This is from my friend Jeff so here for context:

"Hello everyone, this is my cat Earl Grey, and Lyna is helping me make this page so they can help me with the vet fees. Yesterday, he was limping on one of his hind legs. I took him to the nearby vet to have it checked the following morning. I thought I could handle the cost at first, giving $1230.20 for the exam fees.

So when I got the news that he had a torn ligament and got hit with $3831 as the estimated quote for the surgery, I wasn’t sure if I could afford the cost anymore. Earl has been with me for eight years now. As much trouble as he has gotten himself into in the past, I still care for his well-being. It crushes me to think about him becoming permanently crippled if I can’t pay for his surgery."
