Bird update. No answers.

Going back next week for blood tests and x-rays. Taking blood and going under general anesthesia can be really risky for little guys, so still lots to be nervous about.

But for a week I’m just going to try to keep him as happy as possible. Which starts with fireworks all night, yay /s

[gillipop-plus]

you're a cat which means you're crepusculal. this means you sleep more while hoomans are having their third meal, so you get two meals that are big instead. if you think you're being mistreated, i recommend talking to your vet via text.

hay googles. how get more snaks?

please help me pay my kitties emergency vet bill!

ive never done this before but one of my cats just had to get an extremely sudden emergency procedure and i don't know what to do, my vet and i have reached out to a couple incredible programs here to help with the bill but one is less than half and the other hasn't replied back yet, i've already declined the blood work (CA$356) to lower the bill at the risk of possible underlying liver and kidney issues not being found but its still a monumental amount for us right now. i just feel so helpless

we had enough to pay the minimum deposit to get the procedure started in time thankfully, but we were already scraping by as it is and now we're in desperate need of funds to eat/pay rent/pay off any remainder of the bill. i am disabled without aid and have been unable to work/haven't worked since 2015 but am on track to hopefully start working pt this fall. i live with my mom who has 3-4 jobs including one seasonal job which needless to say is stressful and wearing her down. we unfortunately are stuck in the most expensive place to live in canada with the inability to save up to flee so the cycle is never ending.

this is Teddy, my typically very silly vocal happy boy who's not quite 2 yet, my comfort king, my little muffin who acts like a weighted blanket for me at night and eases my anxiety, his favourite toy is his pink unicorn poof, he loves car rides and he can shake paw!

he got a sudden urinary blockage last night with no straight answer as to why and progressively got worse as the night went on, i didnt sleep at all, i was panicking and bawling, naturally, and raced to the vet to get in as soon as the door opened. i assumed it was a uti which wouldn't have been as costly, but it turned out to be much more severe and life threatening. i never expected my usually extremely healthy boy to suddenly be at risk of that and im still trying to just process whats been happening

he needed to be sedated and given a catheter and some medication, the total bill came to CA$985.62, of which we were barely able to pay 500 of, and one program was able to donate 300 leaving a total of CA$185.62 for the bill. this, of course, leaves us scrambling for food and rent as well

i know there are a lot of fundraisers out there needing donations right now, and i really hate letting myself be so open and raw like this but even a dollar would help tremendously and i would be forever grateful for any help whatsoever, even a rb to signal boost is greatly appreciated <3

TLDR; my cat had a sudden life threatening issue and now we can't pay the full vet bill or pay for food/rent

Hi everyone,

For those of you who don't know, my darling cat Sage was diagnosed with lymphoma last week, by Sunday he couldn't walk by himself and wasn't eating and so we made the decision to have him put to sleep. He passed peacefully at home in my arms, and is now buried with his sister who died last November. I miss them both, and his absence is really hard to get used to.

I was already off work with my mental health so not getting full pay, and due to the time it took us to work out what was wrong with him, the diagnostic tests, medication, and ultimately having him put to sleep I've spent just over £1200 in vets fees. Because of his age and pre-existing illnesses his insurance won't cover it, and while I'm doing my best to negotiate with them I don't think I'm going to get anything out of it.

If you are able and would like to help with vets fees, then we'd be very grateful, my PayPal is here and my ko-fi is here.

It isn't as time sensitive as my previous, especially now he's passed and failure to pay won't harm him, but I need to take care of my own disability needs too and not being at work on full pay leaves me in a worse situation than I otherwise would be in, so any help (only if you are able and willing) is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading, I'm sorry the news isn't happier, and any love sent our way will definitely be felt 💜

Help Dina and her children survive through war 🍉🕊️

[Image ID: Screenshot from Dina's (@dina179) GoFundMe page, titled "Help Dina and her children survive through war". The header picture shows a compilation of three photos of Dina's children. From left to right: Omar, Farah and Noor. The campaign is organized by Simran K, on behalf of Emily Seward, and it has raised $9,034CAD from its $20,000 goal by 414 donations. /End ID]

---

This campaign has been vetted by fairuzfan and El-Shab-Hussein and Nabulsi's "Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser" list (#245)

Dina has messaged me asking me to share her campaign. Please read what she has shared.

Dina, Noor, Omar and Farah's story

Dina's a mother of three: the oldest, Noor, who's 7-years old; her second, Omar, who's 5-years old; and her youngest whom she gave birth under bombing recently, Farah.

[Image ID: Collage of three pictures of Dina's children. From left to right: Noor smiling at the camera; Dina holding Farah in the air as the sun comes down on the beach; Omar looking to the right. /end ID]

On the night of October 28th, their neighborhood in Gaza was completely bombed. It was subjected to violent severe shelling, shattering glass all over the place and spreading suffocating gunpowder in their house. Omar was wounded by the shattered glass caused by the intense shelling.

Since then, they've been continually displaced; goods became scarce and expensive. Her children suffered from epidemics and skin diseases caused by the pollution in the camp. Noor was infected with viral hepatitis as a result of the shared bathrooms. Omar recently got struck by blisters all over his body. There is no hospital or treatment available due to the situation.

[Image ID: Close-up photos of Omar's face, near his mouth, showing his skin covered in blisters. /End ID]

Dina's wish is to create and ensure a better, safer future for her children, where they can live their childhoods gleefully.

Leaving Gaza is the only way they can achieve this.

As always, I invite you to read hew story in her own words and follow her blog for update @dina179. It's the least we could do.

However, there's been a continuous problems, and that is that her posts have barely gotten any traction, only receiving small donations here and there.

[Image ID: Screenshot's from Dina's Tumblr blog, showing four posts with low amounts of notes.

Image 1: 90 notes

Image 2: 2462 notes

Image 3: 99 notes

Image 4: 200 notes. /end ID]

This puts at constant vulnerable and delicate position. Like any other children, they deserve to live in peace, happy and free.

I urge to PLEASE share and donate to Dina's post to ensure a better future for Noor, Farah, Omar, her husband and her. They need to escape

URGENT: Pregnant mother and her four children in Gaza are burned and without shelter (verified)

Samira (@samiraayman5, @samira-family) is a pregnant mother with four children -- she and her children were sleeping rough after being displaced from their home in North Gaza multiple times, and when she finally managed to raise enough money to buy a tent for them to sleep in, it was burned by the occupation in a bombing of Al-Aqsa Hospital where they were sheltering, and so were her children.

Now Samira and her family are once again without shelter as winter approaches and the temperature is dropping, and her children also need burn medicine, which is approximately $400 due to scarcity, an expense that is on top of the exorbitant cost of food, and the money required to get another tent, as they're currently having to sleep on the hard ground.

Samira is afraid she will give birth not in hospital, or even in a tent, but on the dirty ground: this is extremely dangerous not just because of how unhygienic it is, but because of the serious diseases that are rampant in the Gaza Strip - including Hepatitis C - and Samira's anaemia and asthma, conditions caused by the displacement and suffering of the past year.

At the time of writing (4th November 2024), Samira has raised $2,959 USD out of her current goal of $20,000 USD.

The $400 for the burn medicine is needed URGENTLY so her children can heal from their injuries and avoid infection, as is the money for a tent so Samira does not have to give birth on the ground without even a mattress or tarp - tents in Gaza are currently selling for hundreds of USD, so realistically Samira needs to raise at least $1000 USD as quickly as possible.

If you can give anything to help Samira provide for her children and see to their basic needs, please donate to her gofundme (link: https://gofund.me/18a035a1 verification by @90-ghost) -- she is in great need, like so many others, and has nowhere else to turn.

Okay, as an animal lover myself I Need to get serious. Heads up, because we will be discussing losing a pet.

I was asked to make a campaign post for @asmaayyad2, like many families in Gaza, hers and her family's lives have been upended by the war.

Their GoFundMe describes how they fled to the south, all 8 of them and their beloved Cat, who sadly passed away due to lack of resources.

Timur, was a dear companion to this family. Just as my cats, and all my animals are to me. My heart hurts that he couldn't be saved, but it's not too late to save Asma and her family.

Please, consider donating at the campaign that can be found through the link below.

They are about 61% to their goal.

I'm trying something new. Since you're here, check this out:

Please read @ shahdgazas-blog 's story and share. They are a family trying to survive in Gaza; one member is a 14 year old girl with autism and kidney failure, who needs special treatment.

This is a vetted fundraiser and is low on funds, ($1,653/$20,000). more info under cut.

"I am the mother of a family consisting of 8 people. I have a little girl who is 14 years old, her name is Farah. Help her to escape from death. She suffers from kidney failure and autism. She is a person with special needs. She has a motor and mental disability. I ask you to contribute to alleviating my suffering. Have a good night’s sleep, as she does not know how to sleep. I live in Palestine. In Gaza City, amidst the horrors of destruction and hunger that are tearing us apart, and the mysterious and terrifying anxiety, there is a lot of sadness and pain in my country, and fear restricts our thoughts every hour. We wonder: Will we die? Will we live? Will my child die from her chronic illness? Are we all going to die? We are truly suffering. Winter will come, and I will not have a shelter to protect my family.

I hope to live a decent life and enjoy support and help. The inevitable death befalls me, my family, and my little girl every time and day. She needs permanent treatment, medicines, detergents, diapers, and special food. Kidney disease is a chronic disease to escape dialysis. I have no ability to buy her needs. I am tormented by staying in the hospital permanently. The kidneys evade potassium and air. A dangerous element that leads to death and cardiac arrest.

I have been living with an early awarenesssince her birth of the inevitability of death from this disease, accompanied by the fear of waking up to losing her and losing her life. My little girl is certain that she is heading towards death in the absence of treatment possibilities and the availability of her requirements and that the expected end of her illness journey. I ask God for everyone who helps me not to complain of pain. Sickness, you do not know it. When sickness visits you, the world becomes smaller before your eyes, and all your wishes become insignificant in the face of health, and to see your child playing and enjoying good health. I am looking for someone to help me to alleviate the painful reality. We are suffering from my heartbreak for my sick child. She is lost before my eyes, and my homeland is devastated.

The goal I want: Protect my children from harm and save my little girl from illness and live to the shore."

This campaign is donation protected. Please share and donate if you are able!

so uh, in a short time span of events tonight, tomarrow I get to: (1) report an asshole to the police/animal control for animal cruelty and (2) take an abandoned, malnourished, diseased and infected but socially friendly fella who's too lethargic to be comfortable to the Good Vet tomarrow to get completely checked out

and (3) my family gained an attatchment immediatly after holding him so I'm pretty sure we just gained a new cat friend

[leoandreeda]

Please, help me save my Rudy.

This is my pet, Rudy. She got hit by a bus a couple days ago and needs tests and surgeries that are too expensive for me and my family alone.

This was Rudy yesterday. She's awake and may look alright but all the problems she has are on the inside.

We can't have her home (she needs surgeries) and she hasn't been able to sleep without the meds unless we visit her. She even fell asleep in my mom's hand.

Please help us with anything. I'll be eternally grateful.

Shares are very appreciated too.

Help Covering Smokey's Vet + Post-Death Bills

Hey, everyone. I hate having to make a post like this, but we could use some help covering all of the vet + post death care Smokey needed. We had to pay about 1K in the span of a week and it took a toll on us.

If you prefer to help and get something in return, I'm accepting commissions for October completion. Pricing can be found on my pinned post.

Any help truly is appreciated as this was a very unforeseen loss.
