Help Jabu save Ollie - surgery needed
Please help Jabu pay for Ollie's emergency treatment at Johannesburg Veterinary Centre.

Ollie is my three-legged dog of six years. On 2 January we rushed to Johannesburg Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $500.
They have stabilized Ollie, but the treatment can't wait beyond March.
Ollie is more than a pet - Ollie is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $85 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 Johannesburg Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ollie's recovery.
Where the $500 goes:
• Medication and follow-up visits: $45
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $50
• Emergency surgery: $405
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Jabu
Small update. $90 so far, I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

Wishing you the best, Jabu. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Johannesburg.
