Help Charley Walk Again

Hello, my name is Gabrielle, and I created this fundraiser for my father’s puppy, Charley.
Charley is only 8 months old and is the sweetest, most loving little soul — truly a treasured member of our family. Recently, she suffered the heartbreaking injury of breaking both of her front legs. For the past five long weeks, we have been doing everything we can to help her heal, including weekly cast changes and regular X-rays.
Unfortunately, after reviewing her most recent X-rays, our veterinarian shared devastating news: the casts are not allowing her bones to heal correctly. Charley now urgently needs surgery on both legs in order to properly realign her bones and give her the chance at a full recovery.
This experience has been incredibly emotional for our family. Watching such a young puppy struggle to walk, play, and simply be a puppy has been heartbreaking — and all we want is to see her back on her feet, happy and pain-free.
So far, after five weeks of treatment, my father has already spent $4,209 on casts changes and X-rays alone. We were recently informed that the required surgery will cost an additional $6,000–$9,000, depending on how the procedure goes. This is an overwhelming financial burden, especially as my father’s only income is a limited amount of Social Security.
If you feel moved to support Charley’s healing journey, any donation — no matter the size — would mean the world to our family. Every contribution truly adds up and brings us one step closer to giving Charley the care she desperately needs.
More than anything, we just want to see this little girl running, playing, and enjoying her puppyhood again.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who feels called to support Charley during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express. ❤️

Thank you for helping me get back on my feet.
