Luna is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 8 April we rushed to Cape Town Animal Hospital with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $550. They have stabilized Luna, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Luna is more than a pet - Luna is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $80 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 Cape Town Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Luna's recovery. Where the $550 goes: • Emergency surgery: $320 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $110 • Medication and follow-up visits: $55 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $65 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Beatrix

  1. 19% there. I made the first payment toward diagnostics. Thank you.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($98). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Quick update: $25 raised so far (5%). I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Beatrix

    • Thanks for sharing this, Beatrix. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Cape Town.

      • Sending good thoughts, Beatrix. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

        • Best of luck, Beatrix. Hope you get there. Take care.

          • Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Corpus Christi.
