Reba and Charlie need help!

Reba and Charlie need help. Both of our dogs are having suregery this week. Reba somehow ended up with a dislocated hip yesterday while Iwas out. She needs to have surgery tomorrow May 1st.
This afternoon we took her into the vet clinic and they took x-ray's and put the hip back in its joint. Unfortunatley because of Reba's age, the joint is shallow and won't stay in place. Because of this she has to have surgery whether it be the ball of her femur being shaved and attached to the joint, or it resulting in a total leg amputation.
As many of our close friends and family know, awhile back Charlie had an infection in his dewclaw. We were given 2-3 weeks and 2 bouts of medication, to see if he would get better. Unfortunatley he hasn't gotten much better and will have to have his dewclaw amputated on wednesday.
Reba has ended up having to be on special food for the rest of her life as her system has trouble properly digesting fat. She has already once had to have a surgery to remove the stones, and we've cleaned up her diet greatly. Sadly, this hasn't been enough and now she has two more stones growing. Although they are alot smaller than her last one she may also have to have surgery to remove them. there is one thing we are trying to do to dissolve them before it comes to that.
We are trying so hard to get everything on track, but everyway we turn it's another closed door. We are doing everything we can to help out two amazing family members but it's very expensive and unfortunatley we don't have the funds that we need. This is where you guys come into play. If you could find it in your hearts to help a struggling family hold on to two animals that have been there for us in the hardest months of our life, please donate. We would be immensely grateful!
