Aria is a 10 year old Cardigan Welsh Corgi in new york, NY, who needs $20,000 for Canine Lymphoma Chemotherapy.

Aria is our 10 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who has been my best friend for nearly her entire life. We live together in Sunnyside, Queens, where she loves our neighborhood dog run and chasing squeaky balls in our apartment courtyard. When she needs a break from city life, she happily visits Grandma's backyard in Connecticut.

After finding a lump in Aria's neck and noticing increased panting and coughing, we brought her to Court Square Animal Hospital. She was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma in multiple lymph nodes and a mast cell tumor on her hind leg. We have been referred to The Veterinary Specialty Referral Center of Manhattan for oncology care.

Aria still thinks she's a puppy. She lives for squeaky balls and will instantly perk up when she hears one squeak, even after deciding she's done walking like the stubborn corgi she is. Everyone at our local Irish market knows her and gives her turkey after she shows off her favorite tricks. She brings joy wherever she goes.

I am a full time nursing student in New York City while working to support myself. Aria's chemotherapy is estimated to cost $15,000 to $20,000, far beyond what I can afford. Any support would give my best friend the chance to fight this cancer and continue her happy life.
