<div>Hi all!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m writing from Seattle to ask any generous folks to help my 10 year-old Chiweenie Beans afford surgery for her IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). IVDD is a spinal condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae degenerate, bulge, or rupture, pressing on the spinal cord. For the last year, Beans has slowed down significantly, and has been showing signs of something of something not being right. And around a month ago, started showing signs of pain: panting, refusing food, and walking with a drunk gait.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After an ER visit she was diagnosed with a herniated disc caused by IVDD. We were told after some steroid treatment and rest she may improve, but if she didn’t she would require surgery and physical therapy to restore feeling to her back legs. With IVDD- time is pivotal, if their condition starts to deteriorate, their chances of being able to walk again even after surgery decline rapidly. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After some rest and medication, Beans hasn’t seemed to improve, but instead has lost most function of her back legs. She isn’t sleeping, eating much (if you know Beans this is rare), in a continuous state of high anxiety, and is completely dragging her back legs when she tries to walk and often falling down. It has reached a point where she is not walking on her own, and requires help getting to her food, and using the restroom. She is on a daily dose of Gabapentin and Codeine, without much relief. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is incredibly difficult and embarrassing for me to reach out for financial assistance, but Beans has been my best friend since I was 17, and I would do anything to get her the help she needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have been estimated $15k for the surgery, plus additional follow up and physical therapy costs. Any tiny donation means so much to me, or if you can’t donate sharing our story to your friends would be additionally so kind. I know we are all in a place where money is incredibly difficult, so I am not expecting anyone I know or who reads this to be capable of donating. If you're able to donate or share this with others who might, it would mean the world to Beans and me and will go 100% towards her surgery and additional PT.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Attaching her Instagram if you want to follow and see some incredible Beans content:

</div>
<div>Please share the word, thank you all so much!!
