Mama is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Chicago, IL, who needs $1,000 for Tooth Extraction due to Severe Periodontal Disease.

Mama is my love bucket rescue bestie! My family has had her since she was very young. She has watched my boys grow older like we have watched her. She is truly loved by my entire family, she never misses a party or barbecue. I recently rescued her sister Peggy Bundy for companionship as well as a somewhat daughter for Mama because it’s rather hard to mate mixed breeds and motherhood is priceless.

Mama is suffering from a very severe case of periodontal disease. It really breaks my heart because with the prices set the way they are I feel like it’s nothing I can do about it. I feel like extraction is the best route which we all know is just as or more expensive as a cleaning. I have trouble sleeping some nights after hours of calling and being told prices I can’t afford.

She is my very best friend. We have shared great times together. She is the best walking companion. We love the forest preserve and squirrel watching. She’s so affectionate and attentive we both cry watching the Notebook. She loves her sister Peggy Bundy and shares everything with her. She loves Christmas and walking looking at the lights, and the snow is her favorite thing in the world!

Where do I start I recently lost my job and found out I was pregnant. My first son is graduating from high school in June. I am looking for work again but my doctor doesn’t recommend it because I’m a CNA which requires lifting, and my employer is fighting my unemployment!
