“When the vet told us that Ellie's Rainy Day Fund had agreed to help Starbucks, we wept. We'd exhausted basically everything we had, and we were both so scared we were going to have to let him go because of the cost. I don't know how to sufficiently express the gratitude we have. I'm still in a state of stunned disbelief.”
