<div>edit: I just haven't been able to even process the kindness and generosity of this amazing web of people that have somehow reached out to let it be known that on any level at all, my wellness is important to them, and community care is important to them. "Thank you" doesn't begin to do it. This was an awful ride, but an easy one from which to center gratitude. I can't wait to be so freakin healthy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Jace Bartet and I just got home from five nights in the hospital after two emergency procedures; endoscopic removal of an infected gallstone from my bile duct, followed by full gallbladder removal surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I live alone and am doing okay around the house, but could really use a hand with food and household bills due to work missed from the six day hospital stay and at least another week (possibly a month) spent recovering at home. Gift cards from grocery stores or food delivery services (although not a lot of local restaurants carry food I can eat) are welcome if you know me well enough to get me those things, as well as food itself (contact me for restrictions), but I thought I'd make this for anyone who prefers donating anonymously or would like to help with things like rent and the power bill.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Honestly, good vibes totally appreciated too. This was a terrifying experience and I feel lucky to be recovering well at home and that it wasn't worse. I'm naturally sheepish about making this fund but by the time they got a hospital gown on me, I'd been at a 10/10 on the pain scale for 17 hours, lost count of how many times I'd vomited (or dry-heaved saliva), had basically become a jaundice-induced Simpson from the freeflowing bile party, and toward the end had begun urinating blood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading and considering. Anything helps. I hope you are feeling good and doing well out there yourself :)

Help Jace With Food and Bills after Emergency Surgery

<div>From Octoplum
</div>
<div>My precious baby Mishka, my whole world, is extremely ill.  She has an aggressive nasal cavity abscess which has deteriorated the bone, potentially exposing her brain to the infection.   
</div>
<div>On May 2nd, she was attacked in our garden by a much larger, unneutered tom. He had her whole head in his mouth and left a deep puncture wound on top of her skull. Her entire head swelled up. Despite immediate treatment, an abscess formed that kept returning throughout multiple, concurrent courses of antibiotics. She stopped eating at one point, lost a third of her body weight (she's now just 2.2kg.) and became rapidly frail and more fragile.  Multiple vets couldn’t explain why she was not recovering.
</div>
<div>Last week, a CT scan revealed the massive abscess inside her nasal cavity, which has resulted in three areas of bone loss adjacent to her brain.
</div>
<div>We're now awaiting test results so the surgeon can operate as safely as possible. She has explained that it's dangerous and delicate to work so close to the brain, and they won’t be able to remove all the infected bone. She’ll need months of antibiotics and complex aftercare. The infection may return, and the bone may never regrow.
</div>
<div>It's scary and heartbreaking. 12 years ago, Mishka was abandoned outside a vet, matted and emaciated and squeezed into a carrier with another stressed cat. She has always been the most loving, angelic being despite this experience, but is terrified of carriers and of vets. Every vet visit is traumatic. She's the bravest, sweetest girl, and she's been through so much already. 
</div>
<div>So far, her care has cost over £8,000, and the operation will be around £6,000 more. After that comes an unknown quantity of checkups, medication and aftercare.  They have warned us that the whole process may have to be repeated. After the initial £14,000 her care could potentially reach £20,000+ if the operation needs repeating.
</div>
<div>We've been drawing on savings to cover this, but we realise ongoing treatment may outstrip our resources before we’re finished.  Unfortunately, my own health issues have prevented me from working for the past few years.   Also, we had cancelled Mishka’s premium insurance when they refused to pay a large bill (we claimed back via the Ombudsman). We were recently recommended a better one, and yes, we really wish we had been quicker. However, insurance limits do not often cover the sums Mishka will likely need in a one-year cycle, and unfortunately in our experience they sometimes decline valid claims. Additionally, we have always had to pay up-front and have therefore always needed these large sums available even with insurance.  
</div>
<div>Last year, 3.4 million people liked a post of Mishka that went viral, which showed off her natural mullet. We’ve never monetised her popularity and adorableness. We want to make clear that this is not the case here.  We are hoping to safeguard her health at a very scary time, which has shaken us with the dangerous, hidden complications that can set in from a cat attack, and the overwhelming speed at which resulting fees can accrue.  And we would do anything for this gorgeous, silly, funny, fluffy little fairy warrior princess who we love more than anything.
</div>
<div>We have been very reluctant to reach out. We know not everybody is in a position to contribute to her care, but if you can and would like to, we and Mishka are deeply grateful.  If you can't, sharing this page truly helps as much, and we appreciate you for caring and reading this far.
</div>
<div>We'll post updates on her surgery and recovery here, so you can follow her progress. 
</div>
<div>She's small, but she's a fighter! 
</div>
<div>Love and Mishka snuggles,

<div><br />
</div>

Help Fluffy Heal: Urgent Medical Care Needed

<div>Our family is facing an unexpected and heartbreaking crisis. My sister, Lauren, and her husband, Matt, recently rescued two precious kittens, Banoffee Pie and his shelter brother, Marty, after losing their beloved cat, Murray, to lymphoma. Banoffee has now fallen seriously ill, testing positive for COVID. He is lethargic, refusing to eat, and battling a high fever of 103.9. His doctors are deeply concerned that his condition could develop into Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a devastating disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Banoffee is only a six months old and finally settling into his new home, and we are doing everything in our power to give him a fighting chance. He has been hospitalized for intensive care, but the medical bills are quickly adding up and could exceed $10,000. We are asking for your help to ensure that Lauren and Matt don’t have to endure the heartbreak of losing another cherished pet so soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Banoffee’s hospital care, treatments, and recovery. If you can’t contribute financially, we would be so grateful if you could share this fundraiser with others who might be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Banoffee is a fighter, and with your support, we hope to bring him home, healthy and happy, where he belongs. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Help Save Banoffee Pie: A Kitten Fighting for His Life

<div><strong>About this project</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to get as much print media covering SMRPG (both the 1996 and 2023 releases) scanned, archived, and available to the public as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am an alumnus of the University of Toronto, and still live near its downtown campus. The university is home to <a href="https://onesearch.library.utoronto.ca/faq/where-can-i-scan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">several book scanners</a>, including one serving the <a href="https://archive.org/scanning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Internet Archive</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After visiting the Internet Archive’s HQ during a vacation to San Francisco in 2023, I became highly invested in their mission. Then after searching their collection for magazine articles about Super Mario RPG, I had a difficult time finding much in the way of Japanese sources. Therefore, I’ve decided I want to be the change I wish to see.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am collecting information about magazines with information about Super Mario RPG (whether it be full features or just news snippets), as well as other print media (such as game guides). I have been informed that as an alumnus of U of T, I am welcome to use their book scanners for a small fee.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would like to purchase as many of these magazines as possible, except for those which are already available online. I will then take them to be OCR scanned and publicly released on archive.org, and then subsequently donate the physical copies to any organization or library that would be interested in having them (such as the <a href="https://gamehistory.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Video Game History Foundation</a> for example, if they would be interested). If no org wants the physical copies, I will keep them in my own possession.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can’t do this on my own: print media is expensive, and it’s even more expensive to ship it from Japan to Canada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Cost breakdown</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I drafted up a <a href="https://pidgezero-one.notion.site/SMRPG-print-media-preservation-project-346b66d46f1e463b9fec3085efada376" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">table of Japanese print media sources containing Super Mario RPG information</a> that I was able to find for sale on merchant websites, and summed up the lowest cost per item (in reasonable condition) that I could find at the time. This totaled up to ¥116,107. The exchange rate between yen and Canadian dollars fluctuates often, but at the time of writing, this comes up to $1100 for the materials alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because this figure is assuming that I would still be paying the lowest listed price at the time of drafting the table, the rest of the $2000 figure accommodates for some of those magazines being relisted at an unexpectedly higher price, or finding more instances of print materials that are not currently covered by my table.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The $2000 figure also is meant to cover the cost of shipping the materials from Japan to Canada. Magazines are heavy when you start stacking them up, and shipping heavy parcels is expensive. These will have to come in the form of multiple overseas shipments, assuming I go with the least expensive option offered by my proxy service.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, the figure also is meant to cover fees incurred by the use of a proxy service in order to purchase the materials. These fees typically include the cost of shipping the item to the proxy's headquarters before making their way to Canada.

Help preserve Super Mario RPG history!

<div>Hi all. I am Matthew Litton to some Mr. Litton. This is super hard for me to write. This is for the Wynne family. We have known the family for over a year now, but they have become friends and family to all that know them. They are the most kind and caring family I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Please anything will help them during their time of need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The loss of Bob Wynne is profoundly felt by everyone who had the honor of knowing him. He was not just a great man, but a devoted father, loving husband, loyal friend, and an accomplished martial artist. Bob’s presence brought joy, strength, and wisdom to those around him, and his absence leaves a void that words cannot adequately express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a father, Bob was a guiding light, always there with unwavering support and love. His dedication to his family was evident in every moment he spent with them, creating memories that will be cherished forever. As a husband, his partnership was marked by deep love and mutual respect, a testament to the strength of their bond.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the realm of friendship, Bob was known for his kindness, generosity, and the ability to lift spirits with his presence. His friends knew they could count on him, whether for a listening ear, a helping hand, or simply a good laugh.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bob's passion for martial arts was a significant part of his life. His discipline, skill, and dedication to the art were inspiring. He was not only a practitioner but also a mentor to many, sharing his knowledge and encouraging others to strive for excellence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bob Wynne’s legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew him. Though his physical presence is no longer with us, the impact he had on our lives remains. His spirit will continue to inspire, and his memory will be a source of comfort and strength.
</div>

Support the Wynne Family in Their Time of Need

<div>Hi. I will be giving a write up of some of what has been going on lately, which I have updated in our other gfm posts but this one is for all recent bills, help covering $800+ we still owe for Hull’s FIP meds, and we cannot get Akio’s 3rd mass removal surgery (in his mouth) &amp; eye enucleation UNTIL we raise funds for it. I never do this, I never wait for funding, but I have to this time. I just can’t keep drowning myself in vet bills and it is not URGENT surgeries, but they do need to be done and both will help make him more comfortable.
</div>
<div>The following is a short update of some of what has been going on with the kitties. Please help if you can. Link in bio if you prefer a donation with no deductions. Thank you:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello everyone. Im sorry it has been so long since I have updated. Ive had so much with the cats going on. Stompy had a dental a few days ago, Ruby had a t4 re check w/ additional bloodwork (she is hyperthyroid). Stompy also has pre-surgical bloodwork. Olive &amp; Pearl were seen. They have upcoming dentals on May 17th.
</div>
<div>Artemis was hospitalized for chronic diarrhea and giardia. Sadly, we had no idea until after that he had lymphoma developing right where his trachea and esophagus meet. We sent him to Heaven when he started wheezing and was unable to eat without immediately throwing up his food. His trachea was restricted and his esophagus was air-filled as was his belly, filled with gas. It has been a really sad past couple of days. His necropsy is what lead the vet to suspect lymphoma.
</div>
<div>Hull finished his 84 days of injections to cure FIP. He is now in his 84 days of observation to make sure he doesnt relapse. Tom’s sadly continuing to lose weight, although he remains happy (he has kidney failure and anemia). He also had an exploratory surgery on his neck(please see videos). 
</div>
<div>Misty is now out of her 84 days of observation from her FIP cure and she is looking great. We still owe for two shipments of FIP injectable meds to the FIP admin which will cost around 800-$900. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Akio was seen and given a steroid and convenia injection but unfortunately I had to cancel his 3rd mass removal surgery and eye removal surgery due to lack of funds and other cats having more immediate needs than him. We have a lot going on. Please please help if you can. It has been a struggle. Thank you so much for any help. I will post some (but prob not all) recent vet bills. And I will also try and show Artemis’ xray.
</div>
<div>Link in our bio if you would like to make a deduction-free donation. Thank you so much for hour consideration. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask

Veterinary Care, ER Bills Multiple Cat Update Info

<div>Hi, my name is Sue, I live in Scotland, and I want to help raise funds for my friend Nada Alaraj and her family who are currently in desperate circumstances on the Gaza Strip. I got to know Nada well via social media a few years ago, I’ve been helping her with her English as she has been studying to become a teacher. She and her husband Ahmed have 3 beautiful little girls . (The photo shows her eldest, Mesk at nursery) They lived in Gaza City until the war. 3 months in they (along with other members of her family) are going to be evacuated from a school in a refugee camp in the south and have nowhere to go. The situation is increasingly worrying and the only way I can help is to create a small fund for Nada and her family in the hope that it helps make some sort of a life for them once this terrible war is over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will keep the fundraiser open and the funds with go fund me, and as soon as it is possible to I will transfer them via my bank to Nada via Western Union.
</div>
<div>Please note if circumstances change and I’m no longer able to send to Nada or her family I will donate all funds to the UNRWA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I really am very grateful to you for reading this and any small contribution you can make. Please note since this fundraiser is for the Middle East it has undergone a review by Gofundme and has passed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is Nada’s story :
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Nada Alaraj and I have lived in the Gaza Strip under conditions of occupation since I was born in the 1990s.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We, just like any other defenceless civilians in the world, were surprised and shocked at the events of October 7th. We have no fault with the Israeli people, only with the continued control of our people by the Israeli Government.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They began the war on the afternoon of October 7th, in my beautiful Al-Karama neighbourhood which overlooks the south eastern area of the coast. My husbands family and I were finally forced to leave after 4 years under bombardment. The area was half destroyed.
</div>
<div>I was 8 months pregnant at the time and it was difficult to move around in such circumstances. Thank god we were able to reach the Sheikh Radwan area in the middle of the night to stay with relatives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But then they bombed here too, and threw us scraps of paper wanting us to evacuate again. We made the difficult decision to move south without food or knowing where to go.
</div>
<div>We ended up in the Al-Wusta region which we thought was safe but it wasn’t and now huge numbers of people were fleeing from North to South.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We found shelter in a school in a refugee camp and I gave birth to my 3rd daughter Sham, in circumstances that only God knows about.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We cannot reach Rafah because the road is blocked and people risk being killed if they try to use it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Flour has become so scarce that we are now buying wheat at costly prices and baking it, but it has almost gone from the market. We haven’t had any UNRWA food parcels or flour yet as there isnt enough for everyone, and there are 20 of us together as a family.
</div>
<div>Clothes are now expensive and scarce, markets have been bombed and inhabited by sellers monopolising the market.
</div>
<div>My daughters scream everyday for food and sweets that we don’t have.
</div>
<div>We have to buy bottled water at double price, we drink 2 litres per day between myself, husband and children and we have to drink salty water for the rest of the day.
</div>
<div>We need many of the minimum necessities of life, now and in the long term after the war.
</div>
<div>If we eventually return to the North we return to destruction and there’s only a 5% chance our house is still standing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we have been told to prepare to evacuate the school shelter and we have nowhere to go. It is horrible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please we would be very grateful for any help. Thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update
</div>
<div>The camp where Nada and her family were staying in central Gaza has now been ordered to evacuate. I have not heard from Nada since this but hope to asap and will update accordingly.

A young family in Gaza in desperate circumstances

<div>Hello , I’m Lama, I live in U.k and I’m helping my cousin <strong>Raghad</strong> and her family Rebuilding their home ! 
</div>
<div>This is Raghad’s story in <strong>her own words.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everything we see and say that it is the most difficult period in our lives, we are surprised by the presence of the most difficult period. Imagine living your life as a father who works hard to build a stable life for his children and a quiet home, 50 years and more of hard work from my father. 
</div>
<div>It left us all in shock and confusion about our matter. Suddenly imagine. To receive pictures of your house that you built with your effort and hard work, and it is completely destroyed, and even your entire residential area has been completely destroyed. Now I am receiving donations again. Perhaps this will help us rebuild part of our house. You helped me achieve the first goal of collecting travel costs for my family and to complete my education from  me and my brothers, I am hopeful that we will succeed in the next goal. Continue to help me and spread my donation campaign.

<div>Hello everyone, My name is Raghad Al Roubi ,
</div>
<div>With heavy heart, I write to you about my experiences living in a plastic nylon tent on Rafah, suffering from illness, extreme cold, intestinal diseases due to malnutrition,, struggling in the mud when it rains hearing nonstop bombings! After being uprooted more than five times, we were unable to find anywhere else to stay except this tent .
</div>
<div>No electricity and internet connection for more than four months!
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm a girl who enjoys experiencing new things, living life to the fullest, and giving back to the community. Honstly, education is the most significant aspect of a person's life.
</div>
<div>I know I can accomplish all of my numerous goals, but this conflict has taken away every aspiration and objective I had great enthusiasm for realising.
</div>
<div>I started getting ready for my final year of dental medicine school in early October. I was eager to graduate and pursue further education in oral and maxillofacial surgery to help Gaza's community Regretfully, during the start of the conflict, my college, Al Azhar University, was bombarded.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is the 148th day of the war, and things are growing worse and more confusing every day. We literally never know what's going to happen, therefore we always live in fear. We have had five evacuations from our home while carrying nothing in search of safety, but sadly, there is nowhere safe in Gaza, and every region is bombed without prior notice. I've been psychologically suffering since the beginning of the war due to the intensity of the frightening sounds of explosions nearby, which have caused me to constantly shake, lose weight, sleep poorly, and not eat. I will never forget the terrifying and difficult times I experienced during the conflict, ( in the northern part of Gaza )
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The most difficult moments that passed for me and my family were when the Israeli army entered by ground with its tanks and we were sitting next to each other in the same room and we numbered 6 people, me, my father, my mother, my sister Hala, and my brother Ahmed and Hassan. They fired phosphorus bombs on our neighborhood, and we did the necessary first aid, me and my brother, Doctor. Ahmed, which involves applying wet compresses to the eyes for a period of no less than 15 minutes. The most terrifying moment was when a shell was fired into the room next to us, and the soldier, whose tank was only meters away from our house, began calling into the microphone, “You must evacuate the house quickly, otherwise we will arrest you all.”
</div>
<div>We took responsibility for our lives and said goodbye to each other, perhaps for the last time. We left the house carrying nothing but a backpack containing important papers, a white flag in the right hand, and an identity card (ID) in the left hand. We walked behind each other, and suddenly we noticed that the soldier was calling for my brother, “the young man.” The one carrying a black bag stood there and came to us. “We simply did not have the ability to turn around to see him. As soon as you moved your head, they would snipe you!”
</div>
<div>But My father tried to turn to him, the soldier hit him on the hand &amp; leg He beat him with the weapon he was carrying, very hard and with great violence .. This beating was easier than killing him, because they killed anyone who tried to turn around instantly.
</div>
<div><strong>There are details that the mind cannot ignore or forget !</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We walked on foot for 10 kilometers until we reached the house of my grandmother and my mother’s mother. All our thoughts were about my brother, who had been arrested by the occupation. Two days later, my brother returned to us and his captivity had been released. His face showed fatigue, torture, injustice, and oppression. I think. Psychological fatigue will not be treated even if years have passed since this war!
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/78362771_1710067685346752_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've survived four violent battles previously, but this one was unlike any other that we've ever been in It's significantly worse than the sum of all earlier wars. I don't know whether I'll make it through this one. I always say, "I don't wanna die," during my panic episodes when I hear bombing sounds, and I still say that I truly don't want to die.I still have ambitions I want to accomplish.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, they don't let people travel back from the south to the north, thus we are unable to return to our heavily damaged and half destroyed home &amp; The bombing of my university &amp; my city has caused my dad and brother to lose their jobs. I have lost a great deal of dear friends and family. My spirit is unbroken in spite of these difficulties, and I'm committed to finishing my dental medicine degree in Gaza as soon as possible.
</div>

<div>But, in order to finish my final academic year, I must leave Rafah. With the expense of $5,000 per person for my immediate family of six, leaving Gaza to enter Egypt through the Rafah crossing appeared unaffordable.

<div>We are frantically attempting to rebuild and look forward to better days, so your assistance is really appreciated. All contributions, whatever of size, enable us to begin mending our dashed hopes. I humbly and deeply want everyone who is nice to assist me in telling the world about my experience and message. We appreciate your help and patience during this trying period. For my family and me, your support signifies a fresh start. It also denotes empathy and unity in the pursuit of justice and the preservation of human life.

Support Raghad and her family Rebuilding their lives

The community has been reaching out in support of Bree’s family and wanting to donate to the cause. First off, we are SO THANKFUL for EVERYONE standing up for justice and saying her name! We’re not stopping until we truly get justice! All of you are such a blessing! It’s amazing! <br /><br />Second of all, we are thankful for the offers for donations. My sister and niece are too proud to say it, but this is a tough fight and it does take a toll. They’re both hard workers and they’re missing out on some work (and sleep!) in this fight for justice.<br /><br />We do not expect anyone to donate to this cause; your voices are being heard and that alone is so powerful! But because of all the calls and the overwhelming generosity, I have set up this account for them. <br /><br />You all are a blessing. Thank you so much again for everything! And let’s keep this fight for justice going! <br /><br />#justiceforbre

Justice for Breonna Taylor (official)(#BREEWAYY)

<p>My name's Alex and I'm a delivery driver for Green Line Cafe as well as a musician/podcaster here in Philadelphia. On Saturday, October 12 during my route driving on 676 I spotted this poor little female orange kitten (maybe 2 to 4 months old) stranded on the shoulder of the highway.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42690662_1571011762681680_r.jpeg" alt="42690662_1571011762681680_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />I quickly circled back around to pull over and swoop her up. She was so gentle and sweet, yet understandably exhausted. When I brought her home to regain strength I quickly noticed she wasn't walking, and in fact could barely put any weight on her hind legs. <br /><br /><strong>I zipped to the Philadelphia Pet Hospital immediately and sure enough she has multiple fractures.</strong> Her right tibia and fibula (lower leg), as well as her hip, which leads to believe she was likely thrown from, or hit by, a car.<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42690662_1571012574199829_r.jpeg" alt="42690662_1571012574199829_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><strong>I'm starting this GoFundMe campaign</strong> because I'm just a service worker working paycheck-to-paycheck who wants to be able to give this sweetie the best life and love she can receive. But given my financial situation I know I can't handle the cost of surgery, especially with the immediacy before these injuries cause more permanent developmental damage and hindrance to her quality of life. <br /><br /><strong>As of October 14th, we were able to get her admitted to VSEC in South Philadelphia,</strong> where she'll be receiving surgery to repair the fractures in her right leg, as well as a femoral head ostectomy on her left hip.<br /><br /><strong>The money raised from this campaign will go directly to paying the vet bills accumulated</strong> from the immediate veterinary costs, and potentially any follow-up procedures required for her recovery. The break down so far is as follows:<br />-̶ ̶T̶o̶t̶a̶l̶ ̶S̶u̶r̶g̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶C̶o̶s̶t̶:̶ ̶$̶4̶5̶0̶0̶ ̶<br />-̶ ̶E̶a̶r̶l̶y̶ ̶D̶o̶n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶:̶ ̶$̶7̶5̶0̶ ̶<br />-̶ ̶R̶e̶m̶a̶i̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶B̶i̶l̶l̶:̶ ̶$̶3̶8̶0̶0̶<br /><br /><strong>UPDATE (10/16):</strong><br />- Total Surgery + Meds: $4685.51<br />- Follow-up X-rays: $330<strong><br />[ TOTAL BILL: 5015.51 ]<br /></strong>- Early donations: $734<br />- Other donations: $320<br />- Charity funding: $1310.51<br /><strong>[ REMAINING BILL: $2650.50 ]</strong><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42690662_1571012669392367_r.jpeg" alt="42690662_1571012669392367_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><strong>I will be keeping a journal of her progress on my Twitter (@mal4m)</strong> so you can know just how she's doing and how the funds raised are being utilized.<br /><br />Those who also know my podcast Every F'n FF, I will be listing off every name/screen name on a future episode of everyone who donated and helped ensure this sweetie gets taken care of.<br /><br />I've already received outpouring donations and support from friends and strangers alike leading up to this campaign, and I'm so deeply thankful and moved for them. I'm blown away by the kindness of people and can't express enough my (or this kitten's) gratitude if you choose to donate.<br /><br />Thank you so much! Let's get this girl her legs back!<br /><br />Alex<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42690662_1571111165728959_r.jpeg" alt="42690662_1571111165728959_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

Highway Kitten Needs Surgery to Walk Again

I was told the cat had been abandoned months ago, and was constantly being kicked around and mistreated by the residents. When I arrived I saw the cat, now named Indigo, on the concrete floor next to a car. I assumed he was dead since he looked horrible and had flies swarming all over him. When I approached him he got up and immediately started nuzzling me. He was a complete sweetheart. Upon inspecting him he had wounds all over his back. One wound was old, while two puncture wounds were fresh. The old wound was expelling puss, and covered in dried blood. The new wounds were still fresh, and bleeding. I immediately transferred him to the vet. Upon inspection of the vet, I was told the old wound was from being skinned. The new wounds were from being attacked by a big dog, which punctured him on both sides. I have no idea what this cat has been through, however he still remains a complete sweetheart. Indigo has a long road to recovery, and needs your help. His vet bills are totaling more than $2,000. We were able to put up $1,500 for his services, but the remaining amount has not yet been paid. Please help in any way that you can.
