what exactly is the $2,700 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($1,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean.
How long do you have before February?
Yes February is the real date. I'm working on a few other things at the same time but this is the main hurdle. Good question.
Hope things get better soon, Alexandra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Best of luck, Alexandra. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
any update on how things are going in Brooklyn?
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Has the vet's estimate been checked by the HelpBLESS team?
I sent the vet's estimate in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you, Alexandra. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Alexandra?
Thank you. If you're in Brooklyn I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Love from Aswan.
who gets the funds, you or the vet clinic?
I pay the vet clinic and post the receipt here so you can see where it went. Thanks for asking.
Keep going, Alexandra. Poor Archie, hope they feel better soon. Take care
Poor Archie, hope they feel better soon. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Good luck, Alexandra. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Alexandra. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Coyoacán.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Badagry this morning.
