Boy Sacrifices Pokemon Cards to Fund Treatment for His Cherished Puppy

Bryson Kliemann, an 8-year-old from Lebanon, Virginia, had a passion for all things Pokemon.

From watching Pokemon shows to collecting merchandise and cards, his love for the franchise was evident. But beyond Pokemon, he shared a deep bond with Bruce, his 4-month-old lab mix puppy.

Though Bruce was usually full of energy, he suddenly became lethargic. Concern grew when Bruce started refusing food and stayed cooped up in his kennel.

A trip to the vet revealed a devastating diagnosis: parvovirus, a deadly illness. The cure? A $700 treatment the Kliemanns couldn’t afford.

Not willing to give up on Bruce, Bryson made a heart-wrenching decision. He decided to sell his most cherished Pokemon card collection.

Setting up a stand with a “Pokemon 4 sale” sign, he managed to raise $65 on his first day. Word of Bryson’s cause spread, prompting his mother, Kimberly, to set up a GoFundMe page with an initial target of $800.
