It is with heavy hearts that we share the story of Chico, a beloved member of the Martinez's family, who crossed the rainbow bridge on June 11th. At just nine years old, Chico faced a sudden and severe health crisis due to kidney stones. Despite the family’s deep love and commitment to his care, the family had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go during surgery to prevent further suffering.
The surgery revealed an overwhelming number of kidney stones—eight in his urethra alone—and while it brought clarity, it also brought an unplanned financial burden. The family now faces over $3,000 in veterinary bills for the procedure, even though it couldn’t save their cherished companion.
Chico brought so much joy and love to everyone who knew him, and he will be dearly missed. To honor his memory and ease the financial strain on Sarah and her family, we are reaching out to ask for your support.
Every little bit helps, and your generosity will make a significant difference in lightening their load during this challenging time. Whether you can donate or simply share this fundraiser with others, Sarah deeply appreciates your kindness and compassion.
Let’s come together to show our support for this wonderful family as they navigate their grief and financial hardship. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
