Kodi's Surgery Bills

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I'm fundraising for my sweet 1-year-old Lab's surgeries.

Kodi is our first family dog and he means the world to us.

Unfortunately, we did not expect our first year of puppyhood to turn out this way.

At 11 months Kodi was diagnosed with bilateral tears of the Cranial Cruciate Ligaments (doggie ACL). Only to find that his insurance provider

(Pets Best Progressive) has deemed this type of injury to be a pre-existing condition and has denied all coverage for his surgeries or

aftercare treatment.

After visiting a board-certified orthopedic surgeon it was recommended that TPLO surgery was the most viable option (considering his age, weight and level of

activity).

Receiving that news was heartbreaking but we decided that having an active and pain-free life for our boy is what he deserves.

I put both surgeries on my credit card in the hopes of paying it off eventually:

-First TPLO surgery was on 12/20/22 for $5,449.

-Second TPLO surgery was on 03/01/23 for $5,503.

Come to find that we are not so lucky and things do not always go according to plan...

-In early January my husband Derrick was rear-ended on the way to work (resulting in a totaled vehicle with neck and back injuries)

-Exactly one week later I slipped and fell in our driveway (breaking my ankle in two places, and requiring surgery)

-And, two weeks after my accident I was let go from my job because of the undetermined recovery period

As you can probably guess we are now being slammed with medical bills from all angles. We do not expect any help but it is much appreciated.

Thank you in advance and I appreciate your time!
