Natalia Marie is a 12 year old Mix-Breed in San Francisco, CA, who needs $25,000 for Cruciate Repair Surgery - Extra Capsular or TPLO.

My name is Josh Frazier and my 12-year-old service dog's name is Natalia Marie. Natalia came into my life in 2014 at a time when I was at my absolute lowest. I was homeless strung out on meth why variety of other drugs. She saved me from homelessness and drug use and we are currently living in a transitional living facility waiting for permanent housing. She's the light of my life My whole world!

We were walking at Golden gate Park in San Francisco when I decided to let her run in one of the big open fields we decided to play fetch I threw the stick a second time she ran after it got about 30 ft away from me yelped rolled and couldn't walk back to me went to the vet paid out of pocket $1,200 which was everything I had and now we're looking at a $8,000 plus orthopedic surgery bill.

My Natalia Marie is extremely special because she saw something in me that changed my life she saved me from homelessness she saved me from drug addiction and without this dog I would still be homeless on the streets and addicted to drugs she's helped me get clean and sober and has helped me through my first semester of college without her I don't know where I would be with my life she's my child!

I live on SSI food stamps and financial aid from school so having to pay $8,000 plus surgery is not feasible on my income. What the help of my internet family my service dog will be able to walk and play and live our best life! Even a dollar would mean the world to us thanks
