Save Simba: Joshua can't afford the emergency vet
Please help Joshua pay for Simba's emergency treatment at the Columbus Emergency Vet Clinic.
🇺🇸 United States2,544 views
Simba is my German shepherd of six years. On 1 July we rushed to the Columbus Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,900.
They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Simba is more than a pet - Simba is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $190 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 the Columbus Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,100
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $280
• Medication and follow-up visits: $250
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $270
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Joshua
Update from Columbus: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 28% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
19% there. I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits. Thank you.

Shared this with my family. Greetings from Fort Worth
Thinking of you and your family, Joshua. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 3 people at work. All the best.
Keep going, Joshua. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Toronto.
wishing you peace, Joshua. Hope this works out for you. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone, Joshua. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
