Truman's Fight: Help Us Save Our Beloved Pup from Cancer

Donation protected

Hi there, I’m Evelyn, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. In just a few months, my beloved dog, Truman, has faced a battle that no one should have to endure: cancer. Watching my once playful and joyful pup suffer has been absolutely heartbreaking. But now, we’re on a mission to turn things around and save him!


It all began in June when a lump appeared on Truman’s snout. We rushed him to the vet, where antibiotics and pain meds were prescribed, but despite our hopes, the lump continued to grow. Soon, he started bleeding from his nose, sneezing up blood clots, and refusing to eat. The lively dog I knew transformed into a lethargic shadow of himself, retreating from our family and losing his joyful spirit. It was devastating to see him, once so full of life, barely wanting to go outside to sunbathe, a simple pleasure he once cherished.


In September, after another vet visit, we received the heartbreaking news: the tumor was cancerous, and treatment was essential to save Truman’s life. I felt lost, unsure of what to do next. But in a moment of despair, as I sat on the floor, I felt a soft nudge. It was Truman, resting his paw on me, looking up with those big, trusting eyes. It was as if he was telling me, “I’ll be okay.” In that moment, I knew I couldn’t give up on him.


Determined to help him, I spent the next two days researching. I revamped his diet, adding cancer-fighting fruits and vegetables, black seed oil, and various supplements. I ensured our home was safe for him, switching cleaning products and securing new medications. Slowly but surely, my efforts paid off. His nosebleeds lessened, his appetite returned, and he started engaging with us again. It felt like a small miracle.


But I knew we had to act quickly. A visit to the vet led us to BluePearl Pet Hospital, where they specialize in radiation therapy for tumors. They assured me that with timely treatment, there was hope for Truman. However, the reality hit hard: I needed to gather over $14,000 for his care.


I never imagined I would find myself in this position, asking for help to save his life. But to us, this isn’t just a financial burden; it’s a chance to have more time with a cherished family member. It’s about more cuddles during tough days, more beach outings filled with joy, and more laughter watching Truman be his silly self.


Rather than giving in to despair, we’re determined to fight for Truman. Time is crucial; we want to start his treatment as soon as possible to ensure the best chance of recovery. Your support means the world to us during this challenging time.


If you can contribute, no matter how small, it will make a significant difference. And please, share our story with your friends and family. Together, we can give Truman the fighting chance he deserves.


Thank you for taking the time to read about our journey. Your kindness and support truly mean everything to us. Let’s save Truman together!
