Save Ginger: Mateo can't afford the emergency vet

A three-legged dog named Ginger needs orthopedic surgery - a $2,750 bill the family can't cover.

Ginger is my three-legged dog of three years. On 6 March we rushed to Newcastle Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,750. They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger got me through my hardest year. I have already put $190 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 Newcastle Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ginger's recovery. Where the $2,750 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,550 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $640 • Medication and follow-up visits: $250 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $310 I hope life is good to you. - Mateo

    I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. God bless.
