Hi, my name is Samantha. I’m a single mom to a beautiful and smart 15-month-old daughter, and right now we’re going through one of the hardest times.

A year ago, my baby’s father passed away. Since then, it’s just been the three of us — me, my daughter, and my cat Pharaoh, who’s been by my side for the past 14 years. He’s not just a pet — he’s family. He’s been with me through everything, including the birth of my daughter, the loss of my dad, and the loss of her father. His love has been constant.

Now Pharaoh is sick. He’s in pain and needs urgent dental surgery and blood work that I simply can’t afford — over $1800. And I’m heartbroken to say that because of his age and health, he may not survive the procedure. I want to do the kindest thing and let him go peacefully, but I can't even afford that on my own right now.

At the same time, I’m dealing with a painful dental problem that needs extractions that are not yet covered, and trying to care for my daughter, who is sick as well, with no family support. I’m doing my best, but everything is hitting at once.

I’m asking for help to:

-Give Pharaoh a peaceful, pain-free goodbye

-Get the urgent dental care I need to function and care for my daughter

-Cover some of our basic needs while I get through this time

If you’re able to donate, even a little, or just share this with others, it would mean more than I can put into words. Every bit helps, and I’ll be forever grateful.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love,

Samantha, Emma, and Pharaoh
