Help Kevin save Buddy - surgery needed
Buddy, Kevin's dog, needs urgent treatment for a tumor on the spleen costing $300.

Buddy is my dog of two years. On 3 July we rushed to Nairobi Animal Hospital with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $300.
They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $45 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 Nairobi Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery.
Where the $300 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $140
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $85
• Medication and follow-up visits: $40
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35
Thanks for being kind about this.
