My heart is breaking as I write this.

My beautiful girl, Panda is only 9 years old, and she’s already facing something no dog should have to, cancer. She has developed multiple lumps, and some have been diagnosed as malignant. The vets have told me that surgery is urgently needed to remove them and give her the chance to keep living a happy, pain-free life.

She still has so much life left in her. She’s full of love, personality, and joy, the kind of dog who makes every day brighter just by being there. She isn’t ready to go, and I’m not ready to lose her.

I brought her with me all the way from South Africa to Portugal. She’s been by my side through everything, every change, every challenge, every new beginning. She’s not “just a dog” to me. She’s my family. My comfort. My constant. One of my pack.

I have three dogs and two cats, and I do everything I can to give them the care they deserve. But this surgery is far beyond what I can afford on my own. I wouldn’t be asking if I had any other choice.

I’m asking, from the bottom of my heart, for help, whether that’s a donation or simply sharing this page. Every little bit brings her closer to getting the surgery she desperately needs.

Please help me give her the chance to keep living the life she loves.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us fight this.

I will keep you updated on everything,
