Coco is my three-legged dog of two years. On 30 May we rushed to Jacksonville Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,800. They have stabilized Coco, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Coco is more than a pet - Coco walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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 Jacksonville Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,800 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,850 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $490 • Medication and follow-up visits: $240 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $220 Glad we found this place. - Santiago
