An Angel In Need

My name is Brock Wood and I’m creating this gofundme for a couple of angels near and dear to me. One can’t talk to ask for help and the other would never ever ask for it on her own. But sometimes we all need a little help, including angels. My friend Cassie Weber and her furbaby Tank, are those angels.

I met Cassie many years ago at the dog park when her boy Wilbur and my hotmess express, Chance, became bffs. Consequently, so did Cassie and I. We have been through a lot together over the years, both good and bad, and Cassie is unlike any other human I have ever met. She has truly been a blessing in my life. She was with me when we lost 5 of our furbabies in the same year. She held my hand, let me scream and cry, and she cried with me. She has been my ride or die since the day we met.

Her passion and love for dogs, primarily the underdogs and the outcasts of society, is unlike any I’ve ever encountered. She is truly an Angel to the dogs that the world has thrown away. She has rescued, rehabilitated, rehomed, and spent more of her own money on homeless animals in need than I can count. She is an advocate of those that cannot speak and truly connects with these lost souls like only an Angel can. In all of the years I’ve known Cassie, she has never once asked anyone for anything, least all money. Especially when it comes to her own furbabies. She is prideful and she understands the responsibility and expense that comes with having animals. She and I have this in common. She has spent tens of thousands of dollars, many times putting her own needs aside, to make sure her fur children have the very best of the best. I know she has gone into debt when it comes to the welfare of her children. But now my friend needs help. She would never ask for it on her own, and I hope she doesn’t hate me when she finds out I've started this campaign for her.

Her baby, Tank, needs help. He’s a big ol’ goofball of a chocolate lab that recently had his left eye removed due to cancer. It started with a tumor on his third eyelid, but quickly spread and the vets ended up needing to take his entire eye. But the trooper that he is, is not giving up. The cancer quickly came back after the surgery and they need help for Tank's continued treatment. A treatment that the doctors are confident can give this big cuddle bug the few more years he deserves. We all know that our pets can’t live forever. And Cassie knows this. But Tank has so much life left to live. He has been an angel in his own right as a foster brother to SOOOOOO many abused, neglected, and abandoned dogs. He has helped them all overcome horrible situations and find amazing forever homes of their own. His work here on this planet is not yet done!

It’s heartbreaking to know your child is hurting especially when they can’t tell you exactly where it hurts. And it hurts even more knowing that you can’t afford to make it all better. Kisses, hugs, and love only go so far. Cassie and her partner are trying their damnedest to pull together the $6000 they need to save their baby. They have maxed out credit cards, applied for grants and other funding help, so they most certainly are not sitting by doing nothing. But they need our help this time. I don’t ask for much from my friends especially when it comes to money. But I am asking you all this time to please help me help my friend. If I had it, you can bet your ass, I’d give it all to her right now with no hesitation, but unfortunately I can’t do that.

Time is of the essence. Tank needs our help now. I know that life is expensive and the world is nutty right now.... I get it! I struggle too. But I’m so grateful for the little I do have and I know my friend needs it right now, just a little more than I do. I ask you to please donate whatever you can to help my friend and her baby. It would truly mean the world to me. ❤️. And if ever YOU are in need, please know I will always be there to help in the best way that I can. Thank you all.
