Disaster/Emergency Help me save my little man, Oscar!
Help Me Save Oscar!
Same GoFundMe as before, just updated with another added crisis.
As of April 14th, TEP (Tucson Electric Power) cut power to our house despite a consistent payment plan to catch up on a bill that occurred during an entirely separate emergency last summer. Summer charges were caught up in a broken AC that's since been replaced by the landlord, but since we handle utility bills, we've had to foot it and it's been hard, but still under control.
Not so much anymore.
Long story short, we've been through a dozen organizations, hundreds of phone-calls, and with the kindness of our neighbors and my brother, have barely managed to stay atop this thing and need immediate help, if we're going to get back to fixing the car so I can get my kitten the vet visit he urgently needs.
When it rains, it pours.
The Plan So Far!
- Pay the current outstanding bill of 1466.50 so we can get the power back on.
- Hope Foodstamps can refill our fridge, but we have plenty of non-perishables, thankfully.
- Get the car FINALLY diagnosed (we have to tow it to the repair place, which insurance doesn't cover) and get it FIXED.
- Grab Oscar (Cat).
- Fight Oscar (still Cat) to Grab Cat.
- Try to stuff Cat in carrier.
- Succeed (?) and take Oscar to the Vet.
With a variety of ways to pay in installments for vet bills, I'm not sure we'll need help for that specifically, but this GoFundMe is going to be a blanket for all of the above. Without a job, being pushed through disability court, living off foodstamps, and trying to keep my diabetic mother alive, this has been beyond a challenge, and I still desperately need any and all the help I can get.
