What is FHO? An FHO, or femoral head ostectomy, is a surgical procedure that aims to restore pain-free mobility to a diseased or damaged hip, by removing the head and neck of the femur (the long leg bone or thighbone).
Currently I have spent:

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am Jessica, I’m 21 in June, I’m just starting out in life so my financial situation is not capable of taking on this nightmare! I’m currently working part-time as a barista. I got Odie in September of 2020, (he’s about 8-9 months now). He is a corgi mixed with chihuahua, I won’t lie it’s the friggin’ ears that got me! I initially got him as an emotionally support animal so I had a companion throughout my therapy. I’ve brought him to nearly every appointment! Dogs need jobs, especially herders. His job is simply being my best friend, he’s treated me better than any PERSON I’ve ever met. I know he always has my back, now it’s time for me to have his.
