Aid Bentley's Dental Care and Kim's Recovery

Hi, most of you know me, but for those that don’t, my name is Kim Sella and this is my dog Bentley. This fundraiser is twofold, which I will explain further down. Right now, Bentley is my priority. As some of you know, I rescued Bentley off the euthanasia list. He was 12 yrs old and family members had dropped him off at the kill shelter when his owner went into the hospital. He came home with me and you would never know he is 12. He acts like two year old. Anyway, to get to the point, he was never given dental care his entire life and his teeth needed to be cleaned and were in horrible shape. I tried to save, but every time I was close something happened. I recently spent $1000 on Bentley for a trip to the ER and then to his regular vet. And that’s when they said he has two teeth where the raw nerves are exposed and I know he’s in pain. He is due to have them cleaned April 10th, even though I didn’t really have the money, I decided I would beg, borrow, whatever it took. I am scared he’ll get an infection and it will go elsewhere in his body. The quote was 1300 min and could be more if there are complications. So any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can’t get his teeth done, in the end I’ll have to make a choice whether to surrender him to a small breed rescue that could get his teeth done and then find him a new home. Which would break my heart. So I’m asking for help.

As far as the second reason for this fundraiser, most of my fb friends know I have anorexia and have struggled with it for most of my life. I relapsed badly in November, which is why I virtually stopped posting. I haven’t worked in four months and am so low on savings. Treatment where I’ve always gone wasn’t a possibility this time due to insurance. I had to be medically stabilized at a local hospitalized. I got out and continued to drop weight. I’m at the point now where my doctor is like this is a life or death situation. I’m 53 years old and I can feel my body starting to give up. I don’t want this to be the way I go out. Because I haven’t worked in so long I am in serious financial trouble. I don’t want to leave here where I have supportive friends, therapists etc. if I really start fighting I think I could do this, but I’ve just been too depressed to try. If any of you would be willing to help just to get through the next month or so, it would help so much if I had any sort of cushion. I didn’t post a pic of me with a tube down my nose, because I didn’t think anyone needed to see it and because the primary purpose is to get Bentley taken care of. If any of you have further questions, please feel free to message me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any support at all.
