Help Mariana save Simba - surgery needed

Please help Mariana pay for Simba's emergency treatment at Rochester Animal Hospital.

Simba is my cat of three years. On 7 July we rushed to Rochester Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,200. They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Simba is more than a pet - Simba got me through my hardest year. I have already put $220 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Rochester Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,200 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $290 • Medication and follow-up visits: $340 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $570 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
