Mocha is my rescue greyhound of thirteen years. On 9 May we rushed to the Ballarat Emergency Vet Clinic with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,400. They have stabilized Mocha, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Mocha is more than a pet - Mocha walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $130 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 the Ballarat Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Mocha's recovery. Where the $1,400 goes: • Emergency surgery: $720 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $390 • Medication and follow-up visits: $185 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $105 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Aaliyah

  1. Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($837). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward emergency surgery.
