Introduction:

​My name is Laura, and Jack is my incredibly loyal, 13-year-old Parson. My husband, Jamie, and I are both full-time carers for disabled family members—this is why our income is so limited. Jamie even had to quit job to help care. Our children adore Jack, and we are fighting to give him the pain-free retirement he deserves.

​Jack recently had a routine check-up which revealed the full extent of his suffering.

​The Crisis: Severe Pain and Total Extraction

​Jack must have life-saving full-mouth surgery by the 18th to remove a severe, life-threatening infection (£1,166.34). The procedure is booked with Cromer Vets (proof attached).

​The Diagnosis: The infection has eaten away at the bone holding all his teeth in place. He needs a Full-Mouth Extraction to remove the infection that is now posing a life-threatening risk to his vital organs.

​The Challenge: Our insurance, Animal Friends, will not cover the bill.

​Our Family's Sacrifice and Urgent Appeal

​Our family has faced severe financial difficulties for the past three years. We finally had hope this year: we managed to save £450—the first spare money we've had in years—which was reserved for essential bills and basic necessities. Without hesitation, I knew that every penny of that £450 had to be available for Jack.

​We are appealing for your help because we face a terrible choice:

​Sacrifice the £450 to pay the vet bill, meaning we lose our only reserve for basic household needs.

​If we spend the £450, we will have zero money left to pay for the specialist if the high-risk jaw fracture complication occurs—Jack's only medical safety net will be gone.

​We are appealing for your help to raise the full £1,166.34 cost of the scheduled surgery. This would allow us to save Jack's life AND protect the essential household funds our family desperately needs for stability.

​WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN:

​Goal: We must raise the full £1,166.34 by the 18th.

​We will be contacting the RSPCA Norwich Branch on Monday morning to apply for a grant to reduce this debt.

​Please, spare a pound or if you can't donate, please share Jack's story! Every action helps us get Jack the essential, life-saving care he needs. Thank you.
