Our Current Reality
My name is David (I go by Max online), and I’ve lived here in Colorado for over 40 years. I’m a dedicated cat dad to two five-year-old twins, Luke and Leaya. I’m reaching out because I’ve hit a wall. I lost my steady job last year and have been trying to keep us afloat by driving for UberEats and Grubhub here in Longmont. But with gas prices what they are, I’m barely breaking even on my runs. I am actively interviewing for a new permanent position, but my bank account is at zero today, and my cats are almost out of food.
The Medical Necessity
My cats, Luke and Leaya, are five-year-old Scottish Fold twins. They both suffer from a condition that causes crystals to form in their urine. Without their specific prescription diet, these crystals act like tiny razor blades inside them, causing excruciating pain, internal bleeding, and life-threatening infections.
They cannot eat “regular” store-bought food. Even one meal of normal food stops their treatment from working and puts them back in physical agony. It is this specific diet or the ER.
The Goal: $185
I am not looking for a windfall or a long-term handout. I just need a bridge to keep them safe and out of pain until my finances stabilize. This is exactly what it costs to get them through the next 30 days:
- Royal Canin Urinary SO (Dry): $85
- Royal Canin Urinary SO (Wet): $85
- Platform Fees/Buffer: $15
- Total: $185
If you can help with $5, $10, or $20, it goes directly to their next shipment of food. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this link. Luke, Leaya, and I appreciate any help you can give more than we can say.
