Heartwarming Post 💛

FOURTEEN ✨

"My angel Key turned 14, and I wanted to thank you directly for making this possible.

"Since 2017, when he was diagnosed with lymphoma grade 3 + melanoma in Venezuela and given no more than 6 months to live, I moved heaven and earth to bring him all the way to the amazing Flint Animal Cancer Center at CSU VTH

"At CSU, he’s had many procedures with different departments over the years and even developed new cancers and other matters that you all stopped right on time. Every time, the staff (from reception to students and doctors) has provided the best care in the world and in such a loving way. None of this would have been possible without you!" - Caro, Key's owner

Key just had a big 14th birthday celebration with a mountain picnic. We're so grateful for all the life Key has been able to live since beating cancer!❤️
