A desperately ill Chihuahua needs our help!

As many of you know, my sister has been agonizing over her very sick Chihuahua named Charlie. I first posted about this around Purim, when she was holding a fundraiser for his care. Many wonderful folks wanted to help and much progress was made! Unfortunately, it had to be temporarily stopped when he experienced new problems.

He is now back on track with daily medication and the fundraiser is active again! He desperately needs dental surgery, something that was put off for too long and led to kidney problems, due to bacteria entering the bloodstream. (The problem with tooth decay is that leads to a host of new problems: In Charlie’s case, it’s renal failure. Although we cannot turn back time and get his teeth extracted earlier, it’s never too late to take better care of our bodies and the bodies of those we are responsible for! He has been cleared for surgery, finally, after several months.)

Jackie has spent all of her savings on this little guy and his brother Chi, Oscar. I know many of you are die-hard pet lovers and may be able to help us get the word out! 

On a side note, I’m always taking about my sister’s amazing artwork. If you do not like to donate to crowdfunding campaigns, please consider making a purchase from her Etsy shop.

Charlie’s mama, aka My Baby Sis, is the world’s biggest animal lover. She’s not a lazy dog owner who ignored a medical issue. (When she adopted Charlie, he already had bad teeth and it’s only gotten worse.)  Because she is on a limited budget, she spent over 100 hours searching for financial assistance for sick pets. 

It’s going to take a village to heal this precious Chihuahua. We’re almost halfway there, and we can’t do this without the kindness of others. Please use the share buttons below to spread the word about Charlie’s Fundraiser and contribute if you’re able.

Feel free to add your well wishes and prayers for Charlie in the comments.
