Yenney Caballero, a passionate animal advocate, issued an urgent plea last Friday to raise 18,000 pesos needed for a surgery on a puppy named Simba, who suffers from a bone fracture. The goal is to restore the puppy's ability to walk normally.
Caballero explained on Facebook that Simba, a street rescue, “has a transverse femur fracture that requires osteosynthesis, needing a plate with screws or external skeletal fixators.”
“We have this wonderful mission to ensure that this little one can walk again without issues, and that his pain is relieved through this surgery,” said the advocate, urging supporters to contribute to the procedure scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Known for her unwavering love for animals, Caballero asked the community to refrain from negative comments, as they could negatively impact the puppy's chances for surgery. She emphasized that the primary goal is to secure the operation for Simba’s recovery.
Additionally, she encouraged people to help in various ways: by sharing the post, donating, or offering words of support. "On this page, we save lives; we are a beacon of hope for many animals in need," she added, underscoring the importance of solidarity at this critical time.
She provided the CUP card number for donations: 9238129976677130, and requested that donors confirm their contributions by calling 53969647.
Recently, Caballero also rallied the Cuban animal defender community to financially support the surgery of another puppy who suffered a bone fracture from a fall. She sought to raise 16,500 pesos for a puppy with a radial and ulnar fracture.
