Have you ever had to watch the furry love of your life crushed by a speeding car? Then trying to drag herself over to you?
It was the worst moment of our lives.
Our baby, Willow—the one who immediately snuggled with us when we met a whole playpen of puppies. The pup who clearly chose us. The girl who keeps my partner from slipping into crippling anxiety and makes us each feel like a million bucks every time we come home from work or college.
Was this freak accident going to break our family apart?
We couldn’t imagine not having to replace the blinds every month because Willow’s pushing them out of the window so she can keep a lookout for us. What would we do without her lying on our feet when we are cooking? How could we no longer see that look of pride on her face after she finishes shredding a tennis ball?
We are college students who work full-time to make ends meet. Emergency surgery and a stay in the ICU weren’t in our budget. We put in everything we had but our money was depleted quickly.
Receiving this help from the kind donors of Ellie’s Rainy Day Fund means everything to us. It’s more than just financial assistance—it’s the difference between losing a beloved member of our family and giving her a second chance at life. In a moment of complete helplessness, this support provides hope, relief, and the ability to focus on her recovery instead of the overwhelming burden of how to afford the care she desperately needs. Knowing that there are people who care enough to step in during such a critical time is incredibly humbling and deeply appreciated. This generosity allows us to keep our family whole, and we will be forever grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to us and our sweet girl. Thank you.
