Hi, my name is Adriana and I’m raising funds for my dog, Duquesa.

Duquesa is 9 years old and she has always been a happy, sweet, and active girl. Suddenly she became very sick, and the veterinarian told us she has fluid in her lungs, heart problems, and a tumor in her chest.

She was given medications that may only extend her life for a few months, but she urgently needs a biopsy and possible surgery. The cost is $4,000–$5,000, which my family and I simply cannot afford. When we found out, we all cried — Duquesa is like a daughter to me and a true member of our family.

Now she can barely bark or run because she struggles to breathe. I miss hearing her bark and seeing her play happily at the park. I just want to give her a chance and make sure she doesn’t suffer.

Any donation — big or small — would mean the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping Duquesa.
