Assist Alyssa in the financial loss of Her Beloved Pumpkin

Hi, my name is Alyssa Germano and that is my boy Pumpkin. The last few days this week, he started acting weird. I noticed he was breathing out of his nose and his mouth. I monitored him and watched his movements to see if he was okay. The next day, he wasn't getting any better. I ended up scheduling an emergency appointment at the vet to get him checked out, and they told me he had an enormous amount of fluid in his chest and that they were worried about him. They told me that I needed to rush him to the animal hospital immediately and got my son hooked up on all these wires. Everything happened so fast. I took my son to the vet to see if he potentially had some sort of asthma, and it turned out to be heart failure. As soon as I took him to the hospital, his health started declining rapidly. The doctors told me that no matter the amount of money I put myself in debt for, he wasn't going to make it either way. They tried all they could, but the fluid wouldn't stop building in his lungs, and they were worried he was about to pretty much suffocate. He started going into shock, and he was put under so he wouldn't suffer tremendously. I never thought I would see my son that way. This is entirely hard to type as it has been 24 hours since my boy has left this earth. He was only 8 years old and had a long life to live. Pumpkin has saved me more times than anyone could ever know. I rescued him after his owner abandoned him in his carrier 7 years ago, and he rescued me. When my brother committed suicide in 2022, I crashed and fell into a dark mental state. Pumpkin was there through 7 years of my life. I have no idea how I'm going to move forward every day knowing he isn't by my side anymore. Living by myself, the amount of times that I have felt that I wasn't going to live another day, Pumpkin was right there every moment. I will miss you for the rest of my life, and I hope one day I will get to see you again. The stress and emotional damage of all of this on top of being in debt now, any amount of help or money would be a saving grace as I missed 16 hours of work, maxed out a credit card I took out to pay for any emergencies for Pumpkin, and another $1100 from all the vet bills and cremation. Thank you for taking the time to read this and donate to help with the emotional and financial stress as this has been one of the hardest things in my entire life that I ever had to go through.
