Tucker is my three-legged dog of three years. On 7 September we rushed to the Albany Emergency Vet Clinic with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,700. They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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 the Albany Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Tucker's recovery. Where the $1,700 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $175 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $560 • Emergency surgery: $965 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jimena

Updates from Jimena

  1. We're at 21% thanks to 11 of you. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Update from Albany: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($676 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Rooting for you, Jimena. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

          You're not alone, Jimena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
