Help Seri Cover Expenses During Recovery

Donation protected
As some of you know, Seri of the Grooming Gallery/Gallery Gekkos/Creature Care Cards is having major surgery. She has to have an abdominal surgery to fix some ongoing health issues and because of the physical nature of her work (standing for long periods, lifting and bending and wrestling dogs) she will have to be off work for 2 months. She has run a successful dog grooming business (The Grooming Gallery) for the last 26 years but because she is self employed it's not like she has sick pay or paid time off at all. Anything unexpected is stressful but 2 months of unexpected time off is VERY stressful. The bills still have to be paid. She still has to pay the expenses of that business, her own living expenses, travel to and from follow up appointments 4 hours away, hotel stays for surgery and follow up appointments, boarding expenses for her Corgis, as well as food for her many reptiles during the time she must be off of work. That's where we come in.

Please contribute what you are able and no amount is too small to help. Anything you're able to contribute is so helpful and so appreciated. It's not easy to ask for help but it does feel so wonderful to have others be willing to help you. It also feels wonderful to be able to help others. Because I know everyone who meets her loves Seri, I know that many of us have wanted to help in some way. Now you can! #EverybodyLovesSeri
