Urgent GoFundMe: Help Frank and His Pets w/ Medical Issues and to Survive

Donate to Help Frank and His Cat Through Hard Times, organized by Frank Holmes

Hi, everyone. I'm Frank. I've fallen on hard times recently, and have been real… Frank Holmes needs your support for Help Frank and His Cat Through Hard Times

www.gofundme.com

Hi, all. I wish I didn't have to do this, but this is really serious. Not only have I been out of work for almost 4 months, I've lost my health insurance, and was denied benefits from Job and Family Services. I am only able to eat due to plasma donations and the kindness of others. Luckily, I live in public housing or I would likely be homeless. I have no transportation and don't receive any government support.

But this is urgent not only for my own survival, but that of my pets, especially my dog. She has been having major health issues for a year now. She's wasting away due to not really being able to eat because of dental issues. She needs oral surgery, and who knows what meds and other treatments. I just held her through a seizure, which is terrifying. I was scared she would die. She is hanging in there but this needs to be taken care of ASAP.

I can also use some of this money to pay the court fees to file paperwork in probate court to get my mom's pension out. So I just need a little help to get to a place where I will be secure. But the most important thing is getting my dog help, at this point.

I don't have anywhere else to turn. I strongly appreciate any help anyone can get. As much as I'm struggling, I would rather suffer than my poor dog. I don't want to lose her. I'm grateful for anything. Thank you for reading. Everyone feel free to share this, too.

My dog is still having seizures every few minutes. I don't know if it's going to stop, and it's almost 2 am here. So I've taken her to the emergency vet, which is an arm and a leg. I don't know if I can afford anything more than the exam. The vet and I will discuss it.

May she receive the healing that she needs.

They're recommending euthanasia, basically because she apparently has neurological issues, needs an MRI and I can't afford that. I'm looking at a bill of thousands, it sounds like. The vet walked out to give me time to make a decision. Wtf. I can't kill my dog! Omg. I can't do this!

Are there credit options for you? Like CareCredit? Or some other payment plan arrangements? I know credit cards suck, but I had to do that when my dog needed an MRI. They are very expensive.

I wish you and your dog the best.

I just tried Care Credit and they denied me. I'm always denied for that stuff since I'm inbl debt by thousands of dollars and now I'm unemployed.

Vets don't do payment plans here, especially not emergency vets.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I'm going to have to make my decision soon. I've already okayed medication that I can't afford. I just can't afford to save my dog. It will be thousands of dollars, probably. I can't bring myself to say yes to it. My heart is broken.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

The exam is $195. With the IV anticonvulsant med, it's $350. I said yes to that, because how can I say no when my dog is having a seizure? But it cost $30 to get here and I have about $300 left so I can't even afford that!

I don't see anyway out of this.

As cold as it sounds I don't think you have a choice Frank.

Sounds like you would just be delaying the inevitable.

I know that's probably true. It just hurts so much. I really didn't think it would be this. She's the dog I've had the longest. I never really got to have a dog before (except for the golden retriever my mom got for me as her last gift but he was stolen by a junkie who was supposed to be watching him for me after a couple of years).

This is going to hurt like hell no matter what you do.

I'm just in shock. I wasn't prepared for this at all. Not one bit. I thought I'd mainly need seizure meds. Although, to be honest, my dog's condition has been getting worse and worse over the months. Even I sometimes wondered if she had dementia or something like that, but I didn't want to think about it. This is just too painful for me to handle.

It's not an easy thing to prepare for even if you know ahead of time. We always feel responsible for our pets, which makes us feel responsible for anything that happens to them, even if it's something we don't have any control over.

You'll handle it Frank, It just won't be any fun.

@Saint Frankenstein did the vets say there was any hope at all?

Well, she said she would want to keep her overnight and she would probably need an MRI to see what's going on with her brain. She would also need anticonvulsant meds for the seizures. They would want that money tonight. We also spoke about her prescribing me seizure meds but she was iffy about that.

I don't see what more you could do then.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

I've decided to get a prescription for seizure meds as I can't handle putting her down now.
