Where is a good place to get help with a fundraiser? - Lemmy.world
This and a mastodon account are the only social media I have. Sadly, I’m in an
awful position where I have to find funds for a lifesaving procedure for my boy,
or have him euthanized. Of course I’m doing what I think is best, and have a
fundraiser on GoFundMe [https://gofund.me/dee4bbd4]. Is there somewhere that
this would be best posted, to get visibility and potentially help? We’re at our
wit’s end.

Not pointing any fingers, but I’ve been told I’m ‘begging’ by sharing a
fundraising page, asking for help. Is there somewhere appropriate for such a
post? I’ve searched high and low, eventually opting for communities where it (to
me) made sense to post.
Seeking help for my boy - Lemmy.world
fundraising page here [https://gofund.me/dee4bbd4] Never thought I’d find myself
in this position, but here I am. Late one night last week, Bernie really wasn’t
himself and we felt a mass in his belly. We called an advice line and were told
it was an emergency situation, and that we needed to get him to an out of hours
vet immediately. Once he was checked, we learned he was suffering from something
called idiopathic feline lower urinary tract disease, meaning his urethra is
constricting and not allowing him to pass urine. He has had 3 catheters, and is
still unable to urinate. A fourth catheter has been inserted today, until he can
(hopefully) have surgery on Monday. The only option now to avoid losing him, is
a procedure called perennial urethrostomy, to create a new opening in his
urethra, so that he can urinate. Unfortunately the care he has already received
over the past week has taken us up to the limit of his insurance cover, and we
have been quoted £6,500 for the procedure. We are of course working to raise the
funds ourselves, but the avenues we’re exploring aren’t guaranteed and if
approved, are likely to take some time to get to us. This is a living nightmare
for us, so I’m throwing myself at the aid of the internet. Even if all you can
do is share the GoFundMe link where you think it may be seen by someone who can
help, we would all be so grateful. fundraising page here
