PLEASE: help needed with funds for emergency Leg Surgery
Donation protected

Hi, my name is Michelle. I have been in the “rescue” business off & on for many years because of my (crazy, endless) LOVE for animals. Currently, I care for my seven indoor pets, four small dogs (Angel, Ella, Ladybug & Lucy) three cats (Jake the siamese, JoeJoe & Ginger) and one feral cat (JuJu) on my own on a fixed income. The three words that I have the HARDEST time saying are: “I need help” , but unfortunately I do! I am literally pushing myself through heartbreak over this baby’s pain and overwhelmed with the daily care of my other fur-babies! I also have done TNR for many strays in my area with some help from Planned Pethood! Recently my puppy (an adorable 5 mos. old Chorkie) Lucy jumped and broke her leg in two places!! The surgery is $2,926.00 and she will also need x-rays and follow up visits which are going to be very costly, on top of current pet expenses it’s tipped the scales more than what I can afford. Everyone that knows me knows there’s absolutely nothing I wouldn’t do for my pets (the sky is the limit, they’re my babies)! They mean EVERYTHING to me! It’s always been in my heart and soul, from a very young age, to help animals & so often I will take in another when I see a sad story or any in need, not always counting the cost because to me they’re SO worth it! But emergencies such as this aren’t in the budget, meaning that once again my stress and the financial hardship is taking a toll. If anyone is able to donate or just give my fundraiser a quick share, I would SO GREATLY appreciate it. This experience has been more devastating than I can put into words for Lucy and myself! THANK YOU for reading my story and Lucy (and my cat and dog pack) thanks you for any help you’re able to offer!!! To all you fellow rescuers and animals lovers out there!!
