds to help cover the cost of emergency surgery for Maya, my service dog and beloved pet of 7 years.

Maya experienced a condition called GDV, also known as bloat. Her stomach filled with gas and twisted, cutting off blood flow to vital organs. GDV is a sudden and life-threatening condition that required immediate surgery to save her life, so we moved forward with treatment right away, but the cost of the surgery and hospitalization was more than we could manage on our own.

Maya made it through surgery and is now recovering. Funds raised will go directly toward covering the cost of that life-saving emergency procedure.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting Maya in any way—through donating, sharing, or keeping her in your thoughts.
