Hi everyone,

This is incredibly hard for me to ask, but I’m hoping for a little help for my sweet Kiko baby who means the world to me and my family.

A few days ago, I noticed a small lump on her leg. Since then, it’s grown, and when I brought her to the vet yesterday, they told me it looks suspicious and needs to be surgically removed and biopsied as soon as possible. The initial cost for the surgery and biopsy is expected to be **around $1,200**, and depending on the results, Kiko may need additional treatment, medications, or follow-up care.

Anyone who knows me knows how much she means to me. She is my soul dog and I cannot imagine my life without her! I want to do everything I can to keep her healthy and comfortable, but with the urgency of the surgery it is unrealistic that I can come up with the money in time. It breaks my heart to even write this.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward Kiko’s surgery, biopsy, and any care she may need afterward. Anything left over will be donated to a local animal shelter. Even if you’re not able to donate, sharing this page means more than you know.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you’re able to give. It truly means the world to all of us
