Puppy's life saving surgery

Our 5 month old puppy (Zaruh) was having trouble breathing so my girlfriend and I took her to the pet emergency room. After checking her vitals and doing a chest X-Ray they found out the problem was that she had a "Spontaneous Pneumothorax" which is where her lung collapsed (air was seeping into her chest cavity putting pressure on her lungs which caused them to be unable to function properly). After attempting to tap it 3 times to release the pressure, a chest tube was placed. The next step for our baby girl is to have a "Median Sternotomy" surgery to open her chest and repair her damaged lung. The Veteranarian gave us the estimate of anywhere from $6000-$9000 for the whole process. With us both working and being in school it is still not enough to help us pay to save our little princess. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just your prayers! Thank you so much in advance!
