Help Barasa save Pixel - surgery needed

A dog named Pixel needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $350 bill the family can't cover.

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.

    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
