My name is Shelby Snowden and I’m begging for help with my orange baby’s medical care. He is the silliest, most loving 18-month-old and truly the center of my and my partner’s life. Sora is such a bright light and needs help to save his life.

He’s experiencing his first urinary blockage and is in a lot of pain. They are trying to fix it with a catheter, but may need more extensive measures. We were able to cut some care, but still brings us to $3500-$4500 and that’s if everything goes perfectly.

I’ve been out of work because of a back injury sustained from caregiving, and my partner has been working so hard to make sure we are okay. I’m about to go to nursing school, and it feels like just when we got our lives in order, this tragedy happens. We cannot pay for this and are more desperate than I could ever express. I am not one to beg and struggle to ask for help, but I will do anything for this sweet boy. Please, whatever you can do.
