About this campaign

I'm a United States Air Force Gulf War Veteran with 100% service connected disability. 4 years ago Kawhi (sounds like Koo-Why) graduated a Veterans service dog program called "Stray to Service". He's a 100 pound Newfoundland /Border Collie rescue from an Indian reservation in Montana. Kawhi and I have been inseparable ever since. It's just he and I in life and he is my everything.

Kawhi is now in terrible pain and needs help. He has developed a severe limp in his front right paw and is in constant discomfort. At just 6.5 years old, he still has so much life and purpose left to live. His care team at CareVet in Freeport, Maine ran bloodwork that came back normal and prescribed pain medication, but it has not helped. He now needs x-rays after trying all other OTC options

Kawhi is a seizure alert dog and PTSD / panic attack awareness service dog who is with me 24 hours a day. He is the kindest most gentle furry 100 pound ball of love I have ever seen. His only goal in life, is making sure his master is safe. We have traveled the country together to speak publicly for Veteran suicide prevention and he has become a mascot at my church, gym n Veterans organizations

As a disabled Veteran on a fixed income I am barely getting by and Kawhi's Veterinarian says he needs X-rays and the cost of just those is almost $900. Kawhi has been by my side every step. It's now my turn to take care of him. Any help would be deeply appreciated
