Simba is my three-legged dog of thirteen years. On 12 April we rushed to Warsaw Animal Hospital with pyometra. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,300. They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond June. Simba is more than a pet - Simba is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $60 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 Warsaw Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $710 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $320 • Medication and follow-up visits: $125 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $145 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Sending good thoughts, Łukasz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Thinking of Warsaw!

    • Thanks for sharing this. Give Simba a hug from me. Take care.

      • Thanks for sharing this, Łukasz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

        • Best of luck, Łukasz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best

          • You're not alone. Poor Simba, hope they feel better soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
