What a wonderful family and wonderful people that helped. I'm glad that story has a happy ending.

I graduated college in May 2003 and my parents were planning a big graduation party for me. Angie, my Shih Tzu, got sick in June 2003 and I cancelled the party and used the money to try to get her well. She ended up having a blood disease and passed away three days later. The bills were a lot, but nowhere near $7,000. I didn't mind giving up my party even though Angie died. I was upset that she was gone, but I couldn't have lived with myself if I didn't do everything I possibly could for her. There was enough money left for me to get Sylvia though.
