Maple is my rescue greyhound of six years. On 3 September we rushed to Tallahassee Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,700. They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond December. Maple is more than a pet - Maple got me through my hardest year. 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. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Tallahassee Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,700 goes: • Emergency surgery: $930 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $500 • Medication and follow-up visits: $270 I hope life is good to you. - Pilar

Updates from Pilar

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($350 in total) I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $667 raised so far (39%). the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. We're at 43% thanks to 30 of you. I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits. More news soon.
