Pixel is my dog of nine years. On 2 July we rushed to Kampala Animal Hospital with kidney failure. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $350. They have stabilized Pixel, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Pixel is more than a pet - Pixel got me through my hardest year. I have already put $40 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 Kampala Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Pixel's recovery. Where the $350 goes: • Emergency surgery: $175 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $75 • Medication and follow-up visits: $45 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Helped when no one else could

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

  • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Medan so I could bring a meal. God bless.

        Stay strong, Barasa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

        • Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Tijuana this morning. Thinking of Kampala

          • Rooting for you, Barasa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
