Sunny is my dog of six years. On 7 January we rushed to Orlando Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $3,100. They have stabilized Sunny, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Sunny is more than a pet - Sunny is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $160 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 Orlando Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Sunny's recovery. Where the $3,100 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,650 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $750 • Medication and follow-up visits: $340 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $360 Thanks for reading all this. - Araceli

Updates from Araceli

  1. Update from Orlando: I made the first payment toward emergency surgery. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Araceli

  2. 47% there. the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled. Thank you.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($817). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts.

    Take care, Araceli. Hope you get there. Don't give up. All the best.

    • wishing you the best, Araceli. Poor Sunny, hope they feel better soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Orlando.

      • Poor Sunny, hope they feel better soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

        • wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 23 people at work. All the best.

          • sending love, Araceli. Shared it with a few friends.

            • Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Orlando.
