For anyone who knows me and my family, you know that Melo means the world to us. He's been the most important thing to us for the almost last 3 years since we adopted him and we would do anything for him

Recently, we noticed he was licking at his hind paw a lot and after a visit to the vet, they performed an x-ray and found out he was missing a digit in the toe he's been licking. I was given the option to send that information to a radiologist but informed them I could not afford it the vet posted his x-ray to a veterinary message board and was contacted by a radiologist informing the vet that Melo has cancer and the best thing would be to amputate his little toe before the cancer spreads. It has not reached his heart or his organs so now is the best time to amputate.

Additionally, Melo needs some dental work done. They found an infection in his teeth and needs some teeth extracted. All of this has taken an incredibly heavy toll on my family. I'm unemployed at the moment and can't afford his medical bills.

I'm begging you to please donate anything you can and help share this fundraiser. I do not intend to take a cent of your donations for my personal funds, I only want to help Melo.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and thank you for your donations.
