Help get Sgt. Mable back on duty
Donation protected
Updated 12/19: As a result of being featured on Channel 13 last night, an anonymous donor directly donated $1,000 to VCA. We are completely overjoyed and humbled. There are no words to describe how amazing this is. As a result, I am returning our goal to $5,000.
Channel 13 Feature on Sgt. Mabel!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE!!
Updated 12/18: The final bills are in and just under $6k. I have raised the goal to exactly $6k to account for the 5% gofundme charges and the 2.9% fee the money handling processor charges. I have all receipts for your review.
Last night I arrived at VCA to a police car, two vet staff, and a distraught disabled army veteran helping load her belived service dog Sergeant Mabel out of the car and onto a pet gurney for emergency care. Sadly, Sgt. Mabel got out of her new yard and was struck by a car and seriously injured. God spoke to me clearly and said, "Her. Help her." Once inside, Mabel was rushed off for evaluation and it became clear very quickly that her soldier mom wasn't at all prepared to handle the burden of what was to happen financially to get her best friend and service animal back on her feet. I tell this not to elevate myself, but because I've learned to follow the voice when I'm told to go and do. Trusting fully that it would all get worked out I handed my credit card to the front desk staff and said do what you need to do. After a long night where I learned much about both Sgt. Mabel and her mom, the initial diagnosis and cost estimates came back. The news is positive-or at least repairable-but the costs are going to be incredible. Mabel needs two surgeries to surgically put her elbow and hips back into place as they are badly dislocated. The cost of last nights stay in ICU is estimated to be around $2,000 (I paid the $900 deposit) and the surgery estimate is between $5,000 and $7,000. I'm happy to provide them to anyone who would like to check them out. These costs are simply not something Sgt. Mabel's mom can bear and I am committed to keeping my promise to help get Mabel back on her feet and back on duty-whatever it takes. I pray that you find it in your heart to join me in this profound leap of faith and donate to Mabel's care. Mabel is needed and loved and provides comfort and protection for her mom both emotionally and physically and I will cover it all of that's how it ends up. I just know in my heart that there are others who will help, so any amount is deeply apppteciated. God bless you and thank you. Mabel's mom is mortified by the need to ask for financial help, but humbled and grateful. Thank you in advance and God bless you.
