Hi there everyone! My name is Addie Thomas and I am a 25 year old artist and performer in NYC. I am reaching out for help because I have nowhere else to turn. My sweet 6 year old girl, Nala, is needing dental work to fix her severe dental disease and now a root abscess. She is the light of my life, who I look forward to every single day, and who I sleep in bed with. I would truly lay down my life for hers. This dental disease she struggles with is 2.5x more common in Chihuahuas and is something I have been trying for years to handle/manage, but it has come to a point where she will probably need multiple teeth pulled at the very least.

Until very recently, I was also only working a part time job, being recently let go of a job I cherished beforehand. It is definitely an intense time of struggle for me, as much as I hate to admit it, and I need help.

The overall cost of her surgery and post op needs is looking to be within a price range I am not remotely able to cover at this time. I have exhausted all other options and now I am looking to my friends, family, and community to help me. Truly, anything you could donate at all would be incredibly helpful and life changing. I appreciate any and all support from my people, thank you all truly. If you know of any resources that could help as well, please don't be afraid to reach out to me. Thank you again yall, truly.
