Our beloved dog Etta, only 7 years old, is suddenly facing serious health problems, and I am asking for help to cover her urgent veterinary costs.

Etta is more than a pet, She is a member of our little family and the very best friend of my 8-year-old daughter. Over the past few years, they have formed an incredible bond, and my daughter truly loves Etta like a sibling. Right now, she does not yet know how serious Etta’s condition may be, and I am doing everything I can to stay strong for both of them.

Etta has already needed veterinary examinations and blood tests, and the next urgent step is scans and further treatment to determine what is wrong and give her the best chance of recovery.

I am a single mother and currently between jobs, with my new position beginning next month. Because of this, my savings have been depleted, and this unexpected medical emergency has come at the worst possible time financially.

If you know our family, I kindly ask that you please not mention this to my daughter yet, as I am waiting to know more before having that conversation with her.

Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Etta’s medical care, tests, treatment, and recovery. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for helping Etta and our little family through this difficult time.

With love,

Melissa, Etta and Irja
