Help Athena, Our Beloved German Shepherd, Get the Surgery She Desperately Needs!

Hello Everyone,

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help for our beloved family member, Athena. Athena is not just a pet; she's been a cherished member of our family for the past 10 years, bringing joy, love, and companionship into our lives every single day.

Two years ago, Athena began showing symptoms of distress, which we later discovered were caused by a nasty thorn embedded in her hind leg. Although the thorn was removed, it left behind traces of poison that led to a severe infection. Despite our efforts and numerous medications, Athena's condition has worsened, and she's now resistant to further treatment.

We recently took Athena to Onderstepoort Academy Hospital, where the veterinarians advised that she needs urgent surgery to remove the infection and repair the damage it has caused. Additionally, they recommended removing a bothersome wart from her left eyelid, which could potentially affect her eyesight if left untreated.

The estimated cost of Athena's surgery, including the procedures on her leg and eyelid, amounts to R10,000. As much as we want to provide her with the care she needs, the financial burden is overwhelming for our family.

Athena has always been there for us through thick and thin, offering unwavering loyalty, love, and support. Now, it's our turn to be there for her in her time of need. We want nothing more than to alleviate her pain and ensure she can enjoy her golden years comfortably and happily.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a world of difference to Athena and our family. Every donation brings us closer to giving Athena the chance to live the rest of her life pain-free and full of joy.

Please consider donating and sharing Athena's story with your friends, family, and social networks. Together, we can give Athena the gift of a better quality of life and show her just how much she means to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support during this challenging time.

With love and gratitude, Kelly and the entire family
