Help Sienna Save Her Cat Vene
Donation protected

Hello, my name is James, and I am fundraising to help my girlfriend save her beloved cat as well as help get her feet on the ground. Sienna is a wonderful, hardworking, and talented person who just keeps getting knocked down, so I have come to you for help.
Recently, her cat, Vene, was diagnosed with Pyometra, which is fatal if she does not get emergency surgery, but Sienna simply cannot afford to save her. Sienna has had her for most of her life and Vene has been one of her best friends and has acted as her emotional support animal for all that time. Until this diagnosis, her sweet little girl has been totally healthy, always energetic, cuddly, and a fiend for attention, showing no signs of decline, so Sienna is not ready to give up on her yet.
Here is a little about Sienna and her situation:
Sienna will be 21 years old this Tuesday, August 20th and she works part time in the design industry while she is pursuing her degree for interior design as a full-time student. She lives with her single mother who raised her alone, caring for her and paying the bills until Sienna was old enough and started helping out. When things were stable, Sienna had a little more freedom, but her mom, who was working two jobs just to get by, was laid off from them (because of downsizing and automation), deepening their already tight financial struggle. She has gotten a new job, but when your family is living paycheck to paycheck, unemployment, even for a short time, can be disastrous. They have had issues with apartments raising rent to the point that they have had no choice but to move, car repairs that sucked away the little savings they had, and constant stress about whether they'll be able to take care of themselves. And then suddenly, Vene gets sick and needs surgery. That freedom that Sienna had as a teenager has vanished, and she is needing to grow up quickly, taking on an unfair level of responsibility.
The part that frustrates me the most about what Sienna and her mom are dealing with is that it's entirely out of their control. No matter how frugal, hardworking, and responsible they are, they still can't catch their breaths.
I fear that if things do not start getting better, she will have to give up her dream of being an interior designer to just work for making ends meet, and I don't ever want her to have to make that decision. For someone with amazing potential, talent, and drive, so much of it is being wasted on crappy situations that keep getting thrown at her.
I am asking you to please give 5 or 10 dollars, or even just one to help them pay for this important surgery and to give them a little room to breathe this month with expenses. If you can't donate or even if you do, please share this on socials and with anyone you can.
We appreciate all of your help immensely.
