My dog Olive needs intensive spinal surgery in order to walk again after a horrible car accident that involved my parents. A person sped through a red light, and caused a serious accident, leaving my parents in the hospital for the night and Olive in critical condition. Her vet bills and expenses are extensive. I need all the help I can get to keep her alive and well. 

For those who know me, Olive is a part of who I am. This angel entered my life and has followed me on trains, planes and motorcyles all over America. Words do not describe the impact that she has had on my life and those who know her. This dog carries the true essence of unconditional love with her wherever she goes. There is no kinder animal, to people and to other animals. Her soul is here to love. 

For those who don't know me, my dog is a 7 pound Maltese Yorkie that steals your heart upon contact. She has an energy that brings smiles and love into any situation. I do not overexaggerate, she is a healer of hearts. 

That is why my heart is reaching out to yours. 

The fact that this dog has had my back through all my life's ups and downs is incredible, now I am asking you to help me have her back. 

The vet bill is financially crushing to me and my family, but the choice was simple ... keep her alive and well, assuring that she can have a quality of life after this accident is all I care about. 

I am asking, vulnerably, for you to help me cover this bill. Your donation can be small or even a few dollars, and I will use it solely to pay off Olive's vet bill of $9,000. 

She is in surgery right now, and expected to be out of the vet hospital in 5 days. 

If you cannot make a monetary donation, I simply ask for a prayer. Thank you.
