<div>Hello, friends!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our sweet dog, Clementine, is having a big dental surgery this Friday, October 25th. She has had bad teeth for quite some time; some have fallen out already, and those she still has cause her a great amount of pain, and she cannot eat solid food comfortably. Recently, we also found out that due to the state of Clementine's gums, she is more vulnerable to infection that could cause larger problems if not addressed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I adopted Clementine 9 years ago in October 2015. She comes from the Soi Dog Foundation, who rescues dogs from the Thai dog meat trade. For those of you who know her—you know she is full of love and energy, despite her age—now, 12 and a half years old. She’s always been a super sweet girl, full of smiles—especially if there’s a treat around. We're hoping to keep her beautiful spirit alive and healthy for as many more years as we can by making sure she gets the care she needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you can imagine, the pre-operation screenings, surgery, and follow-up care are quite expensive, and it’s more than we had anticipated. Any help towards covering the costs with Clementine’s surgery, we are eternally grateful. Any amount, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can give—whether it’s through a donation, a share, or just sending some love our way. We are so lucky to have caring friends and family and a community of support for our girl.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Joshua, Robin &amp; Clementine

<div>Hello! This year, for my 29th birthday, I am fundraising $290 for the National Foster Youth Institute’s Los Angeles chapter. NFYI connects current and former foster youth across the country with elected representatives and decision-makers to help educate, inform and influence policy. I love that their work elevates foster youth voices so that people with firsthand experience in the child welfare system have a seat at the table and lead us all towards systemic change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now that Los Angeles is has been my home now for a year, I want to support my local community and neighbors. "The most recent census of unhoused Angelenos conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority found that the county had 3,029 homeless transition age youth (young adults 18-24 who are leaving foster care). Housing instability is a critical issue for many foster youth, particularly those who are aging out of care with no support system, and thus a focus for this chapter." In addition to housing, they also focus on juvenile justice and access to higher education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This organization's work is especially important and personal to me as an adoptee. I am so thankful for the people and groups who've helped me develop my voice as an adoptee and speak to and about my experiences—to both educate and heal. I love that this group is doing that for foster youth and so much more.
</div>

Birthday fundraiser for NFYI LA

Dear Friends &amp; Family,<br /><br />It's with great sadness that we let you know  our lovable and iconic shitzu, Chico, has fallen greatly ill and is currently in the ICU at Verg Animal Hospital.<br /><br />Chico, who is usually healthy and puppy-like, began to show questionable breathing symptoms on Saturday night and was immediately taken to the emergency hospital by his concerned moms, Jen Jinx and Verduch. After several tests and x-rays, the doctors concluded that he was sick with a common dog flu. He was given an aggressive treatment of antibiotic injections and then sent home with his family. <br /><br />Sadly, Chico's symptoms didn't seem to improve the next day and at around 3am on Sunday, he suffered a very scary seizure. Verduch rushed him back to the hospital where the doctors suggested Chico stay for 2 days for observation and more testing. <br /><br />That brings us to this morning (Monday). Verduch received an urgent phone call from the ICU at Verg. They had assigned one of their top doctors to Chico's mysterious case. He called with the news that Chico has pneumonia and could be septic. He is very ill and likely in a great deal of pain and discomfort. The hospital team wants up to 4 or 5 days to continue testing and to get Chico back on the road to health. <br /><br />At this point the doctors at Verg are trying to identify if there is cancer or other underlying health issues at play. <br /><br />Unfortunately, at a time when Chico's health should be the only concern, issues of financing his treatment have weighed heavily on Chico's family. The hospital bills are adding up, and the cost of Chico's treatment will surpass $5k. Jen and Verduch have already paid close to $1k from their own pockets in the last 2 days, and have had to charge over $2,500. <br /><br />They have reached the end of their ability to pay for Chico's treatment. <br /><br />In a desperate attempt to help lessen the financial burden and maybe alleviate some of the stress associated with these sudden costs, I have started this campaign. <br /><br />I'm writing this with great concern for Chico, who I strongly believe can beat this diagnosis, but also for his mom's who urgently need money to pay for Chico's extended stay and testing.<br /><br />Please please please consider donating any amount you can to Chico's fund, and help us spread the word!<br /><br />WE NEED CHICO HEALTHY AT HOME!<br />Thank you in advance for your support and love. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Chris (Chico's gay uncle)<br /><br /><br />UPDATE: The amount has been raised to reflect the current needs.

Save Chico

He is only four years old. He loves to play with his frisbees and spend time with his brother, Charlie. <br />Diesel just suffered a heat stroke and it's affecting his blood clotting factors as well as his internal organs. his treatments are expensive and we were barely able to pay for one day of treatment. the doctors are saying he will need a few more days of treatment, but they can't do anything unless we pay them first. we are in desperate need of help and anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated. We love Diesel and we want to do everything we can to help him. The doctor told us that he has a fighting chance and we don't want to stop until we know we did everything we could. <br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/21325522_1497966129.3765_funddescription.jpg" alt="21325522_1497966129.3765_funddescription" width="100%" />
