Help Fund Ollie The Bunny's Amputation
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
Ollie the bunny, the love of my life & my inspiration for Honestbee, had a freak accident on Saturday where he shattered his femur in four locations (image below shows 2/4 breaks). His leg was pronounced "unsalvageable," leaving amputation as the only alternative to euthanasia. I was reassured by the vet that Ollie had too much life and fight left in him to head down the latter route, and Ollie could continue a beautiful quality of life, running and playing again post op.
My animals are my rocks, my joy, and my support during hard times, and I'd be lost without them. Sometimes I question if I would have the strength to overcome my lupus journey if it weren't for them. To me, they are so much more than animals. They are sincerely family.
When it comes to pets, I am a strong believer in saving for a rainy day; however, I did not expect a torrential downpour-hurricane-fire-tornado-explosion. You see, ALL THREE of my babies have required emergency surgeries in a span of seven months (and several thousand dollars....) due to freak circumstances (Pippa's bladder stone removal and Juniper's cancer removal) all within a seven month time frame.
However, the ability to cover three major surgeries in a 7 month time span, on top of my own astronomical healthcare costs, has been above and beyond a "rainy day."

Here is a full breakdown and photographs justifying the stated asking funds; however, please note, I am NOT asking for the entirety of all three procedures or any personal medical bills as I fear asking for too much -- I still have a responsibility for my animals and myself. My total only reflects Ollie's recent bills.
Harmony Animal Clinic: = initial emergency visit, x-rays, and diagnosis = $395.00
Amazon Purchases: new materials to build Ollie ramps, new litter boxes he can walk into, new floor padding, new blankets, sterile/disposable pee pads for accidents, new soft bedding, and enrichment toys during his recovery to keep his mind occupied = $161.32
Broward Animal Hospital: = Ollie second opinion, x-rays, blood work, amputation, and overnight stay = $1,858.00
TOTAL = $2,415
I do not like to ask without something to offer in return:
TIER ONE: $1-$50
A personalized digital OR physical thank you card (your preference!!) from Ollie and myself to you.
TIER TWO: $51-$99
A personalized video message of Ollie thanking you + a digital or physical thank you card from Ollie and myself to you.
TIER THREE: $100+
A free 30min mini photography session of you, your pet, you + your pet, your kids, kids + pet, what ever you want, with a guarantee of 5-10 professional photos and full rights to use/print as you please.
***note: this offer is only open to Jupiter, FL residents and in a socially distanced manner with groups no more than 4 subjects. If you are outside this region, I will extend this offer to professionally edit 5 photos you already own and would like retouched, enhanced, colored, etc.***
If, for some strange miracle, this fundraiser were to extend over the provided amount, I will use 50% of the remainder of the funds to buffer Juniper and Pippa's past surgery, and the other 50% will be donated to Live Freely Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving injured and abandoned animals.
Your love and support, physical, emotional, monetary, or spiritually is beyond appreciated in any capacity.
Best wishes and bunny kisses,
Grace & Ollie <3
P.S. Below are some additional photos of Ollie being handsome (as always) with his missing leg and snuggling his wifey.
