Buddy is my three-legged dog of three years. On 18 April we rushed to the San Nicolás de los Garza Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $600. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy 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. Funds will be paid straight to the San Nicolás de los Garza Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery. Where the $600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $260 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $185 • Medication and follow-up visits: $70 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Alejandro

Updates from Alejandro

  1. Small update. $287 so far, I made the first payment toward emergency surgery.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 26% funded and I made the first payment toward diagnostics.

  3. Update from San Nicolás de los Garza: I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
