Rosie Rush!!!

Update 1: On Track for Diagnosis

It’s Monday, November 25th, 2024.


At the time of writing, we have raised $785 through GoFundMe, and an additional $360 through other channels.
The total so far: $1145. This is phenomenal-
I was not expecting such a huge wave of support. Thank you all.

But this amount is not yet enough to have a full CT + tissue sample ($1400-$1700)
It’s not even at the minimum estimate given for just a CT scan ($1200-$1500).

But I feel like we are on-track to have Rosie get a full package by next Monday. I still have a lot of campaigning to do- I have yet to even place physical posters up around town and on-campus. We just have to work hard to keep the momentum that’s been shown, so Rosie can keep getting the best care possible throughout this emergency.

CT Scan + Tissue Sampling Confirmed!

With this confidence in mind, I called the Animal Health Center on-campus just before 11AM to confirm that the full package- CT Scanning and tissue sampling, the best possible diagnosis, Was what we were going for– Only enabled by having raised the funds to do so.
This would have not been possible without your donations. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I was not available to get Rosie in this week like I had hoped-
Her full diagnosis is scheduled for Monday, December 2nd, 2024 at 7:30AM. I will be working hard this week to fulfill that promise.

Vet Visit #3

In the meantime, Rosie has a scheduled appointment with her regular veterinarian this Wednesday morning for a stain check- Just to check on the state of her eye.
Finally, I have invested in an inflatable cone for Rosie, so she can be more comfortable and free than her stock plastic cone.

I will continue to keep everybody updated, At least weekly or whenever any news arises.


If you are able to and haven’t done so, please consider donating to Rosie.
All public donors will be enshrined on Rosie’s webpage, too.

If you cannot donate, sharing really does help. Rosie needs all the visibility she can get.

Thank you,
- Wolfgang de Groot and Rosalind “Rosie” Franklin
