My Cane Corso mix, Nala, has been part of our family for four years. She's been there through everything, and now she needs us more than ever. She recently had puppies, but a couple of her mammary glands have become infected. We've called multiple vets in the Asheville area, and they all require payment for the office visit upfront, plus the cost of her shots and treatment. I can't afford to lose her.

Right now, our situation is incredibly tight. My daughter, my two grandsons, and I are living in a motel. Money is scarce, and honestly, we're broke. To make matters worse, my daughter and the boys are battling the flu right now, so they're struggling too. Our car broke down recently, which means we'd need to use Uber to get Nala to a vet appointment. We also need formula and bottles to properly feed the puppies while Nala recovers.

This is a lot to handle all at once, but I'm asking for help because Nala means everything to us. She's been a faithful companion, and I refuse to give up on her. If you're able to contribute anything toward her vet care, the Uber rides, puppy formula, and bottles, it would mean the world to our family. We're in a tough spot, but we're not giving up on Nala.
