Temporary foster for Mango while Olumide recovers in hospital
Olumide must spend 5 weeks in hospital and needs a trusted person to foster Mango, a border collie.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria1,074 views
I'm going into inpatient treatment on Friday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Mango, my four-year-old border collie. Mango is gentle, house-trained, good with children and other animals.
I'm looking for a temporary foster within Epe. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Mango is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.
I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Stay strong, Olumide. Gave what I could, wish it was more
you're not alone, Olumide. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Sending strength, Olumide. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
stay strong, Olumide. Shared this with my family. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Palermo.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
