About this campaign

Chewbacca has spent his life lifting kids who needed him most—calming anxiety, building confidence, and giving unconditional love every day. He’s the heart of his school and a hero to so many. Now he’s fighting for his life, and the community he’s healed is fighting for him. Please help save Chewy, a dog whose love has changed countless young lives. He is so loved and needed in this world.

Chewy was rushed to the emergency vet with severe pain and difficulty walking. Tests revealed a large intestinal mass and dangerous fluid in his abdomen. He’s in the ICU and needs surgery to remove and resect his small intestine. The mass is unknown and may require further treatment. His condition is critical, and costs are estimated at $8–10k. We are desperate for help saving this amazing boy

Chewbacca is the heart of his school, lifting kids who struggle by calming their anxiety, building their confidence, and giving unconditional love every day. He listens, comforts, celebrates their wins, and makes every child feel seen. Chewy isn’t just a dog—he’s a lifeline, a healer, and a source of hope for everyone he meets. He is his mom’s heart and soul, her constant companion .

Chewy’s life‑saving emergency care and surgery will cost $8–10k, far beyond what his family can cover. With two modest incomes and no emergency fund large enough for urgent vet care, they’re terrified of losing him. They are desperately seeking any help from the community
