Taco

Hi, my name is Marta, and I'm raising funds for my beloved chihuahua, Taco. Before Taco, I had another wonderful chihuahua mix named Andy, who was with me for 14 years. Because I've struggled with PTSD and depression since I was young, dogs have been incredibly helpful, especially with my anxiety and nightmares. Taco even wakes me up. I was without a dog for a while due to illness, but my daughter asked if I wanted a chihuahua, a boy named Taco. He had been abandoned by his family, but thankfully, someone heard him. Taco didn't have an easy life before I took him in, and I knew the moment I saw him that he was mine. He finally had a loving home. My daughter jokes that he's spoiled; he's very protective of me. Unfortunately, I recently learned that Taco has congestive heart failure; he has an appointment on May 26th. While I was able to cover the cost of his cardiac assessment, the necessary dental procedure is too expensive for me. The total cost is $600.00. I was able to get a grant for 200.00 The balance left is 400.00 dollars. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide towards Taco's dental treatment. I am receiving care for him at The Tufts at Tech community veterinary clinic in Worcester, MA. Thank you, Taco and Marta

My name is Marta Sanchez, and I have a Chihuahua named Taco. After losing my dog Andy, who was with me for 14 years, I was deeply affected and struggled with PTSD and depression. My daughter Erica, who lives downstairs, adopted a dog named Lucy, and through her, I was introduced to Taco. At first, I wasn't ready to take in another dog, but Erica brought Taco home, and caring for him helped me heal. Over time, I developed a strong bond with Taco, and Erica offered him to me. Unfortunately, I had to retire early due to health issues, which has made finances tight. Taco needs a cardiac assessment and dental work because he has a heart murmur. I managed to pay for his cardiac ultrasound, but the dental procedure is more than I can afford. The treatment is at Tufts At Tech Community Veterinary Clinic in Worcester, MA. I was able to secure a grant, but I am still short of what is needed for his dental care. Any support for Taco’s dental treatment would mean the world to me. Your kindness will help him stay healthy and comfortable, and I am so grateful for your consideration.
