A Cancer Diagnosis and a Job Loss—Help Nala Keep Fighting

Meet Nala, a sweet and loving five-year-old Boxer mix whose joyful spirit has brought endless happiness to her family. Today, that same bright, affectionate girl is facing the fight of her life. Nala has been diagnosed with lymphoma, an aggressive cancer that requires immediate treatment. The good news? With chemotherapy, Nala has a real chance—not just to survive, but to continue living the happy, love-filled life she deserves. But time is critical.

Nala urgently needs chemotherapy, with total treatment costs estimated at $3,347. Thanks to a $300 grant from Paws 4 A Cure and the incredible generosity of supporters so far, her family is close—but they still need $500 to move forward with the care that could save her life.

Nala’s diagnosis came as a devastating shock. Just months ago, her family noticed something wasn’t right—she was drinking excessive amounts of water. What started as a routine vet visit quickly turned into something much more serious. After testing and referrals to specialists, the answer came back: cancer.

As if that heartbreak wasn’t enough, Nala’s dad—a veteran who had worked steadily for 40 years—lost his job the day before her diagnosis.

In an instant, everything changed. Despite the emotional and financial strain, Nala’s family refused to give up on her. With the help of loved ones, small fundraisers, and support from organizations like Paws 4 A Cure, they’ve been able to start her treatment—but they can’t finish this fight alone. And Nala is worth fighting for.

She is their “big baby”—funny, gentle, and endlessly loving. She’s not just a pet; she’s family. The thought of losing her is unbearable, and her family is doing everything in their power to give her more time, more love, and more life.
