Leyah is an 8-year-old with a deep love for animals and a compassionate heart. Her world changed suddenly when she lost her dad, with whom she shared a special bond. Now, as she grieves, Leyah is also facing the illness of her beloved cat, Louie, who needs urgent surgery for a hernia pressing against his heart and lungs. The thought of losing Louie is overwhelming for her.

Leyah is also caring for her dad’s dog, Prada, who provides comfort and a connection to her father. A child psychologist has emphasized how important it is for Leyah to avoid more losses right now. However, the costs of Louie’s surgery and caring for both pets are adding up quickly for Leyah’s mom.

Leyah has always been the first to help with animals and lights up around her furry friends. Supporting this fundraiser will help cover Louie’s surgery, ongoing veterinary care, and the daily needs of both Louie and Prada. In addition, your generosity will help provide for Leyah’s future as she navigates this difficult time. Your support will help keep Leyah’s animal family together and provide her with the stability she needs to heal. Every donation makes a difference. Thank you for helping Leyah and her furry family stay together.
