Help Heloísa save Max - surgery needed
Max, Heloísa's German shepherd, needs urgent treatment for kidney failure costing $450.

Max is my German shepherd of two years. On 15 August we rushed to Salvador Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $450.
They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Max is more than a pet - Max got me through my hardest year. I have already put $55 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Salvador Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $450 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $230
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $95
• Medication and follow-up visits: $35
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Heloísa. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Salvador
how is Heloísa doing now?
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Lille so I could bring a meal. Take care
Good luck, Heloísa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
hope the recovery goes smoothly. God bless.
Sending love, Heloísa. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Heloísa.
Sure. The biggest one is emergency surgery, $230. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks for sharing this, Heloísa. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page. Take care
hope things get better soon, Heloísa. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Kasarani
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours!
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Columbus.
poor Max, hope they feel better soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
