Oscar is my rabbit of three years. On 11 December we rushed to Jaffna Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $450. They have stabilized Oscar, but the treatment can't wait beyond March. Oscar is more than a pet - Oscar walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $35 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 Jaffna Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $450 goes: โ€ข Emergency surgery: $290 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $60 โ€ข Hospitalization (3 nights): $100 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gihan

  1. We're at 39% thanks to 7 of you. I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($154 in total) I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Praying for you, Gihan. Hope you get there. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Jaffna

    • wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
