This Good Girl Leia

Hello, my name is Chase, my family and I are launching this fundraiser for our beloved dog, Leia. She is 8 years old (9 in July) and generally healthy. Recently, she underwent dental surgery where they had to remove 22 of her teeth. Just last month, we took her to the vet for a different issue after noticing a lump on her throat. The vet conducted tests and mentioned it could either be a normal abscess that can be removed or possibly cancer. They performed a fine needle aspiration, but they still couldn't determine what it is. She was eating normally, but now she refuses to eat anything due to the lump on her throat. All we want is for our baby to eat again; we just need answers about her condition. I'm trying to raise funds for her surgery, but I'm only 17, saving for university while juggling two jobs. My mom is also working two jobs, and my dad is putting in extra hours including traveling for work. It's challenging, with the cost of living being so high and my parents have already paid $6,000 dollars out of pocket to Leia’s care, but they are at the point now where they need to decide on Leia's life or ours which is the worst and tearing us apart. Any assistance we can receive would be incredible, whether it's a donation or simply sharing her story, it would make a significant difference. Thank you for taking the time to read about Leia and helping our family.
