Gracie is a 8-year-old Chihuahua in Brooklyn , NY, who needs $1,500 for surgical procedure..

Six years ago our chihuahua Gracie was given as a gift to my son Alberto by his best friend named Jesus who is a police officer. During that time my son went through the terrible ordeal of losing his great grandmother who died in his arms from cancer. As a result of her passing he was experiencing panic attacks. Gracie has been an important member of our family now for six beautiful years.

Many times Gracie sleeps with me in my bed and at other times she sleeps with my son in his bed. Gracie enjoys being walked and she tends to be very communicative when she wants to be rubbed in her belly or when she wants a snack. Gracie is very smart, loving, compassionate and kind with everyone she meets. When I tell her Gracie go do pee in her wee pad she goes and does pee.

Whenever I am about to take Gracie a bath she is so smart she hides under my bed, or under the bed covers. She is afraid of thunder, rain and being in a car. Gracie is so amazing that when my son suffers from his IBS attacks she sits by the bathroom door in desperation because she knows he's unwell. When she sees him all she wants to do is lick his entire face.

Gracie needs to have three lumps removed from her memory glands. She needs to be spade, have blood work done and have an x-ray. The blood work will detect if she is a candidate for surgery, she will also undergo a biopsy to make sure its not cancerous. Her x-ray will show if she has any other lumps. She needs to have a surgical procedure done as soon as possible.

Due to the Veterinarian cost of Gracies treatment it exceeds my cost of living which is a fixed income. At this current moment I don't have the means to provide emergency care. I am a single parent who provides for all of my household expenses. Thank you to all.
