There isn’t anyone that knows me who doesn’t know Songo. Everyone knows he’s the bedrock to my life regardless of what I joke about him and his old age. So it’s hard to imagine me without him in some shape or form.

What I thought was his age finally catching up to him was far from it. Monday morning he got up from his bed and collapsed in front of my bedroom door still responsive but looked like he just gave up. Rushed him to the emergency hospital and found out he was anemic due to a mass found in his stomach. After a 4 hour blood transfusion and ultrasound it was determined that his best chance for a 2nd 3rd or even 4th life at this point is surgery to remove the mass.

I know I may never see myself reaching my goal

to cover all his expenses… but I know every little bit helps to offset something. I’m in literal tears typing this asking for help or favors to keep this piece of my life alive for a little longer. Most of you know how prideful and at times stubborn I can be when asking for help but i’m willing to take that hit this one time to let Songo see another full life.
