Help Colleen with Charlie's medical bills

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Katie. My wonderful and amazing friend and colleague, Colleen Dougherty, is experiencing immense heartbreak from the loss of her pup Charlie. Colleen and Dave (her fiancé) did everything they could for their boy. While I know there is nothing that will truly help heal their pain, I am hoping this will help with the stress of the medical bills.

For those of you that might not know, Charlie has been battling chronic respiratory issues (chronic bronchitis) for a while now. Not only has he visited his favorite vet staff at HARP, but he has been back and forth to AVETS multiple times over the last month and a half until he could get in with a specialist. His AVETS visits lasted days, and he fought so hard. Sadly, a few days after the specialist appointment, Colleen had to rush him back to AVETS. Despite aggressive treatments, his poor lungs weren't able to keep up, and his O2 levels plummeted. He was only four years old.

She is such a caring and kind human being...not to mention a badass rehabber with turtle powers. I just want the chance to support her like she continually does for everyone around her. Even if you can't donate, please consider sharing this and send positive vibes to Colleen and Dave. It would mean the world to all of us who love and appreciate her here at HARP.
