Willow was the definition of joy and energy. Until a speeding car nearly took her away from her family.

Willow's moms are full-time working college students who adore their beloved pup. When this horrific accident happened they pulled together all their savings and credit to save Willow's life. But, it wasn't enough to cover emergency hospital care in full.

The veterinary staff knew that they could rely on Ellie's Rainy Day Fund donors so they could provide the care Willow needed. Knowing you were there meant they did not have to delay.

Jeff the Cat was doing his daily yard inspection when a neighbor's bulldog reached under the fence and grabbed his leg.

Fortunately, Jeff managed to escape, but he suffered a severe injury. When his family heard his desperate cries, they rushed him to the emergency vet clinic. The staff learned about Jeff's vital role as a support for his father, who faces complex PTSD, and his brother, who lives with autism. They knew they could rely on  Ellie's Rainy Day Fund to save this family.

Despite losing a leg, Jeff showed incredible resilience and has returned to guarding his yard while bringing comfort to his family. His journey highlights the deep bond between animals and their humans.

WHO WILL YOU SAVE NEXT?

Sophie and her mom make a great team. They care for each other each day. They make the perfect little family.

Because you you cared enough to make sure that Sophie received the testing needed to diagnose her diabetes, these two are able to keep their love alive and keep loneliness away.
