Hi everyone,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. I’m asking for help because my heart is breaking, and my girl Nike needs me now more than ever.

Meet nike my best friend, my shadow, and the one who has quietly carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life. She has been with me through tears, through loneliness, through days when I felt like I had nothing else but I always had her. And now she’s suffering in a way I can’t fix on my own.

Nike has an indolent, non-healing ulcer in her eye. I’ve watched it get worse despite every treatment, every medication, every long night of hoping and praying it would finally start to heal. Instead, the pain has only grown. She squints, she winces, and she tries so hard to hide how much it hurts because that’s who she is strong, gentle, and always trying to make me feel okay, even when she isn’t.

When the vets told me the only way to stop her pain was to remove her eye, I felt like my heart shattered. I don’t care what she looks like i just want her safe, comfortable, and here with me. But hearing that surgery is her only chance at relief… it’s something no pet parent ever wants to face.

Nike is already battling diabetes and she never complains about her shots, never fights me, just looks up with trust. Seeing that one of her eyes is now in pain every single moment… it breaks me in a way I can’t put into words.

I am doing everything in my power, but the cost of the surgery, medications, and follow-up care is more than I can handle alone. I feel helpless, and it breaks me to admit that I need help. but i can't let her suffer when there's a chance to make her life better

If you can donate even a dollar you’re helping give Nike the chance to enjoy life again. And if you can’t donate, sharing her story means the world to me.

Nike has given me every ounce of love she has years. I just want to see her enjoying life again.

Thank you truly for reading this, for caring about her, and for helping me fight for my girl. Your kindness means more to me than I could ever put into words.
