Carly is starting this fundraiser for Ivon, her life partner, after the heartbreaking and unexpected loss of Ivon’s beloved cockatiel and support animal. This loss has been deeply painful, especially because Ivon relied on that companionship and comfort every day. Along with the emotional shock of saying goodbye so suddenly, Ivon is now facing the difficult costs connected to the emergency care and aftercare, including the vet visit, X-rays, anesthesia, and cremation.

The funds raised will help ease some of the financial burden so Ivon can focus on grieving and healing instead of worrying about every expense at once. Support will also help give Ivon the chance to take a little time away from work to process this loss and care for herself during such a hard moment. Any kindness, donation, or share would mean so much right now. Carly is asking for help surrounding Ivon with support, compassion, and relief as she navigates this painful time.
