 My name is Elis Rivas, and I am desperately asking for your help to save my baby, Toby.
</div>
<div>
 In 2023, I rescued Toby from Miami-Dade Animal Services. He was previously known as "Boeing" and had been confined at the Medley shelter. I gave him a second chance at life, a loving home, and a family. Now, I'm terrified of losing him.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Recently, Toby and I moved from Miami to Ocala, Florida, hoping for a fresh start and a better financial situation. Miami had become extremely expensive, and I was doing everything possible to build a more stable life for us.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Unfortunately, just as we were beginning this new chapter, Toby started experiencing a terrifying medical emergency. TOBY NEEDS IMMEDIATE VETERINARY CARE! Toby has been vomiting white foam, whining in pain, and passing alarming amounts of liquid blood instead of normal stool. Watching my baby suffer without knowing what's happening to him is absolutely heartbreaking.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am rushing Toby to OnPoint Veterinary Urgent Care in Ocala, but I am facing a devastating financial situation. After our recent move, I barely have enough money to cover his initial consultation, let alone the additional medical care he may desperately need.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Depending on the veterinarian's findings, Toby may require:
</div>
<div>
 Emergency veterinary examination and treatment
</div>
<div>
 Blood work to determine what's causing his symptoms
</div>
<div>
 X-rays and potentially an ultrasound
</div>
<div>
 Medication, hospitalization, or additional lifesaving treatment
</div>
<div>
 I don't know what his diagnosis will be or how expensive his treatment may become. All I know is that Toby needs medical attention immediately, and I cannot afford to do this alone.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I'M BEGGING MY COMMUNITY FOR HELP.
</div>
<div>
 I rescued Toby to give him the life he deserved. He is my family, my companion, and my responsibility. It breaks my heart to be in a position where finances could stand between him and the medical care he needs.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I'm asking everyone who comes across this fundraiser to please consider donating. Whether it's $5, $10, $20, or whatever you can spare, every single dollar will go toward helping Toby receive veterinary care.
