Winnie is a 2-year-old Pomeranian in Santa Clarita, CA, who needs $2,000 for Kidney Removal.

Winnie is our two year old baby Pomeranian. We have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She is 5 pounds, red sable. We got her from a breeder in Phoenix, AZ as we couldn't afford to buy one in Cali. She is not a registered AKC - we just wanted a Pomeranian from a good breeder. We live in an upstairs condo with my boyfriend and our other older Pom mix, Monster.

Winnie Girl is a happy, chatty, bratty, intelligent, loving, bossy and hilarious little being. She thinks she runs the house, always ready to go for a walk, play, chase us around the house. She LOVES to go for walks and can easily do a two mile hike/run/walk. We go every day when the weather is cool. She loves everyone she encounters. She is very active and very talkative!

Because she is my BEST friend. I work from home so she is either on my lap or near my chair. She loves to give kisses. I have a sling that goes around my torso that I put her in and take her with me when I run errands-she LOVES this. She loves being held. Just looking at her little face makes me happy from the inside out. I have never had children - so she is my "kid."

On June 18 we rushed her to TrueCare ER in Studio City, CA for vomiting blood, they advised she had a bad kidney that needed repair ($12K) A week later it "deflated" and follow up appointment ($283) I was told it needed to be removed ($44000-$5500). She had it removed July 7th and the cost was $4405.

I have depleted my savings and maxed out my credit cards. I am not a "high income" person. I have spent a total of $7907. $4405 is on a credit card. I am so grateful my best friend/little girl/my heart is still alive.
