Iris Salinas is a 14 year old Mix-Breed in New Smyrna Beach, FL, who needs $2,000 for Tumor Removal.

Iris came to me at 2 weeks old. I held her tiny sweet body in my hands to nurse her. I fed her, bathed her, kissed her and loved her from the moment I picked her up. Iris is the pack leader, a princess, stubborn, smart, stoic. She's loves to eat, play, cuddle and eat. She loves her Daddy & she's obsessed with me. She's my hero. Iris is our light & joy. She's the best little girl in the world.

Iris has a cancerous growth on her front right leg on her elbow. It's a tumor. It's a stage 1.We had it biopsied and it hasn't healed. It's split open and she needs it removed as soon as possible. Her surgery is scheduled for Monday the 10th with the specialist at AVS in Daytona. The cost range is $3200 to $3800 & I need to put down a $2,700 deposit before the surgery and pay the remaining balance

Iris is the center of our world.She's been the only female amongst her best friends and brothers. She's been raised by, with and raised a group of the best boys in the world. When she can't be with us, my parents and brother watch her. Every morning she goes straight to my brother's door for morning cuddles, comes out to have coffee with her grandma and gets a piece of breakfast from grandpa.

Our hearts have ached a lot in 3 years. We lost 2 of Iris' brothers. 2 of the best boys she helped raise. I gave birth to a stillborn boy inbtwn those losses. Her Daddy was let go& I left my job after our loss. We started a S.B.Iris is my world. I can't bare life w.o her.
