Support Albus's Battle Against Cancer

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

In December of 2018, Riley proposed to me with an unforgettable surprise—our beloved dog, Albus. As Riley got down on one knee, a small, fluffy puppy bounded towards me with a tag that read, "He wants to know if you’ll say yes." That day marked the start of our family and the beginning of our new life together, with Albus as our constant companion.

Over the past five years, Albus has been more than just a pet; he’s been our rock, our comfort, and our happiness. He has celebrated our milestones, cuddled with us during quiet nights, and filled our home with endless laughter.

Recently, we took a significant step toward our dreams by purchasing two acres of beautiful family land. We envisioned Albus running freely, exploring our forever home, and enjoying the wide open space. Those dreams shattered when Albus was diagnosed with lymphoma. The news was devastating. Our playful, energetic boy is now facing a life-threatening illness, and the treatments required to fight this cancer are incredibly expensive.

To add to our heartache, Riley and I have been struggling with infertility. We've come to face the reality that the only "kids" we’ll ever have are our animals. Albus is more than a pet to us; he’s our family. The cost of his treatment is overwhelming, and we are reaching out to you, our community, for help.

We never imagined we'd be in a position where we need to ask for financial help, but Albus means the world to us and we want to do everything we can to help him. Chemotherapy and other medical interventions can prolong Albus's life, keeping him comfortable and giving us precious extra time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference.

Please help us give Albus the chance to live out his days in comfort. We are eternally grateful for your kindness and generosity.

With heartfelt thanks,

Thea and Riley
