Neighborhood crazy cat lady needs help

I have never been a person to ask for financial help, but I have been spending so much money and time taking care of the feral cats in my neighborhood. In January, I took in a pregnant, feral mom and a few days later, she gave birth to five kittens. I cared for those kittens until I found them all good homes. One of them suffered from a huge abscess and there was a couple hundred dollars of vet bills associated with that. Last month, I got the mother spayed and I am currently trying to find a home for her. On Monday, I took one of the TNR cats in the neighborhood, Astro, to the vet because he couldn’t walk due to some sort of bite wound. That bill was over $400. On Tuesday, I got Peter, a stray who has been hanging around my yard, neutered, and that was over $100. There could possibly be more expenses for Astro if he doesn’t start walking normally. I have also spent about $200 so far this year on food for the outdoor community cats, I walk around and feed them in every type of weather. I literally have never missed a day in several years.

currently, there is another stray we are familiar with who has four kittens under the porch of an apartment building. I imagine at some point I will be trying to capture and spay the mom and find homes for the babies. I’m just trying to do the right thing. I am overwhelmed with the expense and any help would be appreciated! Hoping some of the kind folks in our neighborhood who appreciate the effort I am putting in can do a little bit to help.
