Help Roxy Fight IVDD
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Roxy and my parents love me more than anything in the world, and I love everyone in the world.
I was born with Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), and 15 months ago, I had my first disc herniation and surgery. Then, only four months after that surgery, another disc herniated and I was back on the operating table. Ten months after the second surgery, just a few days ago, on July 25, ANOTHER disc herniated, and back to the Neurosurgeon, I went.
I don't understand why this has happened three times within just 15 months, or at all, but the Neurosurgeon says I have several malformations in my spine, calcification throughout and degeneration of my lumbar and sacral areas - not a great prognosis, but here we are.
My parents haven't felt comfortable asking for help, but even with my pet insurance, these surgeries, along with the physical therapy and follow-up visits have been financially overwhelming for them.
Donations will go to help offset the cost of the three surgeries:
Surgery 1: Performed 5/19/22
Amount: $7,700.27
Surgery 2: Performed 9/1/22
Amount: $8,110.67
Surgery 3: Performed 7/25/23
Amount: $9165.65
Total amount of all three surgeries: $24,976.59
My parents call me a love bug because love is the only thing that matters to me, and we all know, love is truly everything. So, if you aren't able to donate, it's okay, and if you can, anything is helpful.
Yours truly,
Roxy the love bug
