Fraya is a 3-year-old Corgsky in Philadelphia, PA, who needs $2,000 for Bilateral MPL Surgery + Diagnostics.

Fraya is a 2-5 year old corgi-husky mix who was rescued from Texas last year. She was originally scheduled for euthanasia before being rescued from the local shelter. She's had quite the healthcare journey since, accruing 2 vets, 3 second opinions, 3 conditions, and (soon to be,) $8k + in medical and wellness bills. Despite these hurdles, Fraya is an absolute joy and the light of the household.

Fraya is my sole roommate and family away from home (I am an East Coast transplant). She has joined me camping, hiking, beaching, and shopping, and has become my little shadow. I recently hosted a "Fray-a-Day" Holiday Soiree in which my friends and I raised $2k for last year's pre-surgical costs and diagnostics. Fraya is well-loved and recognized in the Philly community.

Fraya has been described as the "ultimate personality" by everyone that knows her. She loves to say "hi" to everyone in her path, and has a series of quirks including: lounging on her back with feet in the air, engaging in grumpy morning awoos, stealing and hoarding the best ball at the dog park, and unintentionally scaring children for looking like a "very smol wolf."

Fraya needs costly specialty orthopedic surgery and was denied by insurance due to her condition being labeled a pre-existing “birth defect”. In addition, she’s allergic to most everything in dog food and was denied coverage for prescription food due having a related infection she was being treated for pre-adoption. Her journey has been timely, expensive, and stressful.

I am 100% financially independent and have sick/elderly parents across the country. I am chronically ill myself and pay an average of $3k/yr out of pocket for healthcare. Funding Fraya's surgery means more $ to see and help my family, board Fraya, and afford my own care.
