Hi, my name is Ava and I have autism, epilepsy, chronic muscle issues, and genetic disorders, to name a few. I spend most of my days sick at home. My parents bought me a dog as a late birthday gift after losing my grandpa. From day one, me and Freya have been best friends. She never leaves my side when I am sick. We got the sad news today from the vet that she has a double hernia and she needs surgery. Surgeries are very expensive, so I'm trying to be an adult and help my parents out with the cost of surgery to help save my pet. I would hate to lose my best friend already, but if this goes untreated, it can be fatal. Any little amount is greatly appreciated, and it all adds up and helps in the end.
