BLESSING EVANS needs our help

**jenluckenbach** · 09-24-2006, 07:09 AM

I registered so I can read about Blessing. I also had a small amount in my paypal account ($19) that I gladly sent to help her get this much needed operation.

Thank you, Jen! Especially since I know your own shelter is going through some growing pains of its own.

Barb (IMOM treasurer) has posted an update in Blessing's thread. I have copied and pasted it below for those who may not be able to access their board. Evidently, a member has issued a challenge. He/She will send in a matching donation of up to $250 for the funds raised TODAY (Sunday). So, if you've been thinking about donating, today is the day to do it:

BarbaraIMOM Today, 04:23 AM Post #27
Here's where we are this morning:

381.00 Donations for Blessing
89.00 Donations for Blessing that qualify for match
89.00 Match so far

559.00 Total available to date (IMOM is trying to raise $720 per vet estimate minus 10% discount he's giving Blessing)

Folks, we still have a ways to go, but we're getting very close. The next $161 dollars donated today will be matched, so let's go! It's a pretty cool deal to have your donation for Blessing doubled :-) And Blessing needs to get to the vet ASAP!

Probably very close. THANKS.

THANK YOU ALL! For those of you who haven't visited Blessing's thread on IMOM, here's an update from Barb (IMOM Treasurer) last night:

Challenge met!!!! Blessing has $625, with another $250 coming from our angel donor, which is enough to meet the low end. I'll let Tracy know so she can do her thing now.

Thanks everyone for participating!

Barb/IMOM

(Tracy is the IMOM volunteer handling this case. She will be contacting the Vet today to let them know we have raised the funds so that surgery can proceed ASAP). Thank you all for your donations. Please remember IMOM if you are ever faced with expensive vet procedures. Remember, they will help you raise funds BEFORE treatment -- not after.

All funds have been raised for Blessing. Her Daddy is working with the vet to get a surgery date. Right now it looks like October 12th. But, that is too long to wait, so IMOM is doing everything they can to make it happen sooner.

**Catty1** · 09-26-2006, 10:25 PM

I hope it can happen sooner...but I'd rather see it done correctly than hurried and squeezed into a tight time spot!

I was just reading the thread in IMOM. Boy, that is one happy cat-dad!

**kuhio98** · 10-14-2006, 09:27 AM

I just wanted to let you know that Blessing had her surgery on Thursday and is home and doing fine. Her entire tail did not have to be amputated after all. She still has a little left. No updated pictures yet, but you can follow her progress HERE

Thank you to all who donated. Please keep IMOM in mind if you are facing an expensive procedure with your baby. Read their guidelines very carefully to make sure you qualify.
