Help Sebastian Breathe Again: Trachea Surgery for a Beloved Companion

My name is Cassandra Hernandez and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and hopeful spirit. My sister’s beloved Pomeranian, Sebastian, urgently needs life-saving trachea surgery.

Sebastian is more than just a pet — he’s family. At 8 years old, he has been a constant source of love, laughter, and emotional support, especially for my sister, In the darkest moments, Sebastian has been her light — cuddling close during sleepless nights, offering comfort with his playful spirit, and simply being there when she needed it most.

Recently, Sebastian began having severe breathing issues. After several vet visits and tests, he was diagnosed with tracheal collapse, a condition that makes it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. His only hope for a healthy, pain-free life is a specialized surgery — and it’s urgent.

The estimated cost for the surgery, post-op care, and medications is currently reaching close to $16k. Unfortunately, this unexpected financial burden is more than we can bear alone. That’s why we’re turning to our community — to kind souls like you — for help.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving Sebastian the care he needs. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Your support means the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us give Sebastian the chance to keep breathing, loving, and supporting my sister — just as he always has.

With gratitude,
Cassandra and Hernandez family
