Please Help Snowboots Getting Her Infection Healed

Hi my name is Penelope and I wanted to share a little about my mother and cat, in hopes of raising some money to help relieve the both of them. My mom is a single mother who has single handedly raised me to be who I am now. Throughout my nineteen years of life I have watched the strongest woman I know consistently struggle just to keep me safe and happy, and all I hope to do in my future is to be as indestructible as her. Twelve years ago when I was around seven years old my mom and I had just moved into an apartment in a brand new town, and I was quite lonely. I really wanted a guinea pig but my mom had been searching through the local shelter's cats and found a skinny black kitty with white paws named Poppy and I had my heart set on her. I named her Snowboots (due to her paws and my creativity as a seven year old), and fell in love with her and we took her home. Snowboots has been my baby ever since then and is just my actual life, when I've been hurt she's always there to cuddle and won't leave your side until you feel better. My mom and I haven't had a lot of money and currently my mom is juggling three different part-time jobs all throughout the week, yet she's always somehow there for me, always worrying about me, always caring about me, and all I want to do is help her. I am also currently employed part-time while in community college. Snowboots has not gone to the vet in two years due to just focusing finances on other things such as rent, and groceries. We recently took her to the vet and found out that she has a severe gum infection and needs around five teeth taken out, and due to the area that we live in the cost ranges from over $1000 to over $4000. My mom also has also just found out that the bottom of her car needed to be replaced which was upwards of $1200. After recently paying that off now she has been searching for non profit organizations and low cost veterinarian dental technicians just to help Snowboots, she has spent countless hours researching and calling in order to just give our kitty some relief, and I just want to help them both. If her teeth don't get taken out and cleaned it can lead to a systemic infection harming her internal organs and eventually taking her across the rainbow bridge which is the last thing I could ever want. She is also in pain when she eats due to the condition of her gums and teeth, and the only option is extraction. I just want for the both of them to be happy, they both mean the world to me. Thanks for reading and I hope this reaches out to someone, anything helps <3
