Care for Marley: Urgent Medical Fund

Donation protected

This is my baby fur girl Marley, and the night before last, two young girls or teens in a big white truck with a toolbox in the back hit her. I was so overwhelmed and stressed out just watching her get hit by them. They did stop and said they'd help with her medical bills and that they'd send the money to me. I didn't even get their names. Marley will be 3 years old in May. Her back right leg looks completely destroyed, and there may be possible damage to her hip as well. I know she's in a lot of pain, but I'm not in the best situation right now to afford getting her the proper help and surgery she's gonna need. They won't even see her anywhere unless I've got a card or cash on hand to pay for all of it. Her vet said it's probably going to cost close to $6,000 to $7,000 for the surgery. This is to help with all her medical bills. I feel so ashamed that I can't afford to help my dog. I would really like to get her checked out at least, diagnosed, and maybe get a brace for the moment to try to keep her as comfortable as possible. I've run out of options, and this is the only thing I can think of to possibly save my girl. She means the world to me. This really couldn't have happened at a worse time. January is extremely hard for me to get through. As a single mom, providing for my daughter and my two dogs has been a hard struggle the last few months. I've been going through some problems of my own with my writing hand/arm being broken. My ulna is broken in two places along with the radius bone and my wrist. So, I'm having a very difficult time doing anything. I do work as an Uber driver, but I just don't make anywhere near that kind of money. I barely can make ends meet, but somehow I always do. But my girl is in a whole lot of pain and hurting badly. I really need to get her seen tomorrow because today will make 3 days since she got hit by that big white older truck with a toolbox with two teen girls or young girls in the Flatwoods, KY area. I'd appreciate anything, any help. The smallest donation helps and matters to me and Marley. It would mean the world for anyone to help my girl. It's not for me at all; this is all going towards Marley's medical expenses and recovery to get her better and back to her normal self again. She can barely walk, and I'm having to help her with my arm broken the way it is. I'm praying I don't make it worse and end up having to have surgery on myself as well. But I've got Medicaid, so they pay for my stuff but not for my fur baby. From the bottom of my heart, I would be so grateful, and it would absolutely mean the world to not only Marley but to me and my kids because Marley means the world to us, and we don't want to see her suffering like she is right now. I appreciate anything and want to thank you for helping my girl get back to herself again. My daughter is dying to play with her little buddy Marley, but she's really not understanding that she's hurt and broken like momma's arm is and to not touch her a lot because I don't want to cause her any more pain than what she's going through. I hope and pray to God I can get the help I need for her before it may be too late, and that really scares me. I lost my mom 4 years ago yesterday, so this week has been really hard emotionally, mentally, and physically. I hate that we've both miraculously broken my arm and Marley got hit by a truck and broke her leg and possibly her hip too. Her leg looks and feels like it's literally shattered. This is killing my heart that I can't do a thing to help her and have to resort to this. I'm not proud of this; I'm actually very emotionally embarrassed by having to do this. But I thought there still may be some good-hearted people in this world that truly care about others and are kind. All I can do is ask for your help, please, and thank you with everything in me for donating anything. Please keep my kids in your prayers. I'll be okay; I'm momma, I've gotta be strong for my kids, and I really need to be for myself. I appreciate everything.
