Spirit's Vet Expenses

Donation protected
My name is Hanna.
I am starting a campaigne to raise money for a very expensive vet bill. Spirit the cat is very sick and needing extensive procedures to cure and  to prevent death. My story with him is unique.
My husband's mother passed away recenlty, way to early as a result of a life long struggle with MS (multiple sclerosis. She became very ill and left us. Her one wish she asked for as she was sick in the hospital "please take care of my cat" Please take spirit."  I did. Derek and I did.
 I reached out and took him here to my home to care for him and give him a chance at life.  ( I already own 2 cats and have a full house of children ) Spirit would have a family. We would just have to make room for him :) 
I have had him for 4 days. Yes only 4 days. Immediatly i had realised that this cat was grieveing, stressed, and ill. I took him to the vet after realizing that he CANNOT go pee. He cant do it on his own. He hadnt gone. He was in pain and looking so helpless.
He was diagnosed with urethral obstruction/blocking and struvite crystals. His bladder was so full and backed up, it became the size of a softball. If he did not get the help he needed to free the blockage he would die in a matter of 48 hours. 
I would not live with myslef if I didnt help this animal. I agreed to take him and he is my responsibility now. I would be very thankful for some support with these extreme bills I have been handed and expected to pay immediately. This is an expense that my family and I were not prepared for.  
Recent losses and this ill cat has kept me from my work further causing stress on my savings and budget for this situation.
All the money raised for spirit will go to his bills and to pay for the innitial stock of food needed for his new diet plan. He will spend the rest of his life eating a perscription diet that I can only get at a vet office. I was told that he cannot eat typical food from the grocercy becuase this causes the crystals health issue. I am still learning about his condition and working with the vet to cure him. His doctor is very kind and helpful.
