Please Read: Midna's LIFE is on the line. And we need you.

Hi, my name is Hope Earnest, and I am 27, desperately reaching out for your help to try to save my bean baby, Midna. She is the absolute light of my life, and has gotten me through so much of my struggles with anxiety and depression, and trained herself to be a service animal for me.

She started meowing and acting a little off, and so I tried to give her her usual tummy rubs and snuggles, but I noticed a wet sensation and found it to be blood. The vets said she has something called pyometra, and it is a life threatening infection in the uterus of the cat. Given how quick it seems we caught it there's a chance, but with how much she's bleeding that increases the chances of bad outcomes. We have to find someone willing to do the operation, the vets we took her to tonight gave us low cost options that may be willing to help us, but the only guaranteed help I have is through this vet, who has seen one of my brothers cars in the past and I trust them. We have 3 other cats, 2 of the same litter, her brothers Zant, and Ganon. She even has a sister niece, named Baybebelle because the mother of our beans wasn't spayed, and her sons grew faster than we could afford to get her procedure done. Zant himself had a UTI a few years back and underwent surgery himself, he is a big man now, and he's doing very well and I want to believe the same can happen for Midna, too.

I have raised her since she was a kitten, for 9 years now she has been my very best friend, and she has seen me go through so much trauma, and hardship and I can't express how much this little girl means to me, and how much I want to save her no matter the cost to myself. I trust her more than I trust some of my own family, and that kind of bond comes once in a lifetime.

I'm currently self employed as an artist, and a streamer on Twitch, and I really don't make much. I try to keep costs low on art so people can smile, but it's caused me a bit of hardship on my end. My partner works at a local Meijer, and doesn't make much himself. They've cut hours, prevented overtime for supervisors like himself, and have made steps to punish him for coming home when I need him because of a panic disorder, or because like tonight there's an emergency. I myself worked at the company as well, but left a year ago due to misconduct, and abuse from the staff, and management at that location. So financially it's been the toughest time on all of us. My brother Zachary has helped me every step of the way to pursue my passion for art, and creating for people, and he himself gave me the $400 from Care Credit I needed to pay upon leaving the emergency vet tonight. We lost our dad just over a year ago now, he lost his life unexpectedly just after Christmas, on my birthday. and we are still trying to recover from that.

I myself was rushed to the ER and hospitalized for a life saving surgery last year in May, and in November I lost consciousness fell, hit my head and ended up back in the emergency. I still have so many medical bills resting on my own head, and now this. They can throw me in jail for not paying my bills, but this is one I need to try and do whatever I can for.

Repeated high cost fixes around the house, the cars. Everything's just piled so high and we are drowning. The last thing I myself can deal with is losing my baby girl, and I can't hide. I have to ask for help because we desperately need it. Anything helps, anything at all.

I have no right to ask this of strangers, but I don't have anywhere else to turn and we can't do this on our own. Please help us.

Again her survival isn't guaranteed, but I have to try. I have to, I've given up on many things in my life, but a life is one I cannot give up on. Please help her. I am begging you from the very core of my being.

A friend of mine told me to make this gofundme, and I don't know how they work and I don't know what to expect, but he said his sister had success when her cat needed help, and I will put my faith in this and the world we live in as well.

$4000 is just the cost of the surgery, and I don't know how much this will all be in the end, but as long as I can figure the surgery cost out...I can figure out the rest in time.
