Our sweet 3-month-old baby Eli's time may be very limited without medical intervention. Unfortunately, his heart condition is quite severe.
In order to even apply for a grant to get him the surgery he will need, we need to get the original diagnostics done through our vet, including a full blood panel and an echo. Time is of the essence, because even getting the grant approved and the process started take times to get in. His estimate (in comments) is only for the blood work. The Echo also will need to be done, our past echos were $300, plus we still need to pay off $200 that wasn't covered from his last ER visit.
We know our village has been helping us quite a big these last 5 months starting with Nugget and Boris's life-saving surgeries, but this is the nature of rescue.
Potato and Charles will survive until we can get their procedures and tests done, but they won't be able to go to new homes, unfortunately, until we do.
Anything you can spare to help our little guy is appreciated.
