Help Jasmine Thrive: Support with Medical Bills
Donation protected
Meet Jasmine, an Indonesian Blue Tongue Skink who unexpectedly became a part of my life. She came into my arms from neglectful circumstances. Unaware of the costly nature of exotic care, I found myself unprepared when Jasmine fell ill. However, I am resolute in my belief that she deserves the best, regardless of the cost. As a college student recently stripped of employment, I'm grappling with a financial bind, making it challenging to afford Jasmine's essential medical care. Yet, her well-being remains my utmost priority.
The cost of Jasmine’s medical bills are adding up much faster than I anticipated. So far in the last week, Ive spent over 1.5k in medical bills. Jasmine is currently staying at the vet for 2-3 days for testing and monitoring, and its estimated her visit will cost 1.7k. It is still currently unknown what exactly is going on. She is in rough shape, but hopefully with tests and treatment she will recover soon.
All of the funds will be used to cover Jasmines current/future medical bills. Current Bills: Exam Emergency $225, Cytology 1 site or fluid analysis $139.14, Exotic CBC $136, Medical waste fee $10, POC Abaxis Avian/Reptile panel $120, Ceftazidime 100mg/mL injection solution $81.26 (plus needles & syringes). Total =$712.17. Upcoming Bills: Consult Avian exotic in house $104, Hospitalization $245.72-$368.58, Exotic CBC $136, Medical waste fee $10, avian/reptile abaxis panel $120, Body full study $400, cytology $139.14, inpatient medications $300-$400, discharge medications $50-$100. Total Estimated Cost= $1104.86-$1777.72.
In light of these challenges, I've decided to launch this GoFundMe campaign to gather support for Jasmine's mounting medical expenses. Jasmine's journey sheds light on the expensive reality of exotic vet care. Let's come together to ensure that every reptile, like Jasmine, receives the care and attention they truly deserve.
Jasmine's presence has been a constant source of comfort and solace during my darkest days. Her gentle demeanor and unwavering companionship have been a ray of light in the midst of my struggles. Through her, I've learned the true meaning of unconditional love and the significance of caring for another being.
Despite the financial challenges I face as a college student without a job, I am determined to provide Jasmine with the best possible care. She has been a healer for my soul, and I am committed to ensuring that she receives the same level of care and attention that any beloved pet deserves.
Through this GoFundMe campaign, I not only seek financial assistance for Jasmine's medical expenses but also aim to raise awareness about the importance of proper veterinary care for reptiles. Jasmine's story is a testament to the bond between humans and animals and the transformative power of love and companionship.
