Buddy is my German shepherd of two years. On 16 February we rushed to Mumbai Animal Hospital with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $200. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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 Mumbai Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Buddy's recovery. Where the $200 goes: • Emergency surgery: $90 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $40 • Medication and follow-up visits: $50 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $20 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
