Save Juno: Lester can't afford the emergency vet
A cat named Juno needs emergency surgery - a $150 bill the family can't cover.

Juno is my cat of two years. On 23 August we rushed to Calamba Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $150.
They have stabilized Juno, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Juno is more than a pet - Juno got me through my hardest year. I have already put $50 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 Calamba Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Juno's recovery.
Where the $150 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35
• Emergency surgery: $100
• Medication and follow-up visits: $15
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Lester
Quick update: $77 raised so far (51%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Calamba: I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
