Coins 4 Cole and Love for Sharon

Donation protected
Sharon is not aware that this is occurring and I’m hoping that I can soon present her with a huge Payment to assist with her bills. I would help out more if I could and I am working OT shifts almost everyday but it will take me a 5-6 months to be able to reach the goal alone. I have this fundraiser , working OT, trying to win some cash draws. Etc. Trying any angle to raise money to help her out. Thank you in advance

UPDATE: The cat's out of the bag! Thanks to the joys of the internet, Sharon is now aware of this campaign and asked me to pass on her thanks to everyone for their help. Between her father's passing, Cole's medical needs, the anniversary of her mom's passing, an unexpected car repair, and more, this has been a very difficult start to 2021.

Cole


Cole and his big brother Henry (tabby)



Cole is a very loving, energetic, snuggly 2 yr old  

He was rushed to the Animal Hosptial in Sherwood Park ( Edmonton ) Alberta  on Monday Jan 11

He had not eaten or drank for 24 hours and after consulting with a vet clinic , he was rushed, by Sharon, to the hospital 

Sharon is a mom to a wonderful tween girl and two cats (boys). Sharon has been off work for two years with a major head Injury / concussion  

Sharon’s a Loving caring and selfless person.  She has been supporting her daughter schooling during the pandemic and drives her to and from, when they are in school learning

Sharon just last week lost her father after along battle with illness.  He was in a home, caught covid last week and it contributed to him passing away  

Sharon has done the best she can with her injury,being on LTD and taking care of the daughter and cats 

Her father passing was somewhat expected to occur but still never easy to deal with.  

Cole illness has come out of left field and she can not afford to lose her cat.  He is her baby “boy”

I am begging you for your help,  to try and lessen the financial stress and burden she is facing , between emergency surgery ( to which she is having to take a vet loan for) and the stress of finalizing her fathers affairs.  

Please help with any amount you can.

 I know it’s been a rough year for us all. 

I will make a personal donation of 10% of the final total raised , up to the 5000 goal ( or max 500 donations myself ).

UPDATE JAN 12

Cole made it out of surgery .   He is very lathargic and not eating or drinking.  This is unlike Cole as he is a cat that loves to do zooming and even play fetch. He needs to have Feeding tube for the next 24/36 hours.  This Just means Increase cost on top of surgery.

UPDATE JAN 15 

Cole was able to come home on Jan 13. He is on pain killers, having lots of cuddle time.  Eating and drinking in small portions but getting stronger with each day.  He has 10 days before his staples come out 

In typical Cole fashion he has already taken his cone off and chewed it, So Sharon made a modified cone/ neck pillow that he doesn’t mind 

UPDATE JAN  20

Cole is done taking his pain killers and will be getting his stitches out on the weekend. He is feeling better but still as long road of recovery to be back to his normal self 

A recent photo of Cole waiting for his BTS. Bedtime snack. “Human.  Feed me. What is taking so long? “. 



UPDATE JAN 24: The vet made a home visit today and removed all of Cole's staples and stitches. He was a model patient, being held on his back for almost half an hour while the vet patiently and meticulously pulled all of the staples out. Today is also the anniversary of Sharon's mom's passing. A difficult day all around. (See FB screen shot below)





UPDATE FEB 6:   The obituary of Sharon's dad was posted by the local Vernon B.C. paper.

UPDATE FEB 8: Cole is doing great! His scar is healing really well and he is back to his usual antics, zooming around the apartment and wrestling with his brother. He also makes sure to make time every day for snuggles with his "mom".
