Serenity is a 7 year old Boxer in Swansboro, NC, who needs $500 for Hematoma Drainage, Wound Care and Medication.

I rescued my dog Serenity with my fiancé about 7 years ago. She is our baby since we couldn't have children. Last year my fiancé passed away. She has passed in her sleep next to Serenity and I. She is basically all I have left. I am disabled and have limited income. I simply cannot afford to get her the care she needs. She is vital to my mental well-being as she is my ESA as well.

A few weeks back I noticed a small bump on her ear. I wasn't too concerned as hematomas happen in boxers all the time. I kept and eye on it and kept it clean. The small hematoma went away but a week ago another had appeared and is now has her ear completely filled with blood. Please see photos. This procedure is fairly simple involves draining the blood and antibiotics and allowing it to heal.

Serenity is my mental health lifeline. She is with me 24/7 and the only thing that makes me happy since the death of my fiancé. She is my reason for living at this time. She has helped me like no other person could, by her unconditional love and comfort.

When I found my fiance passed away, I had been hospitalized to deal with the grief, thus losing my job and falling into a downward spiral. I moved in with my brother and he supports me and Serenity until I can get back on my feet.
