Ziggy is my German shepherd of nine years. On 17 August we rushed to Mumbai Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $350. They have stabilized Ziggy, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Ziggy is more than a pet - Ziggy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $45 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to Mumbai Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ziggy's recovery. Where the $350 goes: • Emergency surgery: $210 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $70 • Medication and follow-up visits: $15 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Divya
