Support Delilah's Healing Journey
Donation protected
Dear friends and family,
It's with a heavy heart and a sense of vulnerability that we reach out to you today. We've always believed in facing life's challenges with courage, but when it comes to our dear Delilah, the challenges seem insurmountable.
Many of you have been there for us through thick and thin—supporting us when I battled Bladder Cancer, helping us make ends meet during tough times. Today, we find ourselves in a situation we never anticipated: creating a GoFundMe for our beloved girl, Delilah.
Delilah, our dog, our child, has been a source of joy and love for seven and a half years. She came into our lives after a difficult start, having faced abuse and confinement. Now, at almost 8 years old, she's grappling with a health crisis that's breaking our hearts.
It all started on December 11th when she began vomiting bile. Concerned, we contacted our vet, but the earliest appointment available was on December 29th. In the meantime, we tried a bland diet, but her condition worsened. By December 22nd, she stopped eating altogether. On Christmas, our fears intensified, leading us to the Emergency Vet.
The news was devastating—elevated liver enzymes and potential a mass on her liver that the vet team believes to be consistent with cancer. Delilah, our bundle of joy, is now scheduled for an ultrasound and other tests to determine the best course of action. Amidst this challenging time, we find ourselves grappling with a multitude of unanswered questions about Delilah's health, and there may be potential other diagnoses still in the future. The financial burden has been overwhelming; two ER vet visits have already cost us close to $4,000, and the expenses keep mounting
Why We Need Your Help: We're reaching out to our community for financial support—$6,000 is our goal. This will help cover the mounting medical bills, ensuring Delilah receives the care she needs while we navigate treatment options and understand the nature of the mass.
How You Can Help: If you find it in your hearts to contribute, no matter how small, we would be eternally grateful. Delilah is not just a pet; she's family, and we can't face this alone.
What Happens if We Exceed or Don't Reach Our Goal:
We want to be transparent about our fundraising efforts and assure you that any amount raised will go directly towards Delilah's medical expenses. If, by the grace of your generosity, we surpass our $6,000 goal, rest assured that every additional dollar will continue to support Delilah's ongoing care, including post-treatment and recovery.
Conversely, in the event that we do not reach our fundraising goal, please know that every contribution, regardless of the amount, is deeply appreciated. Your support means the world to us, and it will make a significant impact on Delilah's journey to recovery. We are committed to utilizing the funds responsibly and prioritizing her well-being above all else.
Your support means the world to us, and we'll keep you updated on Delilah's journey every step of the way. Thank you for being part of our extended family.
