Bella needs TPLO surgery, both back knees

Donation protected
Hi this is Bella, she is 2 years old. My husband and I found out she has deformed back knees and needs surgery on both. We noticed her instability as she grew and was misdiagnosed in the early stages. After quite a few months she became more lame and limped heavily no longer able to walk two blocks. Last week we found out she needed surgery to reshape the bones and fix tendon tears caused by her deformity. Part of her knee are too large causing micro tears. We can't afford the amount the surgeon(Edinger Surgical Options) needs. Please help! We can't bear to see her in this amount of pain.

Update: Great news! We ran a garage sale with donated goods and items I had. We raised $566 from that, this includes sold items and separate donations. Thank you all who donated this weekend at the garage sale! This brings us this much closer to our goals and Bella's surgery! This brought the total amount needed for the GoFundMe from $10,538 down to $9,972. Will edit as I collect the donation boxes.

We also have donation boxes around the area for others to donate what they can, every penny counts.

I wanted to extend a huge thank you to my sister Sabrina for hosting the garage sale with me to help raise money, she was on a busy street and this went a long way!

Another huge thank you to Jenn and Reagan for helping raise money with dog toys and helping collect additional goods for the garage sale! Thank you to everyone who donated their goods to the garage sale, this helped tremendously!

Hi, just wanted to provide another update. Cash donations now are at $1,288.94, this brings our goal down to $8,743.06. we still have a long road to go to get Bella the surgery she needs. Any small amount helps! Thank you all!

Hi everyone! Thank you all again so much for sharing/donating/both! We were approved for $2,000 in Care Credit. We are now up to $1997 between saving and donations! With GFM donations of $1320 as of today, we are almost halfway there. We are still in need of $5221! Between us saving and others helping, we got this! Wanted to make sure everyone wanting an update got one! God bless you all!

Update! With the amount we are able to save, we are projected to save enough by beginning to end of June God providing no major financial expenses arise! Please pray God provides and we can hit that projection if not sooner!
