Help Snow Heal

Hi everyone,
My name is Bayan Omar and I am raising money to help fund my sister and brother in laws cat, Snow. Snow was the first cat that my sister and brother-in­law have ever owned, and carries extreme sentimental value because he was one of the first gifts, my sister received from my brother-in-law during their engagement. Snow is a ragamuffin cat, who is not only the most loving and smart cat, he is also a companion and part of the family. Snow just turned five years old this May. Snow is a 5 year old male who was diagnosed with chylothorax. Chylothorax is when the thoracic duct is leaking fluid into the lungs, and fills up the lungs, quickly making it very hard for snow to breathe. Snow has had multiple fluid drainage from his lungs and has been going though therapy. Snow has had multiple specialist visits to rule out any diseases, cancers and tumors. Snow is a very healthy, male cat who is need of a very complicated surgery. Unfortunately, Snow has exhausted his insurance coverage (all used on the therapies and care) , and is need of a critical expensive surgery to prolong his life and strengthen his health. Snow will need TDL (thoracic duct litigation) surgery that will need hospitalization after. An echocardiogram showed his heart is strong enough to be able to perform the procedure. The surgery cost about $17,000 excluding fees for supportive care and long term costs.  We kindly ask for any assistance and support to help with surgery. Any kind of contribution will help and support in providing Snow with a healthy and happy life.
