Rocky is my dog of two years. On 2 May we rushed to San Francisco Animal Hospital with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,550. They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $195 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to San Francisco Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,550 goes: • Emergency surgery: $920 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $310 • Medication and follow-up visits: $320 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Isaac

Updates from Isaac

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 69% funded and I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 65% now ($1,001). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($778 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
