Help Rodrigo save Buddy - surgery needed
Buddy, Rodrigo's rescue greyhound, needs urgent treatment for a foreign object blocking the intestines costing $750.

Buddy is my rescue greyhound of eleven years. On 30 June we rushed to São Paulo Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $750.
They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $110 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 São Paulo Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $750 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $360
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $220
• Medication and follow-up visits: $45
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rodrigo?
Thank you. If you're in São Paulo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Marrakesh so I could bring a meal.
keep going. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Agra but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out, Rodrigo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Springfield.
Stay strong. Give Buddy a hug from me. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Thinking of you, Rodrigo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
