Help Save Bellas Life

Donation protected
I'll be the first to say that I understand this is a tough time for our entire Country .  That being said, our 5 year old Cane Corso mix, Bella, got herself really jacked up eating weeds in the backyard. I mistook her symptoms for bloat, and rushed her to a vet hospital. They did x-rays, and could see something that didn't belong. They kept her overnight on meds and an IV. The following day they said if I took her to a different pet hospital, they could do an endoscopy and retrieve the foreign object. I gladly took her to the 2nd pet hospital, where they suggested an Ultrasound to verify what they were dealing with. After the ultrasound, they performed an endoscopy and retrieved *some* weeds. Her stomach is full of them. They insisted she needed stomach surgery to cut her open and remove all of the weeds. At that point, we'd already spent $4500 we weren't expecting, and were nowhere closer to fixing her. I called around to multiple pet hospitals, and the surgery is anywhere from $3,000-6,000. 
Bella has a litter mate sibling Kane, as well as a little brother, Ghost. She's only 5, and I was told I either need to euthanize her, or get her the surgery ASAP. I feel awful asking for help while we're all struggling in our own ways, but I literally can't lose my baby girl during this too. She's not just a pet, she's been a best friend, a hiking buddy, she loves to camp, has to be the leader, she's the alpha of the dogs in the house (even though she's a girl), she tries her darndest to catch the squirrels, she's the best dog kisser, and the cleanest water drinker.
Time is of the essence. She's not wanting to eat food, she's not wanting to drink water. She's clearly uncomfortable. Please, if you can, find it in your heart to help me save my baby.
