Hello, I am Temple. I need your help. Please.

Donation protected
My name is Bernadette and I am asking for help getting my loving Temple Cancer Treatment. I got Temple when she was a few months old 18 years ago. My mother had just died of cancer and a few months later my grandmother passed away. I stilled live at home with both of them. In a short span I lost two of the most important people in my life and my home was empty. I needed help with my grief, that’s when I met Temple at a local Petco. I wasn't there to get a new pet. It was somehow meant to be. A random employee stopped me and began telling me how Temple was heavily discounted she wasn't selling even though other full price Birds were being purchased. My heart was already broken and I couldn't leave this poor baby unwanted. It was the right decision. Temple saved my life...Literality. A little over a year later I was married and one evening both me and my husband were sleeping. We were both nursing the Flu with NyQuil were asleep in the living room. At some point that night My husband woke up because he heard Temple screaming and slamming herself against her cage. This was because the entire wall opposite us was completely on fire. We lost he entire apartment in the fire that day but her alert saved us all. She got us out of the apartment in time. Since the time of the fire in 2007 both My husband and I have become disabled and are on a fixed income. I was Diagnosed with MS and my Husband is in stage 2 kidney failure. Now Temple has cancer and we need financial help to get her treatment. She has lost use of the left leg because a tumor is pressing against the sciatica nerve. We have exhausted all of our savings to get up to the point of a Diagnosis, but we cannot afford treatment. I don't know if we can save her but I need to try and I need help. Please any small amount is greatly appreciated. I will fully disclose all veterinary costs to anyone who donates. I don’t want anyone to feel like they are being taken advantage of. Thank You.
