Save Mila: Urgent Parvovirus Treatment

Donation protected
So I hate to post this because I’m never one to ask for help, but I guess at times we all need to ask for a hand. So here it goes:

The pictures attached are of 2 of my babies (I have 3 others as well). This is Milo (dark) and Mila (fawn). These babies were dropped off and abandoned (assuming from a breeder that couldn’t sell them as they had gotten too big). Although I had 3 already, I couldn’t stomach leaving them to fend for themselves, so my wife and I decided to bring them home. They weren’t good with human interaction at all, so we spent the first 4 weeks or so acclimating them to trust us. I knew I had to get them to a vet and vaccinated; however, getting our hands on them was a task that we were having trouble with. Whenever we tried to corral them, they would run and hide under the pictured building. They began to come around, and I was able to set them up an appointment with my regular vet for vaccinations. Unfortunately, Milo began showing signs of being sick, hid under the building again, and passed away due to what we later found out was parvovirus. I immediately took Mila to the emergency vet to get checked out. On the way to the vet, she started showing some of the same signs as Milo, but due to the quick response of Carolina Veterinary Specialists in Greensboro, she has begun to fight off the virus and is on the upswing. Her white and red blood cell counts are up, and she has tried to become a puppy again, although she is still very weak and in their care. She has now been there for 5 days and is probably looking to be there at least 2 more. The current amount I’ve paid out of pocket is $8250, and I expect to accrue an additional $1500 (approx) per day. I’m never one to ask for handouts of any kind, however, in this particular situation, I have exhausted enough funds that it has put me in a bind. If anyone is willing to help with any sort of donation, it would be greatly appreciated. Again, I hate to ask for help of any kind, but I’m in a situation that I have to. Thank you for taking the time to read this and please share as you see fit. If you would like to donate, I will list the information below.
