If you know me, you know that I hate asking for help for things, but this time I really need it. Odie recently fell ill really quickly. It's been a really scary experience. He's been at the vet all day receiving tests and scans. He is going into surgery for his colon soon. I've already paid $1,700 up front and the surgery estimate is $3,700. I'm looking at about a $5,000 weekend, which would be hard for anybody. I appreciate anything you're able to give to help mitigate some of these costs.

If I exceed my goal, I'll donate a portion to the Helen Woodward Animal Center, a no-kill facility that provides a variety of services that benefit the community through educational and therapeutic programs for people, and humane care and adoption for animals.
