Will You Be Mario's Hero?
Tax deductible
Mario, the beloved pig who was allowed to live because former pig farmer Bob Comis saw him as "the kindest pig," is home after receiving life-saving surgery to remove an infected toe. He's happy and relaxed in his deep bed of straw...and the real work has begun!
Mario has been able to live a very full life since he's arrived home! Exploring his pasture, playing in the mud and spending time with his friends Ginger and Amelia. To keep Mario walking comfortably for years to come he needs a little extra support and we are working with a prosthetic to make sure he has just that. The first prosthetic didn't fit quite right so we are doing a second casting and should hopefully have the newest one in a few weeks!
Donations from all sources, including GoFundMe, took a big bite out of the Cornell surgery bill, but we sure could use help with upcoming unbudgeted expenses.
Will you help "the kindest pig" ensure that he can live a normal pig life, where he can roll in the mud, root in pastures, and play with his friends.
Remaining costs:
- $1000 for his prosthetic
- $3,500 for after-care, including frequent follow-up vet visits
- ???? There are definitely more costs, but those would be meds, etc. I shifted $1000 to the after care, but we need to find a way to make up for the additional difference from the original estimate for the prosthetic or reduce the amount of the goal.
From Mario's many friends, THANK YOU!
