Join Liz and Rick: Help Pepper Heal

Hi, my name is Joann Villaseñor, and I’ve created this fundraiser for my sister Liz and her husband Rick Mendez, two of the most loving and devoted pet parents I know. Liz and Rick have three wonderful fur babies—Nala, Pepper, and Rue—who are not just pets but cherished members of our family.

On December 26, their beloved bernedoodle, Pepper, was tragically involved in an accident. Pepper is currently hospitalized, battling a heart arrhythmia and multiple pelvic bone fractures. She will undergo surgery to repair the fractures. Liz and Rick are doing everything they can to ensure Pepper receives the best possible care, but as you can imagine, the medical expenses are overwhelming.

This fundraiser is my way of helping alleviate some of the financial burden so that Liz and Rick can focus solely on supporting Pepper through her recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and mean the world to our family.

If you’re unable to contribute financially, we ask that you keep Pepper in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time. Your kindness and support are deeply appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
