About this campaign
Khaleesi (named inspired by the Dragon Queen Game of Throne character, meaning "queen" or strong woman in Dathraki) is our second rescue adoption from The Humane Society. She has one cat brother (also adopted) and two human brothers, 11 and 17.
Khaleesi has been part of our family for 6+ years. She is incredibly sweet but can be very strong-willed (name fits). It took awhile for her to trust everyone in the house. At first, she was always attached to Dad's hip and even would follow him around the house. With time, she has become close with everyone in the family and has become trusting of humans.
She is absolutely obsessed with food. If you are eating, look out! She will beg, bother, whine, yell, and even steal your food if you aren't looking.
Khaleesi has nasal cancer with a mass growing in her sinus cavity. She was diagnosed and under care of Pompano Oncology. We also had consultation at Fort Lauderdale Cancer Center. The best treatment would be SRT radiation treatment but we can't afford to spend $8,000-$12,000. The next option would be chemotherapy, but it will cost $300-$500 per treatment. Right now, we are doing palliative care.
With terrible timing, our family just had an unexpected job loss from layoff and two of us having to have surgeries this year. We are praying for enough to help Khaleesi get a couple treatments of chemo while we get finances back on track.
