Crosspost ok and greatly needed
If you can, please donate towards medical expenses for Bear (Shar pei/GSDX?) who is a Service Dog with cherry eyes and skin condition and whose guardian is seriously ill and low income. He means the world to her. Stacie is his contact (not me, I am merely onforwarding). Thank you.

Bear belongs to a woman with .... illness. Bear means everything to her (he actually is her service dog) but she cannot afford to get Bear the surgery he needs for his eyes (she is living on a very limited income). The vet indicated that Bear would have perfect vision if not for the "cherries." As you can see Bear also has a genetic skin condition that has been treated with cortisone.
Stacie has made arrangements for a vet to discount the costs of the surgery to $350.00 which includes the blood work costs! She also arranged for donations to go directly to the vet:
