I had no idea what to do or how to help him. In my whole life, I have never felt this helpless.
It was awful to see him suffering and I felt absolutely hopeless. Thank you so much to all your kind donors. You truly have no idea how much this means to us. You have truly saved our family.
Seeing my baby get hit by a car was absolutely devastating!
I was already so stressed from trying to pay for the surgery on my mouth. And then losing my job because I was out for the emergency surgery. I was trying to figure out how to still make my payment and not lose my house.
Did Dak slip out the door because I was distracted by my own woes? Was this my fault?
My son got him for Christmas for me 3 years ago. He fell instantly in love with him. He got Dak for me because I am getting older and he didn’t want me to be alone. I brought him home at 8 weeks old. Best present ever!
He’s silly and always has me smiling and laughing. I love the way he turns and tilts his head while I’m talking to him. It’s like he’s really listening and cares. He knows when I just need a hug. He will just come give me a hug or just plop right on my lap. He’s 78 pounds but thinks he’s 5 pounds. But he’s just so darned sweet.
After he got hit, I spent two weeks desperately trying to get him help. No one would do a payment plan. I slept on the floor with him every night.
Then by some miracle, Ellie’s Rainy Day Fund was able to help. Dak’s elbow was too stretched and damaged and they had to amputate his leg. I could never have afforded that surgery.
