<div>Bruno was diagnosed with IMHA (immune-mediated hemolytic anemia) and has been through a very scary hospitalization.
</div>
<div>By God’s grace, he is now out of the hospital and responding to treatment.
</div>
<div>However, his recovery requires frequent blood tests, expensive medications, and possible future hospitalizations.
</div>
<div>We created this GoFundMe to be able to continue his treatment and give him the chance to fully recover.
</div>
<div>Bruno is the love of my life, and I can’t let money be the reason I give up on him.
</div>
<div>Thank you for any support from the bottom of our hearts.
</div>

Help Bruno Fight IMHA – Support His Recovery

<p>Haven Watch began by showing up at the gate. When people were being released from ICE detention in Minnesota with nothing and no one waiting for them, our volunteers were there in orange vests, in the cold, making sure no one walked out alone.
</p><br />
<p>That commitment has not changed. Our work, however, has grown far beyond the gate.
</p><br />
<p>Today, Haven Watch provides ongoing care and support to immigrants and families across Minnesota impacted by ICE operations. We serve people at every stage of this crisis, from those living under the threat of enforcement, to families torn apart by detention and deportation, to communities trying to rebuild. The trauma does not end when someone is released. It follows families home, where they face lost income, housing instability, urgent legal needs, and a road back that feels impossible.
</p><br />
<p>Your donation helps fund attorney fees that give families a fighting chance to stay together. It helps cover rent, utilities, food, transportation, emergency lodging, education support, and other critical care for people facing devastating circumstances.
</p><br />
<p>This work is urgent, and it is expensive. Every gift helps us respond quickly and provide the support people need when they need it most.
</p><br />
<p>No one should face this alone.
</p>

Haven Watch MN – Support at the gate, care beyond it

Hi, my name is Karin Hendricks and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friend Anne Schmitt and Mary Johnson, for their beloved 10-month-old Airedale puppy, Elliot Schmitt. Elliot recently experienced a life-threatening emergency after ingesting part of his crate rug, which required immediate surgery. After bravely making it through the first surgery, everyone was hopeful he was on the road to recovery. Sadly, he developed a serious complication that required a second emergency surgery. 
<br>
<br>
 Elliot is currently receiving specialized care at Metropolitan Veterinary Specialist and Emergency Service, where the veterinary team is doing everything to help him heal. Two emergency surgeries, hospitalization, medications, and ongoing monitoring have resulted in overwhelming veterinary expenses. Anne and Mary are devoted to Elliot and are doing everything possible to give him the best chance at a healthy future, but the financial burden has become very heavy. At just 10 months old, this sweet Airedale puppy is full of life, love, and a big personality. He brings joy to Anne and Mary and to everyone who meets him. 
<br>
<br>
 We are asking for help to cover emergency surgical procedures, hospitalization and monitoring, medications, and follow-up care. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean so much. If you would prefer to donate directly to the clinic, contributions can be made by contacting Metropolitan Veterinary Specialist and Emergency Service at (502) [phone redacted] and specifying that the donation is for Elliot Schmitt, owner Anne Schmitt account. Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers for Elliot's recovery. With gratitude, Karin Hendricks (on behalf of Anne Schmitt &amp; Mary Johnson)

Help Elliot Schmitt Recover from Emergency Surgery

<div>Setting up a GoFundMe is something that I never thought I would do, but with back to back unplanned vet expenses, here we go. Please consider donating to help us out financially with <strong>Liza’s hospitalization costs</strong>. Liza was hospitalized on 9/12 at MSU Veterinary Medical Center. This current situation was completely unexpected. Although we try to plan for such occurrences, we could surely use some financial assistance. <strong>Liza has been diagnosed with IMHA</strong>. She’s responding to treatment but needs to stay in the hospital for an undetermined time period. <strong>Any financial assistance would be greatly appreciated</strong>. Please consider donating to help us get Liza well and back home. Thanks bunches!!

<div>Radley was just diagnosed with Addisons disease. Addisons, also called ‘the great pretender,’ is a terrible disease in which the adrenal glands stop working. Diagnosing a dog with Addisons is very difficult, and often occurs during adrenal crisis. Such crisis are life threatening; the dog quickly goes into shock and can die within a matter of hours. It is not known exactly what causes Addison’s. While it is thought to be inherited, it can be brought on by trauma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Radley’s Addisons disease was most likely triggered by trauma. Early in January, Lesley fractured her knee and could not walk (or work) for two months. During this time, a neighbour volunteered to walk Radley. Totally unprovoked, a passing dog attacked Radley and tore away his eyelid. Radley went through emergency surgery to have his eyelid reattached. The owner of the other dog did not offer to pay anything toward the surgery or follow up care. Radley’s health has not been the same since the attack.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This week, Radley was finally diagnosed with Addison’s during an acute crisis, which brought him close to death. As Radley’s vet was away on holidays, Lesley first rushed Radley to an urgent care clinic in her home town and waited for them to open. They immediately made Radley their priority, and administered closely monitored IV fluids and steroid treatment. The vet was not sure if Radley would live through the next few hours. As that clinic was not open overnight, special arrangements were made for Lesley to drive Radley to a different 24 hour urgent care clinic in Guelph, Ontario, Canada; two hours away from home. It was still unsure if Radley would live. Lesley spent the night in her car outside the clinic, as she did not want to leave her baby boy, in case the unthinkable happened and he took a turn for the worse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Radley miraculously fought and pulled through that crisis and was released from the ER the following evening, but has since had relapses and has been re-hospitalized for fluids and bloodwork two more times - all of this in less than a week. Addison’s is not curable, but it is treatable. It is a tightrope of balancing medications.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All of us who have pulled together for each others’ Airedales know how fast vet bills add up. Lesley has often donated auction items to various Airedale rescues, and to those of us in need of extra monetary help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Radley has had over $5 thousand dollars in vet bills just this week, and there are more coming as he is in the vet’s office today for subQ fluids and more bloodwork, which will need to continue throughout his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The medications Radley will be on for the rest of his life to treat Addison’s are quite costly; starting at $2/3K per year, including medications and blood work. Radley is 7 yrs old. Hopefully, he will stabilize and he will live a long full life as many dogs with Addisons are able to do with the right care, attention, medications, and lots of love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, Lesley is an incredible dog mom, and not just to Radley. She adopted twelve/thirteen year old Molly a few years ago. Molly is an Airedale with multiple medical problems (immune disorder, chronic pancreatitis and accompanying liver failure). Lesley opened her heart and home to Molly, who is now a thriving, trusting, sweet Airedale. Radley and Molly are completely bonded siblings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lesley is a freelance artist (professional singer/actor/stage director) and voice clinician. She is in the process of rebuilding her career after covid, during which time all performances were canceled and she was forced to close down her studios. The past three years have brought overwhelming physical, emotional and financial stress for Lesley. Her fur and feather babies are her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everyone who meets Radley falls in love with him. He is a fighter and will do everything it takes to live a long life with his beloved sister, Molly, cousin Keet (the parrot) and his incredible mom, Lesley. Please consider helping Radley and Lesley during this most difficult time.

A fundraiser for a sweet Airedale named Radley

<div>Thank you for taking the time to hear about our sweet girl, Jackie O.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>On July 17th at about 8 pm, Jackie somehow managed to escape out of our very secure backyard and  was then hit by a speeding driver in our very quiet neighborhood.  All of our neighbors love and adore Jackie and heard her yelp and tires screech. Jackie was brought into the ER immediately after we found her covered in blood. Jackie was unable to walk and was in the ER the entire night in critical condition. Testing revealed no broken bones but multiple ligament tears in her rear left knee, along with pneumothorax (air in the chest cavity from being hit so hard) and elevated ALT. Our vet has advised us to wait until her wounds have healed to go along with surgery to have her ligaments repaired. <strong>We are eager to start crowdfunding sooner rather than later.</strong> Currently, our first choice is the orthopedic surgeon at Oregon State University. Our estimated surgery bill is between $6,500-$7,500 with at least a 75% deposit on the surgery date. We are currently waiting for our exact surgery quote and expect it to arrive this evening. Additional photo proof will be added as soon as we have it. We have already blown through emergency savings and are continuing to do so in order to care for Jackie. <strong>We are asking for our Airedale community to come together and help us give Jackie a chance.</strong> Jackie is just 20 days away from her 5th birthday. Otherwise, Jackie is the most healthy and happy dog.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Jackie is a task-trained service dog for myself, a pre-vet college student.</strong> Jackie attends all of my classes and is adored by my college community. She is supposed to see me through veterinarian school, but her future is currently jeopardized. Jackie has given me back my freedom after falling out of a 30ft window, which has resulted in aneurysms and other ailments that Jackie is trained to alert and care for. She has saved my life on numerous occasions, and I can only hope to do the same for her.


</div>

<div>If you wish to donate outside of GoFundMe, our Venmo and vet office will be linked below for direct contributions. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you share our story with friends and family.

Fighting for Jackie: Emergency Surgery Support

<div>Dear friends, animal lovers, and kind-hearted supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our beloved dog, Astro, has been through an unimaginable ordeal. Two weeks ago, Astro was the victim of a hit-and-run accident, leaving him with severe and traumatic injuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks to the incredible care provided by the team at Putnam Country SPCA and Guardian Veterinary Specialists in Brewster, NY, Astro underwent multiple life-saving surgeries and is now recovering at home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we are beyond grateful to have Astro back with us, the cost of his medical care has been overwhelming. His treatments, surgeries, and follow-up care have resulted in medical bills exceeding $35,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Astro has been a loyal and loving companion, bringing so much joy to everyone who meets him. He is resilient and fighting hard to heal, but we can’t do this alone. We are reaching out to ask for your support in helping us offset these unexpected and significant expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Astro’s medical bills and ongoing care as he continues his recovery journey. If you’re unable to contribute, sharing this campaign with others would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love for Astro during this challenging time. Your support is giving him a second chance at the happy life he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Parachico- Solis Family &amp; Astro
</div>

</div>
<div>————
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Queridos amigos,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestro amado perro, Astro, ha pasado por una experiencia inimaginable. Hace dos semanas, Astro fue víctima de un atropellamiento y abandono, lo que le dejó con lesiones graves y traumáticas tanto para el, y su familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias al increíble equipo del Guardian Veterinary Specialist en Brewster, NY, Astro se sometió a múltiples cirugías que le salvaron la vida y ahora se está recuperando en casa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aunque estamos profundamente agradecidos de tener a Astro de vuelta con nosotros, el costo de su atención médica ha sido abrumador. Sus tratamientos, cirugías y cuidados posteriores han generado facturas médicas que superan los $35,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Astro ha sido un compañero leal y amoroso, trayendo alegría a todos los que lo conocen. Es resiliente y está luchando con todas sus fuerzas para sanar, pero no podemos hacerlo solos. Les pedimos su apoyo para ayudarnos a cubrir estos gastos inesperados y significativos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada donación, por pequeña que sea, se destinará directamente a las facturas médicas de Astro y a su cuidado continuo mientras avanza en su recuperación. Si no pueden contribuir económicamente, compartir esta campaña con otros también sería de gran ayuda.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por su amabilidad, y que Dios bendiga y multiplique grandemente su generosidad y amor hacia Astro en este momento tan difícil. Su apoyo le está dando una segunda oportunidad para tener la vida feliz que se merece.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con gratitud,
</div>
<div>Familia Parachico- Solis y Astro

Help Astro Recover After a Hit-and-Run Accident

</div>
<div>On January 6th, 2021, a massive mob of violent insurrectionists staged a brutal attack on our nation’s Capitol. They were stopped, thanks to the <strong>brave First Responders who risked their lives</strong> and held the line. Former U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell is a humble, patriotic hero who now needs our help!
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>A proud immigrant and U.S. Army veteran who fought in Iraq, Sgt. Gonell <strong>courageously endured four hours of hand-to-hand combat</strong>. Vastly outnumbered, facing down the armed, frenzied mob, Gonell and his fellow officers took a terrible beating, shielding the elected officials and their staffs who had gathered to officially transfer power to a new Administration.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sgt. Gonell suffered <strong>serious, life-altering injuries</strong> from that day that have required years of intensive rehabilitation and help for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to his <strong>physical and emotional wounds</strong> from January 6th, Sgt. Gonell has been unable to provide for his family since that fateful day. Shockingly, even though he was repeatedly struck, hit with makeshift weapons, and sprayed with pepper spray and other substances, he was recently denied sufficient financial benefits. He would be grateful for your support as he continues toward healing.

Support Sgt. Aquilino Gonell-- a January 6th Hero & Survivor

<div>Many of you only know Stormy Daniels through the headlines; you’ve heard her described as a porn star, witness, victim, and villain. But as her friends, we would like to introduce you to the Stormy we know. Unlike much of the rest of the world, the descriptions we use to tell others about Stormy are mother, protector, advocate, equestrian, author, filmmaker, and friend. We often put "mother" first, not because that’s all she is, but because that particular job motivates everything else she does. As our friend, Stormy has fought an epic tale of David vs. Goliath, and we are the ones she has called, texted, and sought advice from. We have had front-row seats to the parts of this story that don’t fit neatly into click-bait headlines. You have gotten "Key witness in Trump case: a porn star," whereas those of us who really know her have seen the longer-running realities, like Stormy Daniels not knowing whether or not her family will have a home come August and calling us at midnight, tears in her eyes, trying to navigate a truly unprecedented situation.

We have also watched in horror as the justice system has continually failed our friend. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>One of the most powerful men in the world has been given every concession imaginable, while the misguided harlot is thrown to the side with a “thank you for your service” muttered under the breath of the collective conscience of our nation. We know that so many of you have wanted to support her but haven’t known how. Many of you have shown up in support at events, outside the courthouses, and sent thousands of emails sharing your gratitude for the sacrifices that Stormy has made to bring about justice and expose the tyranny happening in our nation. A day will come when all will be made right, but if history has taught us anything, sometimes those who sacrificed the most never get to see that day with us.

Stormy Daniels’ fight has just begun. Since the verdict was announced on May 30, 2024, she’s received countless death threats. The New York Post doxed her by leaking her home address, and the legal battles have just begun. It’s become unsafe for her family and her pets. Her horses have been shot twice now by protesters and even mainstream media paparazzi trying to provoke her out of her home. As if that’s not bad enough, Trump is still tangling her up in lawsuits in an effort to bleed her dry financially because his cult of minions will foot the bill for him to do so. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
<div><span> Recently, Stormy was sent discovery documents to aid in collection of the attorney fee judgment. It is standard practice to request a list of assets, accounts, property, etc. HOWEVER, the forms Stormy was given also required that she provide her minor child’s personal information including legal name, father’s address and more. This information is not only a violation of a child’s privacy but has the potential of becoming very real and immediate danger. In response to her own doxing and fearing for her daughter’s safety, Stormy declined to provide those details unless a confidentiality agreement was granted. The court denied her request and a motion to compel hearing scheduled. No mother should be forced to choose between protecting her innocent child and being held in contempt of court.</span><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It would be easy to fill this page with countless details, anecdotes, and newspaper articles, but this is a simple plea. If you are here reading this, you are likely on one of two sides of this issue: you are a gawker who is simply here to mock and ridicule, or you are here because you have been a long-time supporter of Stormy and you want to know what actionable steps you can take to make a difference. If you are the latter, we want to make that very simple for you. We aren’t publicists or lawyers, just concerned friends who want to keep someone we love safe, that’s it. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Stormy needs help to relocate her family to somewhere they can feel safe and live life on their terms. She needs assistance to be able to continue to pay the mounting court fees so that Trump doesn’t just win because his pocketbook seems endless. To date, Stormy has had to foot the bill for all of this, and it has depleted her resources and savings. There is currently a $600,000 judgment against Stormy for Trump’s legal fees from a case that was dismissed. This is a coded action in an attempt to make her family lose their house and face homelessness or worse. It’s paramount that we prevent this from happening! Each dollar we raise will be a validation that we also care about Stormy and are willing to continue this fight. Trump may have a mega fundraising operation to keep him from facing consequences, but that shouldn’t mean that Stormy becomes the sacrificial lamb of a corrupt system.

Despite all of these setbacks, Stormy has continued in this fight because she firmly believes in this country, its possibilities, and what we can accomplish together as a nation if we hold firm to the principles of democracy which are the bedrock of our Republic. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Upon the closing of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked by a woman named Elizabeth Willing Powel, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Our Republic does not stand purely on the ideals of democracy but was built upon a promise, one declared on July 4th, 1776, that all people, created equal, should have the right to “pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” If we allow Stormy, after choosing to stand up to the President of these United States, to lose her life, her liberty, or her happiness, then we have failed at the very foundational core of what this nation was built upon. Should we fail here, we fear, Doctor Franklin, that we have chosen now, some 250 years later, a monarchy.<br />

<div>Hi, I am Jen Rose and I am fundraising for my 5 month old Airedale puppy who is in the process of beginning his training to become my service dog. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjogrens Syndrome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My sweet five month old Airedale puppy, Oliver (AKA Ollie), ate a plastic bag clip, the kind used on things like bread and produce, and it perforated his bowel. Unfortunately, his intestines leaked into his abdominal cavity. He had emergency surgery and is now being treated to prevent sepsis. Currently his bills are estimated to be at least $7000.00, possibly higher.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I rescued Ollie on December 20th,
</div>
<div>2023 from deplorable
</div>
<div>conditions, so I’ve only had him for two months. I was excited to get him home with us where he would be clean, fed and warm. I'm a single mom with an adult autistic son living with me. We recently had medical bills for our elderly female
</div>
<div>Airedale so my CareCredit is almost maxed out. I had an emergency fund but it is now gone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re in a position to help me pay this unexpected bill for my dear little Ollie, I’ll appreciate more than you’ll ever know.
</div>

11 year old boy attacked by a pack of dogs

<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Friday, June 2, 2023, Ajike "Aj" Owens, a devoted and loving mother of four, was tragically and unjustifiably murdered in an attempt to protect her children from racism and violence. Her mother is now left to raise her grandchildren. AJ's story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary The Perfect Neighbor.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Happened to AJ:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ajike's children were playing in a field next to an Ocala apartment complex when an unidentified 58-year-old white woman reportedly began yelling at them and calling them racial slurs. The children left but accidentally left an iPad behind, which the woman took. When one of the children went to her residence to retrieve it, she threw it, hitting the boy and cracking the screen. After Ajike's children informed her of what happened, she walked across the street with her kids to speak with the woman. She knocked on the door, and at that point, the woman allegedly shot through the door, hitting Ajike, who later died from her injuries. The woman responsible has not yet been identified, arrested, or charged with anything by law enforcement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About AJ:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ajike Owens (affectionately known as AJ) graciously affected all she came into contact with her infectious personality. She had a smile that would light up the room. But most of all, she was known for how much she loved and absolutely lived for her four children. To say she loved her children unconditionally is an understatement. She was a single mother whose life centered around her children. She was the Team Mom for her children’s football/cheerleading teams. She excelled professionally as a manager in the Restaurant/Hospitality industry. She was a devoted Christian who believed in bringing her kids up in a supportive Christian environment. After being a devoted mother, she was a devoted friend that took friendships to heart. There wasn’t anything that she wouldn’t do for those near and dear to her heart. She often would give to other single mothers that were in similar situations that she’d been in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Donate to this cause to support funeral and memorial expenses for AJ. (Goal Met)
</div>
<div>2. Donate to contribute to AJ's children's education expenses.
</div>
<div>3. Donate to contribute to Housing and all other living expenses for the family.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Justice for AJ and So Many Others: The Fight to End Stand Your Ground: </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2023, we witnessed the shooting of Ralph Yarl and the killing of Kaylin Gillis as instances where the Stand Your Ground doctrine has emboldened individuals to use unnecessary violent force in the name of self-defense. This is yet another instance where the law could potentially come into play and erode justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>AJ's family has partnered with activists and national advocacy groups to effect change on a national scale.

<div><strong>Supporting Emine Yilmaz: Resilience, Recovery, and Creativity (March 14th, 2026)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nearly three years ago, my life changed in an instant after a tragic incident on the New York City subway that left me paralyzed with a severe spinal cord injury.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I woke up in the ICU after surgery, I had a feeding tube in my mouth and could barely move. Doctors later told me that my neck had been broken at the C4–C5 level and that I had undergone 14 hours of surgery to stabilize my spine. In that moment, everything about my life felt uncertain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before my injury, I worked as an artist and graphic designer, and creativity has always been at the center of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first year after my injury was incredibly difficult. With the care of my mother and sister, the support of friends, and a lot of determination, I slowly began the long process of recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past three years, through rehabilitation and several operations, I have reached meaningful milestones. Today I can use a computer again, return to my art, and manage small but important daily tasks like eating with one hand and brushing my teeth. Each of these steps represents many hours of therapy, patience, and hard work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The support I have received from this community has made a real difference in my life. Donations have helped cover essential expenses, including rent, groceries, medical needs, and adaptive tools that make daily life more accessible and independent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recovery from a spinal cord injury is a long journey. With continued support, I hope to keep moving forward with rehabilitation while creating a stable and accessible living environment that supports my independence and allows me to continue my creative work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this journey.

Help Emine's recovery from a Tragic Attack

<div><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Hi, my name is Shannon and I am fundraising for my sweet friend, cousin and dog sitter Marisa &amp; her Son, Riley.</span>
</div>
<div><font face="-apple-system-body"><span><br /></span></font><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Here is what happened to them:</span>

</div>

<div><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';"><br /></span>

</div>

<div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">On 2/6, During one of their recent pet transports, a semi-truck pulled out in front of them on a dark rural highway in west Texas and caused them to crash into his truck. The truck driver did not stop to help them. He fled the scene of the accident - leaving them for dead in the cold darkness.  Luckily, another truck driver had witnessed it and pulled over to help. He setup traffic cones and made sure they were not hit again while they waited on the highway for </span><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">first responders to arrive.</span>

</li>

<li><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';"> Riley was pinned in the drivers seat and unable to get out. First responders had to use the jaws of life to get him out. He was lifeflighted to the nearest trauma center, which was in Lubbock.</span>

</li>

<li><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';"> Marisa stayed on the scene to ensure the animals in the van were okay and then taken to the local shelter temporarily before she went to the hospital to be with her son and also get admitted and checked by doctors for her injuries.</span>

</li>

<li><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">By the grace of God, they were both able to walk out of hospital that afternoon, though they were both very battered, cut up and badly bruised. Had it not been for that sturdy van, they would have been killed. Had it not been for their attention to detail and extreme care in strapping down and securing of the pets kennels in the van, the pets would have all been killed as well.  They ALL survived.</span>

</li>

<li><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">After getting out of the hospital and spending two days resting at a local hotel, Riley and Marisa decided that despite their soreness and shock at what happened, that they wanted to finish the pet transport and get those animals home. They felt like the truck driver ruined everything, but he wouldn’t stop them from getting the animals home.  </span>

</li>

<li><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Their family and friends came together to support them, and they were able to get a temporary replacement vehicle to use. They picked up the dogs that were in the accident with them from the local shelter and then drove across the country, as originally planned, to deliver those sweet dogs to their destinations safely. They went at a much slower pace and had to stay at hotels every night due to their soreness etc. But - both dogs made it to their homes as promised. That was important to them to finish the transport! They did! No pets left behind!</span>

</li>

</ul><font face="-apple-system-body"><span><br /></span></font><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">After over 11 days of being on the road, dealing with the accident and getting all the dogs home safely, Marisa and Riley finally made it home themselves on 2/16. Over 4500 miles of driving…tails wagging and hearts open. They are happy to be home safe and ALIVE. However, they now face the reality of this unfortunate situation and the challenges to come over the next few months as they rebuild their lives and business. </span><br /><font face="-apple-system-body"><span><br />For those who know Marisa and her son, they already know how big their hearts are and their love for animals. They make their income by providing loving pet transport and reliable pet/house sitting services all over the United States. They started their family business with nothing and they have worked hard to get where they are now.  Last year, they saved up and bought a van so they could provide more space and comfort for the pets that they transport, as well as have a place to sleep during their trips to save money on hotels. Everything was going great and they put their hearts and souls into their work with animals. <br /><br /></span></font><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Their van was their main source of income, and it was completely destroyed. They have had to cancel several bookings and lost a lot of income over the next few months because of this. They need time to work with their attorney, insurance and the police to sort this all out. It’s not cut &amp; dry because it was a “hit &amp; run”. There is no one to be held accountable for them. There is no one to arrest and get justice for them because the truck driver that caused this ran away like a coward. It’s not right. </span><br /><font face="-apple-system-body"><span><br /></span></font><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">I started this Gofundme to help them have some funds to get through the next few months until they can get everything sorted out legally/financially and also buy a new van so they can get back to doing what they love - working with animals and helping pet owners have true peace of mind regarding their pets care. </span><br /><font face="-apple-system-body"><span><br /></span></font><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Please donate and share! Every single donation - big or small - will help Riley &amp; Marisa in the months to come. </span><br /><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Let’s get them back on the road!</span><br /><font face="-apple-system-body"><span><br /></span></font><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Thank you!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Shannon and Family</span>

Semitruck HIT & RUN. They need your help!

<div>Please read the various updates on the complications Winston encountered after his first and second surgery. Sleep peacefully my sweet boy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Angela. Our sweet Winston, 7 year Wire Fox Terrier (best boy ever!), underwent emergency exploratory surgery at 1am on 04/22/23 for an unknown foreign body obstruction. Winston was declining fast but, pulled through surgery with the obstruction found (grass… yes, grass), they removed 3 plus inches of intestines and another section tore by the sphincter which could not be removed and was sewn shut. Winston began to show signs of hiding pain, throwing up, and being bloated at approx. 7:45pm Friday. We immediately rushed him to the closest emergency vet and Winston has been at the ICU since. Unfortunately for little man, this is his second obstruction surgery (first was 4.5 years ago for 2 Queen palm fruit), he has a much tougher recovery and will be at the animal hospital a bit longer.
</div>
<div>The expenses are adding up very quickly and not stopping as new meds have been added and continued imaging is need on the section of intestine that could not be removed. We are not ones to ever ask for help. However, due to other family emergencies, we are in a bind.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time reading. Please send pawstive vibes for his continued healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div>Winston, Carlos, Angela, Thatcher (Airedale sister), and Neville (Airedale sister)

Winston Wire Fox Terrier Emergency  Medical Care

<div>Hi, my name is Anne and I’m fundraising for my precious Airedale’s final veterinary bill. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beautiful, sweet Ruby, my precious Airedale, had a surgical scar revision to remove cancer that was missed during her first surgery which was performed by her regular vet. The first surgery left “dirty” margins. This second procedure was recommended by a board certified veterinary oncologist and performed by a board certified veterinary surgeon at Upstate Vet in Asheville. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately Ruby had complications after her successful surgery. She aspirated Friday night night and developed aspiration pneumonia. She ran a high fever of 105° to 107° most of Friday night that finally was down to 101.7° on Saturday morning, February 25, 2023. And her blood gas had only been 89 on Friday night but was where is should be at 97 the next morning. Everything was looking so much better. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the afternoon of Saturday, February 25, 2023 she had a major aspiration that backed into her lungs and caused cardiac arrest. They tried CPR but it wasn’t successful. I was on the phone with the doctor while they tried to save her and I was able to talk to Ruby. My precious Ruby died while I was on the phone telling her how much I loved her. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can hardly believe she’s not here anymore. I was convinced I would be able to pick her up and bring her home Sunday. I’m absolutely devastated. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Within the last year and a half, I’ve lost my life partner of 23 years, Brian, and 2 Airedales, Buddy and Ruby. Brian died of lung cancer. Buddy died of spindle cell sarcoma. And Ruby had hemangiopericytoma surgery that lead to her cardiac arrest caused by post surgery aspiration, so in a way she died because of cancer, too. I hate cancer. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was such a good girl and such a delight to be with. I adopted her as an 8 year old and had the pleasure of her company for a little more than 13 months. I didn’t mind the approximately $6,000 I’ve paid in medical bills for her in 2022 prior to this most recent surgery in February 2023 because to me she was worth it. But this last $6,000 to $8,000 for my precious girl who died the afternoon of Saturday, February 25th is a bitter pill to swallow. I’ve asked the vet hospital to review the bill and reduce it. It didn’t sound hopeful. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ruby made me feel safe and I was never alone with her in my life. She was my best friend and a great protector. I’m basically a fearful person who is afraid to live alone and she seemed to know that about me. Anytime anyone came to my home, she charged the door barking and jumping at it. She kept me safe. She was my hero. I don’t know how I’m going to recover from losing this fabulous girl.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wish me luck as I am once again forced to travel this lonely journey of grief as I have no immediate family left to help with any emotional support. This is unbelievably difficult. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And thank you for reading this lengthy missive. If you decide to make any financial contribution, thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
</div>
