Help save Tom

Hello, My name is Doreen Oliver-Kadar and I am posting this ad to raise money for our 3 year old cat named Tom. Tom has a very bad ear tumor that has to be surgically removed, otherwise Tom could get very sick or possibly die. I would like tell you a little about myself, my family and why I am here asking for your help. I am a stay home mother of two and I am currently pregnant with our third child. My husband Peter works full time to support our family and Tom. To make a long story short, bills have been a little difficult this year, and we are not sure we can raise $2500 for toms surgery before its too late. We already saved $500 and continue to save money everyday for Tom. Tom has been in our family since he was a small kitten, and has always loved and played with our children. I am asking for your help today, because we are having trouble funding the money ourselves. I think it means a lot for Tom to grow up with my children, and for my children to grow with Tom. I would not even know what to say to my children, if Tom where to pass away. I know it sounds simple just to say " Tom went away to a better place", but they wouldn't understand at their age. Please help us raise the money for toms surgery, it will save his life and provide our children with a great companion throughout their childhood. Thank you for your time, compassion and help.
