Help Amber pay for ER vet costs for Gibson

As many of you know, I abruptly and unexpectedly lost my companion Gibson this past Sunday to Acute Kidney failure. He has been with me through the many highs and lows for 18 years, and up until this weekend has been an incredibly healthy boy, even for being a super senior cat. 10 days before I brought him to the ER, he had his annual vet appt and blood work, which he was given the all clear of perfect levels for his liver and kidneys. Hence my confusion and surprise when I was told his kidney and potassium levels were incredibly high and given options for things to try to lower the numbers and to save his life.

Many that know me well know I would do ANYTHING for my animal family members, and that's what I did for Gibson in this last ditch attempt to save him so he and I could spend the rest of his golden years together and enjoying life, no matter the cost, and I'd do it all over again if I could. Sadly the procedures didn't work, and the only option left was to let him go. I asked to bring him home so he could be comfortable in a space he knows with me and his Emily there to love him and send him off, luckily they said yes. The devastation and regret I feel is something I hope no one else ever has to experience. I wanted to give him so much more love, care and adventures to enrich his life, and now I won't be able to. He was my 1st animal as an adult, adopted from the Humane Society at 8 weeks old, and wow, I had no idea that that day would change my life forever. I am eternally grateful for each moment that I had, and would do anything to get them back.

As embarrassing and humbling as this is to ask for help, the cost of the failed procedure and euthanasia was something I obviously didn't factor in, and is causing a fair amount of stress with managing my life and expenses in the current day as it is just me, and no additional partners or family that shares this cost. Any amount would help SO much and I am incredibly grateful for your kindness and help to me and Gibson. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
