Help Natália save Maple - surgery needed

Maple is my German shepherd of three years. On 28 October we rushed to the Feira de Santana Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $250. They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Maple is more than a pet - Maple walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $75 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 the Feira de Santana Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Maple's recovery. Where the $250 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $90 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $105 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55 Every share and every dollar helps.
