My "Request"As I mentioned in my last journal entry my request isn't up yet, but I thought I would write this anyway...
I need $1000 to $3000 to pay for my dog Willow's eye surgery.
My goal is to recieve maybe $30 from 30 people ($1000) to $30 from 100 people ($3000)
HOW YOU CAN HELP: First of all, if Willow doesn't get her eye surgery she will go blind in her right eye. If you donate money to this cause you will be helping save a dachshund's eye from permanent damage, and bettering her life.
I should explain further. With her condition she basically has deformed bottom eyelids that the vet calls coloboma. The exta skin on the lower lids causes her lower eyelashes to grow directly obto her eyeball. So she is in constant pain. You know it feels to get an eyelash stuck in you eye for a few minutes, and how it is hard to concentrate on anything except getting the eyelash out? Well for Willow it is like that but with a lot of eyelashes on both of her eyes that are constantly there and cannot be removed/ fixed without an eyesurgery. So she is in constant discomfort and according to the vet constant pain...
Also since this is a one time expense, once Willow has gotten the surgery the "request" will be deleted, and some of the extra money will go towards supplies for Willow like food, and the rest I have will either go to the Oregon Dachshund Rescue, or to my best friend Stephanie so that she can get her horse's surgery. So You may possibly be helping a total of three recipients in one donation. So please consider donating to my cause, as I believe it is very worthy. By donating you would be helping her get her eyelashes out of her eyes. I know it isn't up and running yet, but as soon as it is I will let everyone know. :)
