Support Emily Through Heartbreak and Healing

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Salina, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my friend Emily. To know her is to love her and she has just endured the unimaginable.

Only days ago, her mother was tragically killed in a devastating car accident. Her mom was her world— her rock, and her greatest support. The loss has shattered and transformed her life in ways that words can’t fully describe.

Amidst this grief and confusion, she’s now facing another heartbreak all in the same week: her beloved pup Ellie, who has been her emotional support companion in every walk of life and especially right now, has been diagnosed with a rapidly growing and invasive tumor. There is no evidence of metastasis, however, the quicker it is removed, the better chance she has at living longer.

Emily was originally going to opt out of surgery, as she just couldn’t afford it, but now because of her mom passing, she is fighting to keep Ellie alive. Emily needs her dog to get her through this next painful chapter of her life. Emily is afraid to lose two of her most beloved beings back-to-back. We can help alleviate some of this.
We’re trying to raise $5000 to cover the cost of the emergency vet care, post-op treatment, necessary medications and any additional costs incurred from the passing of her mom. Every single dollar helps, and even if you can’t give, just simply sharing this page could make all the difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for helping her hold on to the best friend she has left in this heartbreaking time.

With love,
Salina
