Daisy is my cat of eleven years. On 24 March we rushed to Bakersfield Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $3,150. They have stabilized Daisy, but the treatment can't wait beyond June. Daisy is more than a pet - Daisy walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $240 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 Bakersfield Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Daisy's recovery. Where the $3,150 goes: • Hospitalization (4 nights): $840 • Medication and follow-up visits: $200 • Emergency surgery: $2,110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Thomas

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 57% funded and the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($977). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts.

    what's already covered and what's the $3,150 for?

    • Wishing you the best, Thomas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

      • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.

        • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Chattogram

          • Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Bakersfield.

            • It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

                  Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
