My friend lost her husband recently (well about 7-8 months ago) and is struggling to stay on her feet while caring for her 2 kids & dog.
Her dog Brutus (a rescued american bulldog, a sweetie pie) has extremely bad allergies and needs to be on a special food and receive medication. My friend can afford one or the other but not both. But without one the other doesn't work.
I have offered to buy her some food but I can't afford to buy it all the time. Is there anywhere she can go or somewhere I can look into to find her some help?
She has tried her vet & they did help. They gave her food for 2 months & 4 months of medication. But thats all they can do. She went to her church and they helped her out with one month of food & medication. Now she can't find anyone to help.
She's feeding her dog whatever is on sale, it's Alpo right now, as that is all she can afford right now. Things ARE improving for her just very slowly.
Anyways I went to visit last night & I couldn't believe my eyes. Poor Brutus is loosing his hair, is all red & itchy & scabby. He's still a big happy goof ball but he's got to be very uncomfortable.
Does anyone know of any organization or the like that will help? Or some fund raiser that I can do legally to help her out? I've never set up & hosted a fund raiser before. Anything. She and the dog both deserve this.
