Helping Hooper

Helping Hooper

I'm setting up this GoFund Me for my friend Christine Gilbert. Christine is an amazing person, always the first to offer and show up to help. Now she needs our help

Christine's adored bulldog Hooper fell ill on Sunday night without warning. After rushing him to the ER, it was discovered he had a tumor on his spleen that had burst and he was bleeding internally. Hooper underwent immediate surgery to remove the tumor, his spleen, and a piece of his liver. He is now recovering at home after two days in the ER, as he would only eat in the ER when fed by Christine and it was felt his progress would be improved at home. While he successfully made it through surgery, Hooper is having difficulty weight bearing on his back legs. His medical bill is significant and I am asking for friends to help Christine cover at least part of it.

Christine is a teacher and coach and volunteers with a number of groups. One of those is a bulldog rescue, Buddies thru Bullies, for which she fosters and helps find homes for many pups. She has struggled herself with medical issues, including a number of surgeries over recent years that she is still paying off. Hooper's surgery, adds to this financial stress.

Please help me help Christine! No amount is too small. Thank you.
