Gemma is the sweet rescue who was run over by an electric bike and left on the street for 4 days. A metal plate was placed in her leg to save it. Since then, she has grown from 30 lbs to 50 lbs, and the hardware that once helped her heal is now harming her.

Last month, Gemma re-injured the same leg, and she now has visible swelling and irritation around the area. After examining her, the vet has recommended immediate plate removal to prevent worsening pain, infection, and permanent damage.

The surgery alone costs $1,500, and she will also need four recasting visits after surgery to support proper healing.

Despite everything, Gemma is still loving, playful, and full of spirit. I’m doing everything I can for her, but I can’t do it alone. Any donation or share helps give Gemma a real chance at a pain-free, healthy life.

Thank you for supporting her second chance
