URGENT:
Tilly, my sweet babu, is a three and a half year old silly kitty (featured in the photo). Very energetic, interactive, and cuddly. All was fine as she went to bed one night during the holiday break but the next morning she was having some trouble breathing. It sounded like a hairball but it didn't get better.
I took her to the veterinarian clinic. They determined she had a diaphragmatic hernia. A tear occurred in her diaphragm and her stomach moved up above the diaphragm and into the chest cavity. The stomach had a lot of air/gas in it and that is why she had trouble breathing. It cost $280.25 for the bad news (Day 1).
The morning of Day 2 her breathing was a bit worse and she refused to eat or drink water. I called the vet and took her in. They took another x-ray, administered oxygen & fluids, and recommended an emergency operation. I had to agree. More tears. I began to sob. Fear for her and fear about paying the bill. The estimated cost is $2,474 "“ if all goes well. The diagnosis and procedure will wipe out my merger checking account. I'm not earning enough to pay my bills already (yes, I am ardently seeking other employment). I am panicked and frightened.
Please consider contributing towards Tilly's bills, which total over $2,754. UPDATE: March 2014, Tilly is back to normal. She is up to her normal weight and you'd never know that her life was in danger three months ago. She is silly and cuddly. Worth every penny, though I still haven't paid off the bill. UPDATE: JUNE 2014, Tilly is doing well but my finances aren't. Despite working two jobs, I am in danger of losing our home. I am extremely frugal but my dear sweet baboo has pushed us close to the cliff of financial insolvency. I wish that she would get a job... UPDATE: DEC 2014, Tilly is plump and sassy but our budget is not. We haven't recovered financially from this crisis. Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated!
Thank you again for sending positive thoughts and donations to Tilly! Please share with your friends, family, and network of fellow animal pet lovers. After I procure a better paying job I will double the amount donated and pass it onto a nonprofit charitable NGO which assists animals
MY STATUS:
Greetings, I am the working poor. I work a low-paying three-quarters time job at a nonprofit NGO organization that does not surpass the monthly bills, even though I live a very frugal lifestyle. Hit in June 2009 with a lay-off and struggled with unemployment and underemployment ever since. Despite having many years of experience and a college degree I have yet to be hired at a job that pays adequately. I have applied for hundreds of positions and been on myriad interviews. I stopped counting because it is too depressing and angst causing.
Blogging is a joyful experience but I respectfully request a gift. If my humble blog at www.imabmusing.blogspot.com has brought you information or emotion, please make a donation to the Ima B. Musing Fund cause. Zozo and Tilly, the cats, will also benefit from your generosity. They both need a visit to the veterinarian, and vaccinations. Plus, I need two tires for my 15-year-old auto and to pay off medical bills. Though I only procure absolute necessities, my reserves have dwindled down to the critical stage. I soon shall run into default, unless you assist.
I actively volunteer in the community, seek to publish an entertaining and informative blog, and support causes on my Facebook account. I coordinate the Art Mob Twin Cities MN group, which promotes local artists. I also guide the Petition to Establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the USA group, which advocates for the creation of a council to focus on healing the wounds caused by Native American Indian Boarding Schools.
Thank you kindly for your time and consideration of this blatant appeal. I greatly appreciate any gift that you can make. I promise double the gift and make donations to 501(c)3 nonprofit non-governmental charities as soon as I am able.
Best wishes in 2015,
Ima
