Help Sergio save Maple - surgery needed
A dog named Maple needs orthopedic surgery - a $650 bill the family can't cover.

Maple is my dog of eleven years. On 1 June we rushed to Mar del Plata Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $650.
They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Maple is more than a pet - Maple is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $55 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 Mar del Plata Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $650 goes:
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $155
• Medication and follow-up visits: $40
• Emergency surgery: $455
Thanks for reading all this.
