I'm "finally" re-trying my wish !!! {Why it took so long - long story}.
There are an awesome number of wishes each week; I just ask, that 'this week' you please, Please, PLEASE pick me !!!
My companion cat, Bandit, has been diabetic for over two years. Therefore, should he get sick, it can be serious. On March 8th, he began throwing up and couldn't keep anything down - so I rushed him to the Pet Emergency Hospital. They did tests; an IV; meds; etc. I brought him home the following afternoon. Later it started again; then he quit eating & drinking; continued to throw up until it was just foam ~ so per my Vet, again rushed him back to the Hosp.
During the first trip, I had called the local Pet Assistance, and got a $75 donation from United Animal Nations to the Hosp.; and a website to contact. I also told the Pet Hosp. I was on Disability, and didn't know how I would pay the bill. [They, in addition to my Vet, kept telling me to apply for Care Credit - this too is a long story, 'but', the -ultimate mess- I am in; with HORRENDOUS interest & payments !!!]
In my state of panic and frenzy and an anxiety attack or two - I later, stupidly, applied for Care Credit, AFTER, having written numerous detailed emails to a pet foundation, whose addy I got through Pet Assistance.
Here is the breakdown of the bill -after- the $75 donation: $3,346 [minus a one time only grant of $500 from AAHA Helping Pets Fund; minus $18, rtn'd 6 cans of Rx cat food; minus $10 from donation of 1st time for this wish] = $2,818.00.
"I" even ended up in the E.R. for 18 hrs. during all of this !!!
Please help me !!! I'm on SSI, and all the other pet foundations I have contacted do not donate "after the fact" -or- "once treatment has begun" !!! [I don't know how they expect you to know about them, let alone go through all the BS -before- your pet gets -any- treatment, when they are on the brink of death !!!]
Bandit is all I have left; and he is such a SWEET BOY !!! He helps with my B.P.; the depression times from my severe pain & illnesses. We play; he keeps me on my toes; & is great company !!! Please help me with this enormous bill !!!
I would truly appreciate donations too !!!
Thank you all so very very much, and God bless ! (more)

I sure wish I could donate. But I am giving my 5
animals always gets fives from me.
I'm so sorry about Bandit. I dealt with my Opie Kitty's diabetes for six years. Many times I had to rush him to the vet and once to the Emergency Clinic. You can't walk in there for under $500, then the tests add up. I know how much Bandit means to you...he is your child. Good luck!
Thank you so much !!! God bless !!!
:) You'll be ok, you're going to win!
Pay off that nasty bill.
Good Luck!
Good luck to you. Yeah Care Credit. It's a blessing and a curse. My interest rate is like 22% or something crazy. I bet your is the same. Well I hope things work out.
I normally don't vote on nice wishes, but I'm voting for you since you made it so easy for me to click the link to vote for your wish. Good job!
good luck
I hope you are able to get some assistance, best of luck. Bandit is a beauty!
I'll keep praying for help; and putting my wish up !!! Thank you !!! *hugs*
Poor Bandit! I hope you get some donations and also get your wish!

If something were to happen to my cat, it would break my heart and the kids' hearts too. I will be back to vote.
I will be back with my vote of 5. A lot of people don't realize how close a companion a cat or dog can be. They truly are wonderful for the ill ,the disabled and the elderly. My wonderful neighbor who is 80 years young, has a huge and loving boy named Buster. He comes to visit my Mom and I and just makes himself at home. It always cheers my mom so much to have cats around.
Oh oh...I am ramblin' again...or is it a senior moment?
