About this campaign

Roo Roo was born with an abnormal jaw formation through no fault of her own. As she continues to grow without surgery her jaw will become increasingly worse until she will no longer be able to properly eat and she will starve to death. Hen her baby teeth fall out her adult teeth will grow into the soft part of her upper mouth.

Roo Roo has been my comfort, my support animal if you would. I am a retired member of the Army and have PTSD. She is always there to cuddle and comfort me whenever I need it. She sleeps with me in bed every night and lays on my shoulder or cups herself around my neck so I continually hear her purring in my ear.

Due to my PTSD I have anxiety attacks at times. When this happens she sits on my should or wraps her body around my neck and purrs like a machine. She is my support animal, if you will say. She keeps me calm at night and helps me when I'm having anxiety. I can imagine what i would do without her, or bond is very strong and goes beyond words to explain.

She is losing capability of opening her jaw due to her jaw shifting to the left. The is a major disalignment. Her bottom left teeth actually align with the middle of her mouth. Open her baby teeth fall out her adult teeth will start to grown into her upper jaw. The doctors said she needs CT Scan and then surgery. She is a patient at Rowan Animal Hospital. And needs the CT Scan done at Bedrock VeteranerianSpecialists

I am an Army Veteran living on a fixed income and am not able to afford the work she needs done. To know that without this proceedure she will die on starvation is killing me inside. I am beside myself with stress and grief.
