Simba is my three-legged dog of three years. On 15 November we rushed to Allentown Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,000. They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond February. Simba is more than a pet - Simba is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $155 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 Allentown Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,000 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $270 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $210 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $520 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Wendy

Updates from Wendy

Good news. Because of your gifts ($232 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $209 raised so far (21%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Allentown: the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
