Saving Ollie the Collies Life

Oliver Bleu

Born June 30, 2013

Hello, my name is Ollie, Best known as Ollie The Collie! When I was just 5 months of age, my Mommy and I began our Pet Therapy journey, and oh what fun we had. We met so many wonderful people. So many memories of walking down the hallways of that day's therapy Visit and hearing the voices, "here comes "Ollie the Collie". I brought much joy wherever I went. We visited nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, VA Centers, Memory Care Facilities, and onward we went! It was incredibly enriching and rewarding work for both Mommy and me. There are so many memories!

I’ve been very sick for the past several months having a hard time keeping my food down. After many tests, Dr. Katie says that I have gallbladder disease. Dr. Katie says I need my gallbladder removed as soon as possible or else I could die My mom is sick and lives on a fixed income. She’s had chemo & radiation for cancer and she just recovered from Covid a few months ago. In the midst of recovering from Covid, she was diagnosed with an abdominal severe infection and spent 11 days in the hospital. After spending money to find out what was wrong with me, mom is not able to afford the cost of my surgery. She feels very sad because she says that I was always there for her and that I gave her hope and a reason to live when she was very sick. But now she feels helpless because she cannot help me and pay for my surgery. So if anyone is able to help my mom & me, please donate whatever you are able towards my surgery. I just want to get back to feeling better so I can do the things I enjoy, like going for beach runs, taking long walks, and enjoying eating food again! Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
