Leo

Leo’s fight with lymphoma began during one of the hardest times in his owner Nacole’s life. After a difficult divorce, Leo had been her constant companion—the friend who made her feel safe and loved. Just as her oldest daughter left for college, Leo was diagnosed with lymphoma, and breathing became a struggle. Nights were sleepless, and despite cooking homemade meals and doing everything she could, Nacole quickly ran out of resources. With savings gone and credit cards maxed, Leo eventually went into remission, only to relapse a few months later. This time, there was nothing left—until Toby’s Hope stepped in. The call that his second round of chemotherapy would be covered brought Nacole to tears. The support allowed Leo to begin a new, lighter treatment cycle and brought immediate relief, both physically for Leo and emotionally for Nacole.
