Save Finn: Irene can't afford the emergency vet

A German shepherd named Finn needs emergency surgery - a $500 bill the family cannot cover.

Finn is my German shepherd of eleven years. On 6 June we rushed to Madrid Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $500. They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Finn is more than a pet - Finn is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $230 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 Madrid Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Finn's recovery. Where the $500 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $155 • Medication and follow-up visits: $120 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $225 Glad we found this place. - Irene

Updates from Irene

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($341 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 38% there. I made the first payment toward diagnostics. Thank you.

  3. Update from Madrid: I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
