Rocky is my German shepherd of two years. On 13 March we rushed to Nagoya Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,500. They have stabilized Rocky, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Rocky is more than a pet - Rocky got me through my hardest year. I have already put $300 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 Nagoya Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Rocky's recovery. Where the $1,500 goes: • Emergency surgery: $920 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $330 • Medication and follow-up visits: $85 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $165 I hope life is good to you. - Akira

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Akira?
