Maple is my three-legged dog of eleven years. On 5 December we rushed to Durgapur Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $300. They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond February. Maple is more than a pet - Maple is the reason I get out of bed. 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 Durgapur Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $300 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $30 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $95 • Emergency surgery: $175 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Nisha

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($162 in total) I made the first payment toward diagnostics. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 31% there. I made the first payment toward emergency surgery. Thank you.

  3. Quick update: $20 raised so far (7%). I made the first payment toward emergency surgery. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Nisha

  • Stay strong, Nisha. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
