I am Ariane, a mother raising my 8-year-old child and the breadwinner for my family. For 17 years, I have worked, studied, and supported myself while building a better future for us. Along the way, I earned my Criminal Justice degree from Guam Community College, where I served in student government and later as President of the Student Government Association. I also earned my Associate's Degree in Paralegal Law Studies from Truckee Meadows Community College, completed an HR Management certificate from Cornell University, became a Nevada Notary Public, and now work as a legal assistant/paralegal in Reno. I am now just <strong>four classes away from graduating in December 2026</strong> with my Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a minor in Criminal Justice from the University of Nevada, Reno. My goal after graduation is to continue growing in the legal field and eventually take the Advanced Certified Paralegal exam. Balancing school, <strong>working</strong>, parenting, and helping support my family has not been easy, but I have kept going because finishing this degree means so much to me, my husband, my son, and family. 
<br>
<br>
 Unexpected expenses and changes in financial aid have made it very difficult for me to reach that December 2026 graduation goal. UNR awarded me a $1,000 grant, but I still have about $4,767.08 in remaining tuition, textbook, and school material costs. I have reached the limit of my federal aid and have also explored private loans, but I have been unable to qualify. <strong>Asking for help is not typical for me</strong>, and I have done everything I can to avoid this. I have exhausted every avenue available to me, and I cannot cover these costs on my own. I am not giving up. I am simply asking for help so financial hardship does not stop me when I am this close to the finish line. 
<br>
<br>
 Helping others has always been important to me. I serve as a board member at my child's school, and through my experience in the legal field, I have volunteered my time helping people better understand court paperwork and procedures when they feel overwhelmed. If you are able to support my fundraiser, your generosity will help me stay enrolled, complete my last four classes, and graduate in December 2026. If you cannot donate, sharing my fundraiser would also mean so much. Thank you for reading my story, believing in me, and helping my family take this final step forward.

Help Ariane Graduate in December 2026

I’m sure everyone has seen this story of mine all over social media if I’m going to get bullied for it I might as well get help I was at home with my children, just got my daughter off the bus, and I had a seizure while eating a cupcake. During my seizure I was attacked by our family dog of 4 years. He was a pitbull but there wasn't any aggression towards anyone at anytime before this had happened, and even afterwards when animal control arrived he wasn't aggressive.
Once I became conscious again, I called my husband and he had his parents and 911 meet him here. I stayed conscious up until we got to the actual hospital where they put me under for emergency surgery. I am missing my lips, one whole cheek and part of another, the bottom part of my nose, and one of my ears is very mangled and cannot hear out of it at this time.
Recovery - I got a skin graft off of my thigh and was sent home for it to heal. I will have dozens of more cosmetic surgeries and eventually a lip and lower nose transplant once that becomes available but I just need help coming up with the funds anything will help my kids are scared to come near me even look at me I can’t take it anymore.

Help with nose transplant surgery

<div>My name is Barbara, and I was unexpectedly attacked by a dog. One moment I was helping my family in a time of need and the next I was bend forward trying to hide my face from a bunch of kids to not see the amount of blood coming from my face. The bite caused serious damages to my face, leaving me with stitches, swelling, bruising and so much emotional trauma. The doctors told me that I would need to go through a lot of different procedures and many many appointments. Also I would have to act fast they also told me that I would need multiple different plastic surgery procedures to repair the damaged prevent permanent scarring. At first my insurance has been helping for the most part which was very helpful and such a relief. But now my insurance has stopped covering the procedures I still desperately need. These procedures are not about cosmetics, but to help heal the layers of skin and flesh I lost. any donations _big or small_ will go directly towards my procedures and recovery. Even sharing this fundraiser means so much and is already hard enough, but every act of kindness helps bring me one step closer to healing and feeling whole again! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, for caring, and for the help to get me on the road to recovery! It truly means a lot to me !

Help me after a traumatic dog bite

Mark, my lifelong friend and former spouse, has always been someone I could count on. We were married for 25 years, and even though life took us in different directions, our bond never faded. We remain partners in spirit, standing together when it matters most. Now, Mark needs me more than ever, and I am here to support him through this difficult chapter. 
<br>
<br>
 Recently, Mark was bitten by his dog while trying to feed them. The injuries to his feet and hands were serious, and he was taken to the hospital. Although he was discharged the same day, his wounds worsened over the next few days. When the ambulance was called, Mark was admitted to the hospital and told that waiting any longer could have been fatal. The dog bites had become severely infected, and Mark’s diabetes made the situation even more dangerous. He had to undergo a transmetatarsal amputation on his right foot, while his left foot was also bitten but not as severely. Mark cannot return to his current residence, which is unsafe and unfit for recovery. 
<br>
<br>
 Family, friends, and loved ones are searching for a new home for Mark, but he needs help to rebuild his life. The funds raised will go toward medical needs, out-of-pocket medicine costs, a deposit for a safe place to live, and household essentials like a bed. Everything would be greatly appreciated—your prayers and support will help Mark as he attempts to overcome this life-changing situation and start a new chapter.

A Dog Bit Me in the Balls—Help Us Both Recover 
<br>
<br>
 While knocking doors for solar on Oahu, I approached a home and was unexpectedly attacked by a dog that escaped through the doorway. Because I was standing lower on the stairs, the dog selected the worst conceivable target. It bit me directly in the plums. I eventually persuaded it to release me by putting my hand in its mouth—an unusual negotiating technique, but an effective one. The homeowner immediately helped and was genuinely kind about the whole ordeal. Later, I discovered that the bite had left two small punctures in my scrotum, some bleeding, and a temporarily swollen and tender testicle. Fortunately, everything appears to be healing, and no important machinery seems to have fallen out. 
<br>
<br>
 I don’t intend to sue the homeowner or seek revenge upon the dog. My friend Todd offered a more constructive proposal: $250 for my pain and suffering. $250 for snacks to help the dog reconsider its life choices. That sounded fair. This is partly a real fundraiser and partly an attempt to extract something cheerful from an extremely unfortunate encounter. Any money designated for the dog will actually be spent on treats or otherwise used for the dog’s benefit. 
<br>
<br>
 Thank you for supporting peaceful reconciliation between man and beast.

A Dog Bit Me in the Balls—Help Us Both Recover

<div>I am putting together this GoFundMe to support a good friend, <strong>my beautiful neighbor that was bitten by her own dog</strong>. It was a normal Monday morning, and she was leaving for work and went to say goodbye to her baby boy like she does every day with a kiss goodbye, and he just took one vicious bite and bit her nose completely off and her upper lip (almost completely off).

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This was a family dog that has never once been vicious to anyone. We can all say, "My precious pup would never bite me." But Heather would have definitely said the same thing just 2 days ago. You cannot begin to imagine what she is going through at this time. She is hurting in so many ways.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Below are photos. This is not AI, this is real life.

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now she is faced with a tough, challenging road ahead. The way our healthcare system costs and insurances work is basically a joke. Doctors don’t even know how many surgeries she will need and/or what permanent damage she will endure. <strong>To have to add unbelievable medical bills and perhaps even be faced with not even being able to afford to do a surgery is unimaginable, unacceptable.</strong> This is where we, as animal lovers, as neighbors, as human beings, band together and help a wonderful soul that is having the hardest time right now. Anything will help, and trust me, we know most of us are struggling to just live right now. Anything helps. If you can’t give a little support financially, we get it; support by sharing.

<div>Hello everyone, this past Saturday our dog Loki was bit on the nose by a rattlesnake. We rushed him to the er where we had to spend $6,000 on anti venom to save him. He came home the next day and has been fine all the way up till today (five days later) where his nose started swelling again rapidly. Docs said it can be an infection, or the venom getting to him again. I don’t know the exact cost as of right now, but estimates are going to be well over $7,000. ANYTHING helps us, even a dollar. Thank you so much and please keep Loki in your prayers. Spread the word!

Aid Haylie Kough's Path to Recovery

<strong>For Bear</strong>
<br>
<br>
 I’m raising funds for my dog, Bear, my goofy, energetic 4-year-old pup who is usually the first one at the door, ready to play. This past weekend, everything changed when Bear was bitten on the nose by a venomous pit viper in our own backyard. He didn’t come running back inside like he normally does, and when we found him, he was lethargic, his nose was badly swollen, and we could see puncture marks. We rushed him to the emergency vet, where the vet ran bloodwork right away. It confirmed that Bear had been bitten by a venomous pit viper snake, most likely a cottonmouth given the pond in our backyard. His bloodwork showed clear signs of venom in his system, and he was in real pain. They started him on antivenom through an IV and kept him for monitoring to make sure he was stable before we could bring him home. 
<br>
<br>
 Thankfully, Bear is home now and recovering well, and we are endlessly grateful to have him back with us. But that day, and the cost that came with it, hit us hard. The funds from this fundraiser will help cover Bear’s emergency treatment, including the antivenom and monitoring he needed, so we can focus on his recovery and getting him fully back to his playful, energetic self. If you’re able to help cover what he needed, even a small amount means more than we can say. And if you can’t donate, sharing his story helps just as much. Thank you for loving this silly, energetic boy as much as we do.

Help Bear Recover After Snake Bite

I am raising funds for <strong>my 15 dogs</strong>, most of them puppies, after a heartbreaking and urgent poisoning emergency. I have already lost <strong>three dogs</strong>, and I am doing everything I can to save the ones who are still with me. My roommate first noticed a white powder on three of the dogs’ noses and that they had vomited a white chunky substance. Then one of the puppies dragged a nearly empty box of rat poison past me. This was not the first terrifying incident. A couple of months ago, someone cut the fence on my property, and my dogs were fed anti-coagulant rat poison disguised as food. I found 2 of my dogs dead one morning, and another threw up a bright red substance. When I examined it, I recognized it as poison. We rushed them for help, but one puppy’s internal bleeding was too advanced, and we had to let him go. He was barely a year old. 
<br>
<br>
 Right now, I need help covering <strong>emergency vet bills</strong>, evaluations, medication like Vitamin K1, and any treatment needed to give my remaining dogs a chance to survive. I was barely able to afford the first round of treatment, and this time the poison appears to be a resistant anti-coagulant rat poison. These puppies depend on me, and I have already given everything I have to get them vaccinated, spayed and neutered, fed, and ready for loving forever homes. <strong>Please help if you can.</strong> Any support will go directly toward emergency care for my dogs and help me fight for the lives of the puppies I still have left. Thank you for caring about them and standing with us in this nightmare.

Emergency Care for Poisoned Puppies

Ginger is my older black nose cur dog, and she means so much to me and my household. She is such a vibrant dog who loves playing fetch and bringing joy to our days, so it has been hard seeing her uncomfortable and struggling. Right now, Ginger is dealing with bad skin irritation, and she needs veterinary care, including shots, medication, and having her nails clipped. I am starting this fundraiser because I want to get her the help she needs as soon as possible so she can feel better and be more comfortable again. 
<br>
<br>
 The funds raised will go toward Ginger’s vet visit, shots, and medication to treat her skin irritation and help her heal. Every donation, no matter the size, will help me give Ginger the care she deserves and support her on the road to feeling like herself again. If you are able to help, please consider supporting Ginger’s fundraiser and sharing it with others. Any support for Ginger means the world to us. Thank you for caring about her and helping her get the care she needs.

Help Ginger Get Vet Care

I’m raising money for my mom, <strong>Jo-ann Rader</strong>, who needs immediate plastic surgery after a long battle with skin cancer. Her skin cancer started about 2 to 3 years ago, and she spent that time seeing local dermatologists and cancer doctors. Unfortunately, they were not able to remove all of the cancer. She then saw a different doctor in Gainesville, Florida, who had to remove about 40% to 50% of her nose. Now she needs reconstructive plastic surgery. 
<br>
<br>
 This is not just one procedure. Jo-ann has been told this will likely take <strong>4 to 5 surgeries</strong> to complete, with a total estimated cost of <strong>$50,000 to $75,000</strong>. Every donation will go strictly toward her surgical expenses, and if any funds are left over, they will be donated to skin cancer research. 
<br>
<br>
 My mom is a very independent woman who also takes care of her 91-year-old mother, who has dementia. She is one of the most selfless people I know and always puts everyone else before herself. She is deeply involved in our community and church, and this experience has absolutely crushed her confidence. It has made her uncomfortable being out in public, which has affected someone who has always been active and present for others. 
<br>
<br>
 I’m asking for help so Jo-ann can get the surgeries she needs as soon as possible. Any amount will make a difference and help relieve some of the financial burden of this long reconstruction process. If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing her fundraiser. Thank you for supporting my mom during this difficult time.

 Hello everyone, my name is Kaiden Binns Akers. I am 24 years old and live in Reno, Nevada. Unfortunately, last Wednesday I was sent to be seen by medical at work and was rushed to the ICU for swelling in my legs. When I got there, I was told I had barely any blood in my body. I was at a 5 for my age; it needs to be at 15. I was then given more tests and, unfortunately, <strong>I have stage 5 kidney failure and my kidneys are basically scare tissue.</strong> So far, I'm not healing very well. <strong>I have a tunneled HD catheter placement in my chest now and will be doing dialysis 3 times a week.</strong> Unfortunately, I just started a new job in the electrical union and will not be able to go back to work for some time, and my insurance will not be covering all of my medical bills/prescriptions. If anyone can help with transport costs to the dialysis center, my medicine, and my special diet I will have to be on, it would be greatly appreciated.

My name is Cipriano, and I’m reaching out because I recently lost my job at a cleaning company. It’s been a month since I last worked, and the company told me things are really slow right now. The owner asked me to wait until they have a new project, but in the meantime, I’m falling behind on bills and rent. 
<br>
<br>
 I have four dogs who mean the world to me. Making sure they have enough to eat is my top priority, but it’s been hard to keep up with everything while I wait for work to pick up. Getting help with dog food would ease my stress and help my dogs stay healthy during this tough time. I know things will get better, but right now, I could really use a little support. 
<br>
<br>
 I truly appreciate your kindness. Life can be tough sometimes but not impossible. Thank you so much for your support.

<strong>Help Bring Caleah Home</strong>
<br>
<br>
 Carmen is raising funds for her 15-year-old daughter, <strong>Caleah</strong>, during an urgent and heartbreaking situation. Caleah was sent to Texas for a fresh start and a chance to try something new, but that trust was broken. Communication was suddenly cut off, abuse was reported, and now Caleah is in a shelter, hurting, overwhelmed, and far from home. Law enforcement and CPS are aware, but the process has been moving slowly while school in Nevada is about to begin. Carmen is doing everything possible to reunite with Caleah and make sure she is safe, supported, and back where she belongs. 
<br>
<br>
 Donations will help cover the immediate costs of bringing Caleah home, including travel, clothes, and school supplies so she can return and get settled as quickly as possible. Right now, Carmen has also been unable to work because of illness and is in the middle of a transition before starting a new job, which has made this crisis even harder to manage. Caleah deserves stability, care, and the chance to begin healing, including the counseling she will need after all she has been through. Any support, love, and prayers for Caleah mean so much. Nothing goes unnoticed, and every act of kindness helps bring her one step closer to home.

Help Bring Caleah Home

My name is Gary, and tomorrow I turn 55. For the past several years, I’ve been living on the streets in Sparks, Nevada, with no family left to turn to. I haven’t celebrated a birthday in a long time, and I just want to feel loved and remembered. After some difficult times in my past, including a five-year sentence that I served in full, I’ve worked hard to stay clean and sober. Life hasn’t been easy, but I’m determined to keep moving forward. 
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
 This year, I’m hoping to raise enough to get off the streets for a few days, find a safe place to stay, get cleaned up, and enjoy a hot meal. I’d love to have some new clothes and a chance to feel safe and cared for, even if just for a short time. More than anything, I want to feel like I matter and that my 55th birthday can be a turning point. Your support would help me take steps toward stability and show the community that I’m trying to get back on my feet. 
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
 I want people to know that not all homeless people are bad. Many of us have big hearts and want to help others, too. Thank you for reading my story and for any kindness you can share. God bless you.

<div>Hi. My name is Pam. I am 64 years young. I have an 11 year old, male Chihuahua. About 5 years ago, I found the job that I was always meant for...I worked at a homeless shelter in Sparks Nevada.
</div>
<div>For the 1st time in my life, I had my own apt (All on my own!). As time went on, I was able to purchase a car. From homeless to having my own place, &amp; a vehicle! I was very proud of myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As happens sometimes, changes were coming. New employers took over. Oh boy! For me, this did not go well. After 5 loyal years, &amp; having to re-apply for my job, I was terminated after about 3 months. What was I going to do?
</div>
<div>I panicked.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, I did everything that I could think of to try to get enough money for my rent &amp; this car. Well, the City helped with 2 months rent. I am very grateful for them! The car, I am still praying on. I FINALLY got a job, and another job(temp until April)but now I need to get a regular routine once again. Takes awhile for the first paycheck, yet life is still just chugging along. So, at this point in time, I feel like I am playing catch up, &amp; everything is in S L O W motion! I am in danger of not having all of February's rent.
</div>
<div>In order to retain my vehicle,(which I absolutely need in order to work), I must pay back payments &amp; possibly the next one, so I can start new &amp; stand solid on my own two feet! God Bless you for reading this whole thing. I hope this works out. I am exhausted from constant fear &amp; uncertainty.
</div>
<div>Thank you very much for your time!
</div>
<div>With humility &amp; respect,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Support Pam’s Journey to Stability

On March 19, 2026, a devastating fire tore through a home in the 3300 block of Delna Drive in Sparks, Nevada, leaving three occupants with nothing but what they were wearing—or less. Our beloved friend Amber Martinez and her precious 2-year-old daughter Lilly escaped with literally nothing. In the chaos of the moment, Amber was in the middle of changing Lilly when the fire broke out. They fled without shoes on their feet and without clothes for little Lilly. Amber suffered painful second- and third-degree burns on her hands while desperately trying to protect her baby girl and get them both to safety. 
<br>
<br>
 Everything they owned is gone: clothing, shoes, toys, household items, and even irreplaceable family ashes that held so many cherished memories. Amber has always been the kind of person who is there for everyone else—dropping everything to help friends and family through tough times. Now it's our turn to be there for her and sweet Lilly. This devoted single mom and her toddler are facing an overwhelming new beginning with no basics: clothing and shoes for both, diapers and baby essentials, temporary housing, food, toiletries, and medical care for Amber's burns. 
<br>
<br>
 Every donation, big or small, will help provide the stability and hope they need during this unimaginable hardship. Please consider donating whatever you can and sharing this campaign widely. Your kindness can help a loving mother and her innocent little girl feel safe, supported, and ready to start over. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.

<div>Hello, my name is Eugene &amp; I'm a senior male  residing in Nevada, who'seeking temporary help, due to serious health problems, which recently forced me into being unemployed. Im now facing homelessness in just a matter of days. On Friday I was served an eviction notice so I would really appreciate any help I can get while waiting to be approved for social security disability. As we all know, this process can take a while. I suffer from diabetes, edema, neuropathy,  kidney issues and a torn rotator cup. Thank you all for reading this and I appreciate your support. God bless you &amp;thank you.

Senior in Sparks nevada  facing eviction needing help

Abraham was more than just a dog—he was a gentle soul who deserved a chance at love and safety. He was found alone by the freeway train tracks in San Bernardino, passed through multiple shelters, and finally, I flew in to rescue him. From the moment I met him, I knew I wanted to give him the life he deserved, filled with kindness and care. 
<br>
<br>
 I only had two weeks with Abraham, but it was the best two weeks of my life. When he came into my home, he was already very sick. I did everything I could to help him: emergency hospital visits, diagnostics, medications, and constant care. Every day, I hoped he would pull through, and I poured my heart into making sure he felt loved and safe. Despite all my efforts, his condition was too severe, and he passed away. Losing him has been heartbreaking, and the financial impact of trying to save his life has been overwhelming. 
<br>
<br>
 Insurance denied my claim due to policy limitations, so I used CareCredit to cover his emergency treatment. I never wanted money to be the reason I didn’t try everything for Abraham. This fundraiser is to help cover the medical expenses from his hospitalization and care. Any support means more than I can put into words, and even just sharing helps. Thank you for reading Abraham’s story and for any kindness you can offer.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clovis was born in Sparks, Nevada, on February 20th, 2003, to Melanie Wong and Kay Wong. Clovis spent his whole life in Sparks, Nevada. He attended Edward C. Reed High School, where he found a love for the NJROTC program. After high school, he continued helping others.

In Memory of Clovis Wong and Support for his Family

<div>***This is the official FAMILY-APPROVED fundraiser.***

</div>
<div>On Monday, April 3, 2023, Diamond and Clarissa Roman were doing what they do best – giving back to our community through a food for the homeless program, which they started, cook for, manage, and run with their family and friends. As the team of community volunteers were wrapping up the evening, Diamond and Clarissa were assisting a woman as she was choosing what items she could use from the clothing donation Diamond brought along with the meal that night. At that time, a man suddenly and inexplicably drove his car through the area where the women were standing, hitting Diamond, Clarissa, and the other woman. All three ladies were transported to the hospital where Diamond and Clarissa were listed in critical condition upon assessment by emergency medical staff. Sadly, the other woman succumbed to her injuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diamond arrived in the emergency room with a broken back. Clarissa’s condition upon arrival at the ER was significant. She had a broken clavicle, broken ankle, broken ribs, collapsed lung, and a brain bleed. While we cannot make sense of what happened, we can surely surround and support this family as they begin the process of healing, recovering, and trying to return to a normal life that will surely include a great deal of physical and mental anguish resulting from this random act of violence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond their service to the homeless, these ladies are habitual givers in our community. Their service extends far beyond their efforts to feed those most in need. They organize an annual angel tree during the holidays, to provide for area children who are less fortunate. And Clarissa has been an active member of Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of N. Nevada since November of 2018. We can’t think of a family more deserving of our love and support.

Two Community Volunteers Need Our Help

<div>Friends and family, Sara Carolla-Volk needs our support.  As many of you are aware, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma with Brain Metastasis on October 1,2022.  
</div>
<div>Sara had not been feeling well for quite some time when she was taken to the E.R. for left side weakness.  Hours later they confirmed she had several masses in her brain that required immediate surgery. 
</div>
<div>Sara underwent an eight-hour craniotomy, removing three large malignant tumors. In true Sara spirit, she somehow woke up with a positive attitude despite not being able to move her left side or walk. The next several weeks she recovered in the hospital and a rehab, slowly regaining the ability to move independently.
</div>
<div>Thankfully Sara and her youngest son were able to move in with her parents after having to give up her apartment, drivers license and job as a nurse. Vickie and Jo have been taking excellent care of their daughter, being by her side for every radiation treatment and the side effects following.
</div>
<div>This is where we can ease some the stress off Sara and her family.  Although she has exceeded every doctor’s expectations of recovery, she still has a long way to go.  In the mean while, she is still a single mother of two with many medical bills. 
</div>
<div>Surprisingly, Sara is planning on returning to work part time as she has been not working for 6 months and has been living mostly on her savings.  Maintaining her insurance benefits is a factor as well.
</div>
<div>This account has been set up for Sara because she would never ask for help herself.  She is always the first person to offer a hand or a kind word to others. Please consider returning the favor to our beautiful friend.

<div>Hello! As some of you know, five years ago Mason Earle's life suddenly and drastically changed. He became bed-bound and was diagnosed with a chronic illness called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), causing severe illness and fatigue. Over the years, Mason has been gradually improving thanks in part to a couple of spinal surgeries and of course the love and support of many of his family and friends. He can now go on short walks, occasionally travel, drive, make music, and listen to books on tape, among other things. Recently, he tried cycling on an e-tricycle, which showed promise. Bicycles have always been a love of Mason's, but due to the forward-leaning posture when cycling, riding a regular bicycle does not work. With these funds, we could help Mason continue to pursue his love of the outdoors on his literal road to recovery. Thank you for considering donating! Love to you all.

<div>Hello Friends!!
</div>
<div>With a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency as I share the story of my precious fur baby Casca, my 10-month-old mini-Schnauzer bundle of joy who is fighting a battle for her life. I am reaching out to you today, seeking your support and generosity through our GoFundMe campaign to help Casca overcome the devastating complications of kidney failure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She underwent a routine spaying procedure on July 5th, which over the past week unfortunately led to unforeseen complications. We learned that Casca's kidneys had been severely affected, causing them to fail at a tender young age. She has lost her appetite, lost a lot of weight, lethargic, has not felt like her true self after the spay. This unexpected turn of events has left me devastated and desperate to save her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My journey to restore Casca's health has been emotionally and financially draining. The specialized medical care she urgently requires, including extensive diagnostics, medications, and ongoing treatment, has placed an immense burden on my shoulders. I am now pleading for your help to ensure that Casca receives the life-saving interventions she desperately needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contributions to my GoFundMe campaign will directly impact Casca's life by covering the overwhelming medical expenses, medications, specialized treatments, and frequent veterinary visits. She is currently at the Vet ER overnight hooked up to an IV in intensive care. Not knowing what the final outcome will be, we were quoted between $4000-$6000 depending on the rate of her recovery. I will update everyone on her progress once we get word from the vet!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation will be a significant step towards restoring Cascaroni's health and giving her a second chance at the vibrant and fulfilling life she deserves. I know that Go Fund Me takes a percentage from the fund so I included my Venmo as another option as well.
</div>
<div> I understand that times are challenging for everyone, and there are countless causes that tug at your heartstrings. However, I believe that with your support, Casca can overcome this health crisis and continue to bring joy and love into our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am forever grateful for everyone who is part of our lives. Casca means the world and has intensely emotionally supported me so much in this past year! Thank you from the depths of my heart for your consideration, compassion, and generosity. Together, let us ensure that Casca receives the lifesaving care she deserves and celebrate the resilience of my wild, spunky, Chewbacca fluffy, yappy small dog vibes and funny four-legged friend Cascaron! Let's bring her home!!!!

<div>Hello! My name is Allyson Marty, and I am 25 years old. I have recently been <strong><em>diagnosed with an aggressive form of B-cell lymphoma, known as Burkitt Lymphoma.</em> </strong>As of now, <em>I am in Stage 4 </em>and began chemotherapy treatment at the beginning of August. I am expected to complete 4 rounds of chemotherapy total! My second round begins on Monday, August 28th, 2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I graduated from college in December, and I have little to no money to pay for this cost extensive treatment that I desperately need. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Your donation will help to cover my hospital stays, chemotherapy treatment, and any additional medical costs during recovery.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>During this time, I am unable to work and provide for myself financially. With medical expenses quickly adding up, any donation (even in the smallest amount) would help tremendously. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to thank you all for your continued love and support as I do my best to navigate these uncertain times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
