Who is able to help Naomi? (Nomilyn)

I will talk to my bank and see what I can do.

I would be honored to donate to Bassett's surgical fund; waiting for more details, then it's on it's way...Hang in there Naomi and Basseett, the cavalry is on the way!!:) Sandra

I will contribute as soon as I hear what is the best way.

OK
Maybe I have some extra money for you Naomi :)

This is so wonderful--everyone is so great!! I would love to help, so I will be waiting for further info.

Of course, I will donate to help out sweet Bassett and Naomi!!!!
It is correct that any American money will exchange to a bit more in Canadian money ... so that will make your dollars go further!!!

EXAMPLES: (Approximate but should be very close!)

$10.00 American will be about $14.00 in Canadian
$20.00 American will be about $28.00 in Canadian
$30.00 ***************** $42.00************
$40.00 ***************** $57.00 ************
$50.00 ***************** $71.00 ************

Could someone e-mail me Naomi's address?

Thanks!

Ohh this is so sad :( Unfortunately things like these happen for no reason ... whats great is when you know people who will help you during this hard time. I know how you must feel .. so I would be glad to help out ... is there anyway to get the money through paypal?

Karen is looking into the best way for everyone to pay donations, so keep watching for an update.

I would also like to donate. I will keep checking this thread for more info. Hang in there Naomi!!

yea i just read the whole thread, I was too anxious to reply i forget to read the other pages ... ;)

I'd love to help..I cant give a lot as I dont have it, but hopefully it could help..?

Despite Kia's recent hospital visit, I'll see what I can do. :)

Hugs to Naomi and Bassett.

The last couple of replies are especially touching. Giving out of your need is more admirable than giving out of you abundance. (Widow's mite)

*Bump*

Naomi....

Is your address the same as it was on the Christmas Card list?

Naomi, I mailed your check out this morning to your address so it should hopefully be there in 5-7 days. :D

I'll help Naomi and Bassett as much as I can. As soon as we hear from Karen about the best way to do it I'll send my contribution.
Probably sending an international money order is an easy way to solve the exchange problem.

in for a penny,
in for a donation.

I have spoken to the Hospital Administrator.

She said probably the simplest way for people to contribute would be by credit card and telephone. The credit card companies will automatically do the coversion from marks, American dollars, pounds - whatevere currency, credit card companies deal with that all the time.

If you call them, you need to say you like to make a contribution toward Bassett Anderson's surgery. You will need your name, credit card number and expiration date, and she said they'll also send you a receipt, so she'll ask for your address.

This would be simpler than money orders, checks, etc., as she understands we want to keep this simple and secure!

The phone number of the
Animal Critical Care Group: 604-473-4882
They are open Pacific Standard time from 8am to 8 pm.

Okay, everyone?

I can donate money also. I mow the grass every week and she can have the money I make from that. Sorry it's not alot, I hope it helps.

Hi everyone!

WOW.. hopefully I can cover all this info.. let's see if I got it right.

I'm not setting up a paypal account. However, if you call the hospital directly you can give a credit card donation. Sharon actually said that would be easiest for them (that doesn't count people sending ME personal cheques/money orders).

My home address is the same as the Christmas card list. If you need it again, please PM me.

Sharon (the hosp administrator) has talked to me and to Karen, and she said that because this is a special case, they will take personal cheques and money orders from other currencies. The cheques/money orders have to be made out to "Animal Critical Care Group" and somewhere on the document needs to be my account, so "Naomi/Bassett Anderson" so that they know which account to put the money in. So, for those who want to send a cheque/money order right to the hospital, that is possible. For those who want to make a credit card donation, that is possible, just call reception and they will put the dollar amount into my account. For those who want to send ME the money, PM me for my address and I will cash the papers at the bank and take cash to the hospital. You can also send me cheques/money orders for the hospital and I can deliver them in person, if you are more comfortable with that.

However, the less paperwork that is sent to the hospital, the better. Sharon said that it makes them like a bank and I totally understand. I don't mind doing the legwork to get cheques and money orders cashed. If you can, please donate via credit card. It's the easiest way for the hospital to keep track of it all.

I hope this makes sense. I hope that Karen will post as well, so in case I've missed anything she will cover the difference. I'm a bit overwhelmed still *smiles through tears*

oh.. and here is the big news of the day..

******BASSETT'S SURGERY IS ON JUNE 23 @ 9AM******

So it's all really happening.. wow.

Thank you everyone for all your help. This is just amazing :) There is one thing that I need to tell you all though; this surgery is NOT a guarantee. This is Bassett's best CHANCE, but there is no definate outcome. I want people to know that up front, in case it changes their mind about whether to send money. I don't know if it will, but I want to make sure that people have all the info. It wouldn't be fair if I didn't tell you about that.

Anyway, I will be away for the next few days. I'm going to a birthday party/wedding planning thing for my best friend until Friday. I will try to check into Pet Talk while I'm away, but no guarantees. I gave Karen my phone number, so if anything really pressing happens, she can call me and tell me to get my butt online ;) My grandparents are coming to collect my mail, so no worries about cheques sitting in a mail box. Bassett goes into boarding at the vet this afternoon.

Thank you ALL SO MUCH for this. I'm so blessed to have you all in my life.

Thank you.. and Bassett says: gfvm,yhxuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudfuychyuh

Thanks Karen, I'll call them soon :D

Hang in there Basset! You'll be fine

I just called and donated, and will tell you the woman that takes the CC information ***might*** make you cry. She is as grateful for us as I know Naomi and Bassett are!!!

I'll second that--I just talked to her and I'm still tearing up a little. :) I think you'll be in good hands, Bassett, honey.

I;m late getting here - just to say I'm SO pleased Jen., had this wonderful idea - good for you Jen.
I'm just getting onto the phone now to get through to Canada and donate to Naomi and Bassett - hang in there both of you - we all love you and between us we maybe able to make a difference. {{{Hugs}}}

Lynne

I'll ask my dad tonight if he will call and donate some money. We would all love to help you out Naomi. :)

The power of Pet talk never ceases to amaze me, isnt this just so wonderful to see, i think best way for me is a money order sent to you personally, might take a little while but it will get there in the end hopefully.
GOOD LUCK LIL KITTY with your surgery. cheeers

What did she say? I'm really curious to know :) I might go in there this week and see how they are doing..

Also can anyone who donates by cc or cheque straight to the hospital please pm me and let me know? I want to make sure everyone gets a personal thank you from me and Bassett :)

Bastet and I will donate. I havea paypal account with some money in it... Do you want me to pm you Naomi? or would it be easier by credit card. Itty Bitty pm me and we can sort something out for you :)

I Just called ... I said "Hi, I'd like to make a contribution to - " and she's like "Ohhh, for Bassett Anderson" lol, I guess she's used to getting those calls now :) They seemed really nice

Naomi,
Let me assure you- it was a wonderful exchange. I called and first said to reception, " I would like to speak to someone concerning a donation to their account" and she immediately said, "For Bassett?". Then, I got to Sharon, in the back, and identified myself and she said, "For Bassett?" I said yes. She just went on to tell me how wonderful this all is, that she had just spoken to another person donating, and Mayor Karen, and of course, you. She was amazed at how powerful this all was, and that Bassett would be getting the best of care, and that you must be a special person, and we all knew Bassett was a special kitty. I learned she was from Texas. She told me I must have thought I was talking to a Canadian...since I spelled Cincinnati (and she knew Ohio). I laughed and told her there are plenty of Americans that can't spell Cincinnati, shoot, plenty of OHIOIANS for that matter. She just made me feel really good, like it was no trouble at all for her to take my CC, and figure the exchange rate for me...just a very nice person.

Naomi, I jumped the gun (as is usual for me....I have NO patience) but the money order I sent you is in the animal care unit's name and Your name is on it as reference. Hopefully I will not be thought of as the one that caused all the "book work" for the vet clinic. hee hee:D

Count me in.:D I would be glad to help precious Bassett.

I am in the process of getting a credit card,.......... and then you can count me in .....

Although the Aussie dollar is not very good against the American, I will donate what I can.

Cheers
Michelle

Naomie - just got off the phone from talking to Sharon (what a lovely lady) and donating for dear Bassett's op. This has made things so much easier for us 'foreigners'!! Being able to pay with a credit card saves so much time. {{{Hugs}}} coming across to you both xxx

Lynne

I'm planning on donating, but it may not be for a few more days. I'm a little short on cash right now because I sent some money to help Kim with Kia's vet bills. But I should have a little more extra money before the surgery. I'll be sure to PM you when I send the money.

Just off the phone myself, I agree Sharon is such a sweet lady. :D
