PLEASE HELP SAVE REGGIES LIFE
Donation protected
This is not an easy post. But here goes, this is to my friends and family who most of you know my baby lil reggie, we have just found out he has to have another life saving procedure which will cost $5000. Reggie has paralysis of the laryngeal, what comes next with paralysis is the laryngeal collapsing, which will crush his air ways completely and suffocate him to death within minutes. Problem is I give 100% of my time to my animal rescue I started Nearly 2 years and we have saved and rehomed over 600 animals on Deathrow . I don't get any Centrelink payments or wage and have absolutely no income what so ever due to having to work full time on the charity for it to survive, and now ultimately this is costing my boy his life.
Reggie has had his soft pallet operation at 12months of age which cost us $3000, and two other procedures to do with his eyes and nose which cost a further $2000. Reggie was bought from a registered breeder and I did a lot of research on the breed but had no idea till reggie was part of my family just how much these breeds struggle, it breaks my heart, I have learnt that breeds like reggie are cruelly breed and the Heath issues they have are disgustingly unfair on the individually pup, but he is my baby and deserves the last operation he needs to live a full life.
Making no income at all, I can't afford the procedure. This is a hard post for me to write as When I'm raising money it's always for the rescue and our animals, I contemplated not writing it but then thought of my boy and me physically not being able to afford what he needs to live and couldn't think of any other way, all my savings have gone into saving our rescue animals, I can rescue so many other animals but not my own baby. So this post is asking for help in raising the money needed to save his life. My boy is the most amazing little man, he is only three years old and full of life, he has his whole life ahead of him, he loves nothing more then running and playing with his big beautiful smile, but unfortunately with his condition I have to lock him inside while the other dogs go for a run and play, if he runs for more then 5mins he gasps for air then vomits up to 10 times in one hit, he also struggles to put weight on, the specialist explained that breathing for him is a chore, similar for us humans if we went to the top of Mount Everest, we would have to force our breathing instead of it coming naturally, this is what he goes through every day with every breath. Without surgery reggie will die in a horrible way, this post isn't for me it's for my boy, I don't want my boy to suffer and go without because of my choices to run rescue, if this was a rescue baby I could fundraise and we could save him, but I want him to have a chance at life as they do. Please help save his life, he is my world and he is the most perfect little guy. If everyone could donate even a $1 it all Add's up. Please help give the same care and chance he deserves
