Diva is a 3 month old Maltese in Somerset , NJ, who needs $2,000 for MRI.

Diva was a gift from a very generous friend who breeds Maltipoos. Diva was the smallest of the litter and the last puppy remaining. We were a perfect match because I was looking for a small companion and she needed a home. We live in a beautiful townhouse in suburban New Jersey with lots of grass and greenery. Diva enjoys home cooked meals and sleeps in a toddler bed fit for a princess.

Diva was with a "trusted caregiver' over the weekend. When I was discharged it was discovered that she has two broken ribs and no longer has full use of her hind legs. I rushed her to an Animerge, then Red Bank Vet Clinic. Diva has a nerve or spine injury that needs further evaluation. An MRI is required to assess the full extent of the issue, then possible surgery, rehabilitation and medication.

Diva is a little cuddly furball. She's sweet, she's sassy she's funny and I love her so much. Her favorite toy is a little dog stuffy which is almost as big as she is. She loves to snuggle with it overnight and carries it around constantly. She's brought great joy to me and everyone iust adores her. Our oldest human child is now 3 years old so Diva is the new baby of the family.

I'm a disabled senior citizen on a fixed income. Care for Diva's injury is very costly. My income is limited and I live on a strict budget, but I want to do everything I can to help my baby and give her the chance to recover. Getting her healthy is everything to me.
