Help very much needed and appreciated

Hello! My name is Jessica and this is our big guy Maximus. We've had him for almost 4 years now; he was a rescue. (We changed his name.) We fostered him and his brother. His brother was adopted, but we just couldn't let this guy go; he is family. He is the biggest sweetheart and so good with our young kids. I am asking for help and for lots of shares. Sadly, we had to take Max to the animal hospital this morning because he has not been really wanting to eat, and when he would, he would throw up. We got some X-rays, and they found a few blockages in his intestines. (He has been known to swallow the squeakers and stuff from his toys.) This is a really big surgery, and they said they may even need to remove some of his intestines. He could be there for up to a week after for recovery. I'm freaking out, scared, sad, and overwhelmed.

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with our 3rd and final baby girl. I bartend, but my fiancé is currently unemployed and has been searching tirelessly for work, so we are very tight financially. Tufts said it could be on the low end of like $6,000-$7,000, depending on exactly what they need to do, and a high end of over $8,000. But this is a surgery he cannot go without. I hate asking for money or help, but right now we don't have many other options. So ANYTHING helps, even just sharing this is a huge blessing. Please pray for our fur baby as this is a big surgery, and I'm sure he's very scared and feeling alone. Surgery is being done either tonight or tomorrow. I will make posts with updates as I get them.

Thank you,

Jessica Wiseman
