Help İsmail save Buddy - surgery needed
A rescue greyhound named Buddy needs orthopedic surgery - a $500 bill the family can't cover.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye737 views
Buddy is my rescue greyhound of two years. On 15 September we rushed to Istanbul Veterinary Centre with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $500.
They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $50 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 Istanbul Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery.
Where the $500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $290
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $95
• Medication and follow-up visits: $70
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, İsmail. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Stay strong, İsmail. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Madina donated after I showed her your page
Keep going, İsmail. I hope things turn around soon
You're not alone, İsmail. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out!
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Thủ Đức so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
You're not alone, İsmail. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Put this on a community board in Pretoria this morning. God bless.
Take care, İsmail. Give Buddy a hug from me. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
