Please help Elena pay for Ginger's emergency treatment at Riverside Animal Hospital.

Riverside
Ginger is my cat of six years. On 25 May we rushed to Riverside Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,450. They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $230 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to Riverside Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ginger's recovery. Where the $1,450 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $165 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $670 • Emergency surgery: $615 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
