Ginger is my dog of three years. On 19 August we rushed to the León Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $550. They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger got me through my hardest year. I have already put $110 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 the León Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $550 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $55 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $135 • Emergency surgery: $360 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
