Nacho Needs Your Help to Recover

Help Me Save Nacho – My Sweet Rescue Dog Needs Life-Saving Care

I'm reaching out with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. One of my beloved dogs, Nacho, became suddenly and critically ill and had to be hospitalized immediately. He is currently on oxygen and undergoing numerous tests as the vets try to understand what caused this rapid decline. The cost of his care is already overwhelming, and if he needs to stay another two days - as they suspect - I'm not sure how I’ll be able to afford it.

Nacho is one of my rescue dogs - I have three,
they are my children, truly - and I love them more than words can express. I’ve always done everything I could to care for them, including providing them with pet insurance. But even with that, the out-of-pocket costs for emergency care and advanced treatments are more than I can manage alone right now.

On top of this, another one of my dogs had mammary surgery in the fall and still needs a second surgery to remove additional tumors. I’m doing everything I can, but the financial burden has become too much to bear.

We lost one of our sweet dogs in December 2023, and the grief from that loss still weighs heavily on us. The thought of losing another dog so soon is devastating. Nacho is responding well to treatment, and the medical team believes he has a good chance - if he can continue to receive the care he needs. I can't give up on him.

I’ve never asked for financial help before in my life, but I am now - because his life depends on it. If you can contribute, no matter the amount, or even just share this story, it would mean the world to us. Your support will help me give Nacho the fighting chance he deserves.

In the future, I will continue to pay it forward and support others going through similar situations - as I’ve done in the past. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, for caring, and for giving hope to my boy.
