Hello Family and Friends

This is Hercules, my 5-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix — and my little hero. We rescued him when he was just 4 weeks old, but honestly, he’s rescued my Family more times than I can count.

Hercules came into my life when I needed him most. Through every challenge — from my own health battles with cancer, surgery, Lupus, and even the loss of my dad — he’s been there with his big button eyes, gentle cuddles, and endless love. He’s truly been my little hero, always by my side reminding me what unconditional love looks like.

A few weeks ago, I discovered a small lump on his body. The vet advised me to monitor it, but in just four short weeks, it grew four times in size. After further testing, we got the heartbreaking news that it’s malignant and needs to be removed right away. The cost of his surgery is $1,500, and while I wish I could cover it all on my own, things have been tough — and I’m humbly asking for help.

Hercules has always been my rock, my support system, and my best friend. Now, he’s the one who needs us to get through this. I have faith that with your kindness and prayers, he’ll soon be back to his happy, loving self.

Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to us. Even if you can’t give, please share this page to help us reach others who might be able to. From the bottom of my heart — thank you for helping give Hercules the chance to keep shining his love and light for many more years.

With gratitude,

Grado Girls & Hercules
