Help me save my rescue, severe pneumonia and other

Donation protected
Update: Thanks to the 45 dollars raised I was able to get Oliver to the vet! Of course it did not pay anywhere near the whole bill but my grandmother was able to cover the rest once more to figure out what is actually wrong but that was the last time she will be able to help me. As of right now Oliver is suffering severe pneumonia, and undiagnosed sores. The vet says that his lungs sound absolutely horrible and that he could stop breathing depending on the amount of fluid he has built up. The only way we will be able to see in his lungs would be with a radiograph which would run us around 500 dollars. We have nothing left and we wouldn’t even afford to get him to the ER if he stopped breathing. Our case is become much worse and much more urgent, so if you are browsing looking for a cause to support please consider ours. [Original bio starts here] My name is Riley and today I’m humbly asking for help with my cat Oliver. Oliver is my whole world, my best friend, and helped me out of the worst times of my life. I am so humiliated to be on here asking for financial help but I am desperate and I don’t know what else to do. Just a week or so ago my cat Oliver started developing bloody sores all over his body and not long after under his eyes. He’s become mildly lethargic, eats only a quarter of what he used to, and won’t let me touch him. I have been rocked to my core by this situation and it has really the cherry on top to me having the worst year of my life although it’s only been a month. I am a 17 year old, with no license and no job not by any fault of my own and 2 dollars in my bank account. My parents are unable to help him and Im unable to receive any support from them over this. Oliver’s last vet appointment only happened because I went to my grandma in tears and begged her to help me out. I never would have accepted him if I knew I would have to do this all alone in his time of need. My grandmother is a wonderful woman but she only makes so much off of her social security checks and she can’t afford to help me any further. My parents can’t afford to help me take further action to help Oliver. I love them so much and I don’t blame them because these days it’s getting harder to provide but it doesn’t change the fact that Oliver needs help as soon as possible as he only continues to worsen. The result of his last appointment was so expensive just for them to tell me they don’t know what to do and stick us with an antibiotic that isn’t working meaning a second opinion is absolutely necessary as fast as possible. I’ve never dealt with a health issue like this in him and I am terrified. I feel so helpless, he means absolutely everything to me and if you can help in any way from 5 cents to 5 bucks absolutely anything can help us. He’s too young to die and I can’t lose him. Attached are the documents from his previous vet visit and photos of his condition so if you have a weak stomach I suggest looking away. My plan is to have a friend take us to a new vet if we raise enough money. I would do anything for this cat.
