Hi! My name is Melissa (aka Wikilea), and I am fundraising for two of my dogs, Yoni and Izzy.

Yoni has a diagnosed cancerous mass that needs to be removed by a specialist surgeon and will need continued treatment and check-ups due to his breed having a high risk of return or new growth.

Izzy has a mass around her mammary glands that needs to be removed before further growth occurs. She is at a higher risk than average due to her senior age.

Many of you know me for my piercings in the body modification and fine jewelry industry. I have been fortunate enough to travel the country and spread my passion through a diverse group of people. One common factor I share with most of my clients and peers involves us being avid animal lovers. If anyone knows me personally, my seven animals are my world. They have been with me through the works of life and keep me centered through it all. Everything I do is for them and our futures.

I am also working towards opening a piercing studio as a sole owner. In between traveling for work, I’ve been spending all off-time working on constructing a studio to facilitate piercings and fine jewelry for my clients again. Adding medical bills to my expense list is daunting.

I am hoping to raise $8,000 to cover the medical bills of Yoni and Izzy. This goes towards their surgeries, blood work, medications, checkups, and consultations. Any amount of donation is appreciated, and anything extra will be used to continue providing excellent care to these animals. If I have ever left a positive impression with you, please consider donating. If I have ever pierced you for free, given you jewelry, or cut you a deal, this is also a great opportunity. I put passion into my piercings, and the joy stems from my fur babies. Coming home to them makes everything I do worth it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
