Help Cover Unexpected Emergency Surgery

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Hearts,

We are reaching out to you today with a mix of deep gratitude and a humble request for your help.

As many of you know, our family works hard, trusts in the Lord, and always tries to do the right thing. Over the 4th of July holiday, I was helping a friend by pet-sitting. Everything went beautifully for four days, but on the fifth day a sudden, shocking accident happened. The young dog we were watching jumped on our beloved 8.5 year-old PomChi Broccoli Bear, fracturing his left hind leg.

Unfortunately, our local vet is not a board certified surgeon for this type of injury. Seeking the best professional advice, we drove him to Port City Veterinary Hospital in Portsmouth, NH. While we were open to amputation if it meant keeping him out of pain, the veterinary specialist assured us that Broccoli Bear’s excellent health meant orthopedic surgery was his best option for a full recovery and a happy life.

Our Current Predicament

We believe in being proactive rather than giving in to worry. To get him the immediate care he needed, we were approved for a CareCredit line to cover the $10,918 total cost of his surgery and medical care. We are so thankful the surgery went well. Our brave little guy is already starting to put weight on his leg!

However, this emergency has brought a heavy financial strain at an incredibly difficult time for us. We are currently experiencing urgent financial challenges compounded by other unexpected bills (including rising property taxes and medical bills). Right now, we have no money to fix our cars and if we don’t address these repairs soon, we will completely lose our ability to drive to work.

Adding an extra $485 a month to pay the CareCredit bill forces us into a desperate situation, taking away from the essential funds needed to fix our transportation and keep our household afloat.

How You Can Help

We are trying to be creative, resourceful, and faithful in this crazy situation. If you feel moved to support us, your donations will directly offset the cost of Broccoli Bear's emergency surgical bills and help us manage this sudden monthly deficit.

1. Donate: Any amount, no matter how small, directly relieves this monthly financial pressure and helps us pay down the $10,918 balance.
2. Share: If you are unable to give financially, please share our link with your community, church group, or animal-loving friends.
3. Pray: We ask for your continued prayers for our little guy’s smooth recovery, and for our family’s peace of mind as we navigate this hurdle.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, your generosity and your prayers. We are trusting in the Lord to see us through!
