My name is Alfonso. I am 18 years old, currently in college, and I'm raising money for my dog Runt who is 9 years old to get gallbladder stones removed from his body, which is causing a lot of pain. He is living on medication to keep the pain away. With this surgery, the pain would finally leave, and he wouldn't need to be on medication anymore. The medication is very expensive, and all the vet bills are adding up. My family and I would love and appreciate additional support for my dog to finally beat what has been causing my family and him a lot of pain for about a month now. We recently lost my other dog in late November 2024 and we do not want to lose another member of our family.
