I avoided doing this because I know everyone struggles and asking for money or help felt wrong. It still feels wrong, but financially we need the help. We are burnt out.

My heart is heavy.

My kids feel lost and confused.

All 3 kids have birthdays coming..jasiah in April,cali in May and Miles in june. We are left broke and broken..each kid is wondering if it will be around their birthday when he passes, affording gifts will be a struggle, expecially when all they want is their dog.

Busters 7th b day is also in june. We spent over $6000 just trying to figure out what was wrong and using any credit card to do the testing we could.

The diagnosis has left a hole in our family and debt in our pocket.

Buster has osteosarcoma, bone cancer. He has a large tumor in his right ankle that gets bigger by the day, he has lost over 20pounds and this type of cancer is very aggressive..usually spreads to the lungs within a month or 2 and he was misdiagnosed more than once. He is in alot of pain and hopping on 3 legs. Things are not looking good and it feels like we are watching Buster waste away..

He still wags his tail and always stays by a family member. He is still happy hopping on 3 legs..and somehow extremely fast.

He is not just a dog. He is our baby, our family..he was part of our new beginning.

Our family has been through alot the past couple years and it feels like the hits keep coming.

I have a 24/7 job, a house, pets and kids to care for feed and teach. I homeschool all my kids and i dont have any money coming in..we have alot of medical bills...

To amputate it will cost $8000 and that could save him 5mnths or so according to statistics. If we add agressive chemo it will be an ongoing cost and could keep the cancer down for 1year or more..statistics say 9 to 12 mnths for most dogs but some have lived up to 8 years. If we do nothing and keep him on pain management it's $1000 or more to keep him comfortable as he goes and for euthanasia and cremation it's also going to be around an additional $1000 because he is a giant. Currently we are going to the vet often and giving him pain medication.

Financially none of this seems possible,but we are going to do what we can for him and the goal is to keep him comfortable and not to put him through more than he can take..or cause us to lose everything.

I am asking for donations to help us through this...even getting a little could atleast help us pay some of what we owe off..I know we all have struggles and mostly no one speaks up or when they do no one listens, so honestly, even if you took the time to read this I greatly appreciate you! And Thank you for listening to a small peice of my story.
