My name is Aiden Do, and I'm 16 years old. I never imagined I’d be here, sharing this with you. Bruno was my mom’s dog, and when she passed away from breast cancer in 2022, he became my only connection to her. I promised her that I would take care of Bruno, that I would always keep him safe, because he's all I have left of her.

Bruno means the world to me. He’s been my source of comfort through the hardest times, and I can’t bear to see him suffer. Just watching him in pain breaks my heart every single day.

My dad was never there for us, not even when my mom was sick. After she passed, I moved in with my aunt. My family struggles just to get by. We’re barely able to feed ourselves, let alone cover the cost of a surgery that Bruno desperately needs. I'm only student who can't work yet, so I have no source of income. The vet says that Bruno has Traumatic Proptosis and it’ll cost over $2,000 for the surgery to save him. I don’t know how as or my family are supposed to come up with that money.

I’m asking, from the bottom of my heart, if anyone can help. Bruno’s suffering has gone on long enough, and I don’t want to lose my last connection to my mom. Every dollar counts. Please, help me save my dog. He’s all I have left, and I can’t do this alone.
