Wilma's Tiny Medical Fund
Donation protected
**i have updated our goal amount, as Wilma is now around the $8000 mark in expenses. Everyone's help with this newest bill has been very emotional and humbling for our family. While $2600 is her minimum goal, we will have ongoing bills and will accept any help offered beyond the goal amount.**
Wilma is everyone's baby. She helped us open Speakeasy Tattoo and has been a standing manager of the shop since. Almost any client knows Wilma, and has been doled a healthy dose of comforting from her fluffiness during some hard tattoo sessions.
Wilma has kidney problems, and lately, a stomach bacteria has kicked those problems into overdrive. She is having a hard time keeping on weight, and now she's experiencing tooth pain from being so gaunt, and having her gums rub her bad teeth. She has little comfort when eating but is very hungry and interested in food, meaning her kidneys have a good go left.
Wilma has gone from 3.7 kg to 2.0 in a matter of around 8 weeks, and her kidneys and stomach are struggling to turn around and help her absorb the proteins she needs to gain weight. Once her stomach ulcerations can heal, she can focus on recovering from her unexpected associated health issues.
I pride myself on caring well for my animals and I always have money set aside, as someone without pet insurance. However, I have to humbly ask for any help the Wilma Lovers out there may want to give to her. WILMA NEEDS TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS ON FLUIDS. This is estimated around $3000.00. In this time, Dr Doug Mason and his team and the Veterinary Emergency Clinic will be watching her around the clock and administering all antibiotics and iv fluids.
I really can't carry this burden right now, and I don't want to lose my best friend, and a valuable Speakeasy Staff Member, (hell, one of our founding staff!) to something as stupid as a bill for IV fluids.
I don't have children, and Wilma is everything to me. I will be eternally grateful, and I will definitely throw tattoo love in the way of anyone able to donate. I don't expect anyone to, and I don't begrudge you thinking I'm shitty for asking for money. I hate doing it. I get it. But if you can, and you want to, know that you've done a really special thing for me and my family, and we will truly keep your generosity in our hearts.
