It is with great reluctance that I post this but, I need help. Please watch the video, it explains this fundraiser in full detail.

My dog Miles is 13 & a half years old & I have had him for 12 & a half of those years. He is my entire world. I am a musician from the Dayton Ohio area & he has been a LARGE part of my social media presence for that entire time, so much so that I have no problem admitting he is the star of my show.  

Miles has had some health issues over his life, especially this last year, that have accumulated some debt. This past weekend I took him to the ER where they found out via various testing that he has a "gargantuan" tumor inside his body, displacing all of his internal organs. Whether the tumor is cancerous or not, it is not able to be removed due to its size. He has been given days to live.

So far during these last 5 days he has had some ups & downs, but overall he's still doing ok. He's still able to use the restroom, walk around(although he's lowed down immensely,) rest as well as eat & drink. These are the main things I need to keep an eye on per my vet. It is possible the size of the tumor could lead to any number of organ failures as well as internal bleeding, all of which would end his life in moments to minutes I'm being told. If his pain gets to the point of it being unmanageable by meds or if any of the above takes a rapid decline, I will have to take him to be put down. 

I am completely heartbroken & lost....

He has been the light at the end of a dark tunnel & my reason for everything I do for so long, that imagining when he is gone, I am unsure as to my purpose here. 

I cannot stop crying. 

I am doing this fundraiser after so many friends reached out to me trying to help me with his vet bills & end of life costs, as well as my bills during this time as I am unable to work to care for him. 

You can follow these last few days on my posts on facebook at www.facebook.com/idiedtony

I will pocket NO MONEY. I PROMISE. EVERY PENNY raised will go to cover his costs, my bills & allow me to stay home & take care of him every day during this very difficult time. I love my job but I don't make very much money & if I do not work, I do not get paid. 

I put $2500 as my "goal" but I am not trying to reach a set goal, any help I can get I welcome.

If for some reason I would get more than the goal listed, all of that would be applied to my Home Equity Credit Line which I have used for his expenses during the last year & a half as well as for personal emergencies. I struggle making the payments on it in addition to everything else. 

I am planning on leaving this fundraiser up for 30 days as some friends have reached out that they wanted to help but are unable to at the present time. 

If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser for me would also be greatly appreciated. 

I will do updates as often as I can, both here as well as Facebook, as this rough time unfolds.

Thank you for your time & for any help for my little boy....

Sincerely,

Miles & Tony Goff.
