Lucy is a 12 year old Dachshund in Austin, TX, who needs $1,635 for Enucleation of One Eye.

Lucy has been a part of my family's life for 12 years. She was gifted to us by my boss when I worked retail in college. She loves to be active and has so much energy. She has gone through many housing changes and she has been a companion during many grieving periods for us and her loyalty has kept us grounded. She now lives with my boyfriend and I, along with my boyfriend's dog Kevin.

Lucy has severe uveitis + cataract. I took her to San Antonio to see an ophthalmologist and he recommended removal of the eye. For now, she is on pain meds and eye drops for the swelling. It came on quickly and we have surpassed $1k in bills . Luckily, I was able to afford that, but now I am faced with prolonging her surgery until I can afford the rest. Anything helps us get her relief sooner.

Lucy has brought our family together and has helped us heal as individuals. Our family has been through a lot of difficult and traumatic loss, and for many years that impacted how we were able to interact as family. Lucy has somehow brought us together, and has guided us towards healing through her company and resilience. She is my angel.

I had to move unexpectedly as well as have my mom as a dependent for a year after her partner died. I am still recovering financially from that situation, and had to take on debt to make ends meet. Right now, I want to bring Lucy relief & comfort, the same way has for us.
