Moki is a 12 year old Shih Tzu in flushing, NY, who needs $2,000 for Femoral Head Osteopathy Surgery.

Moki was a gift from my fiance'. I was going through severe anxiety that was making me physically sick. He thought she would help me. She has been my faithful companion ever since. She helped me pull out of the worst depression I had ever suffered when I lost my Father in a hit-and-run accident in 2013 on my birthday. She knew when I was hurting the most and she was always by my side comforting me

Moki needs surgery to fix her hip. I tripped and accidentally stepped on her. She wasn't where I had last seen her and I was trying to prevent Nyxie from making a mess with the beads I had been working on. Her screams broke my heart and all I could do was hold her and apologize over and over again. We took her straight to the vet where they told us how bad her injury was.

Moki which is short for Macchiato. Has been my tiny little hero. She has helped me through several crippling anxiety issues. She bonded with all my children, 3 of them had special needs. She has always been a joy to love and she has always known who needed her love and given it.

I am on disability and I survive month to month barely on what I get from SSI and TANIF. There is no way I can come up with the money for her much-needed hip surgery. The longer she goes without surgery the more impact it will have on her mobility and quality of life.
