Edith's Surgery Fund

This is Edith. She's a shy little cat who sometimes even runs from me, though I raised her from a baby.  When strange people come over she watches warily from the top of the stairs.

She is always running and jumping. She zips from the bedroom upstairs down to the kitchen and then jumps up onto a seven-foot high bookcase. She'll do this all day, late into the night. The patter of her little feet are a constant in the house. And she talks. She talks all day long. I have no idea what she thinks she has to talk about.

She's my skittish little black squirrel, and we think she has breast cancer.  The exact words on the paperwork are "mammary gland tumor" and she will need to have what is essentially a kitty mastectomy.   This GoFundMe is to cover the cost of removing the tumor we recently discovered.   This is the cost breakdown for the surgery:

sedation: $65
mastectomy: $180 to $220
pain meds: $19
hazardous disposal fees: $3.50

This is bare minimum. I can't afford blood work or even a biopsy to find out if the tumor is cancerous. We're just going to remove it and hope nothing else grows. She is showing no signs of illness even though the tumor is getting bigger, so I have my fingers crossed that nothing more will come of it.

The people who are going to see this fund know me as Rosie or Leigh, and they know I've been working to make it on my own with my writing and several online stores.  They also know that I've only been partially successful.

I don't really want to ask for your money. I don't handle accepting charity well, especially as a person who has chosen not to have a regular job. I feel like I have no right to ask for help. I have a few rewards I'd like to offer, to thank you.  You can also check out my blog  for links to my Etsy, eBay, and writing to simply buy something!

[The rewards section will only let me set a minimum of $5 to give a reward, but if you donate any amount at all & want a free ebook, just let me know which one & I'll hook you up.]

Here is the $10+ reward:

If you want an Ebook you can see what is available on Smashwords and choose any you wish. Pick two if you want, I don't mind:
Leigh Wilder  (fantasy romance/erotica)
Rosalyn Coleman (historical & contemporary erotica)

I've lost two cats in the last few years, Pixie and George, to age-related diseases.  Edith is only 7 and I want to give her as full and long a life as I can.

So thank you.
