Pals, this is the story of Berkeley, the SUPER cute 5 year old Pembroke boy who hasn't been feeling very well lately. Seriously, how cute is he? Here is Berkeley's story in the words of Corgi Dad Mark:

"We have a 5 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Berkeley and he is very sick. He has been diagnosed with Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (His immune system is attacking his red blood cells). He is currently in the hospital and just received a second blood transfusion. We are hopeful that this will give his medication time to kick in and get his immune system under control. Our issue now is the ever-increasing costs associated with this medical emergency. We love our little Corgi and hope he comes home soon, but we are also concerned because our expenses increase with each additional day in the hospital."

We received that email in the middle of August. By August 21st Berkeley was back home with his family and he has been continuing to improve every day ever since. Unfortunately, the costs incurred by Berkeley's family for his care totaled well over a staggering $8,000 including a monthly cost of over $400 for his medications. Needless to say, they need some help with that. Since Berkeley does not have a form of cancer, our financial aid cap for him is set to $3,000. Believe me when I say, this family is more than deserving of some financial assistance.

We've set Berkeley's fundraising goal to $3,300 to cover his goal plus the Fundrazr and PayPal fees incurred with donations. Please spread the word for this adorable boy, and donate if you can!
