Please help me pay for Eva’s Surgery!

Hi guys,
Those of you who have followed me for a while know that I have two cats, Banshee and Eva. Today I’ve made the difficult decision to ask for help paying for my support animal’s surgery.
While I love Banshee, Eva’s been with me through the worst parts of my life. She was with me through a long abusive relationship, my grandmother’s death, my aunt and uncle’s deaths, a mental health diagnosis, a stint teaching in Korea that turned into more of a visa-hostage and unpaid labour situation, and a very recent breast cancer scare. She’s been there for me when I had no one else and I’m terrified of losing her.
Eva’s had a growing lesion on her gums for a few years now, making grooming, eating, and sleeping increasingly difficult. When I initially had it assessed back in 2018, the vet clinic quoted me $1,800 plus additional costs. I, as a student, had no way of paying for this and had to put it to the side. But now it’s getting worse and she’s in constant pain.

The vet explained that the condition she has is called Tooth Resorption (https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/tooth-resorption). She explained that the only thing that can be done is the removal of the effected tooth, and possibly the removal of all teeth. She seems to think that all of them will need to be removed. The estimate provided to me by the vet was between $1,163.90 and $1,586.09 CAD not including a pre-anesthesia blood draw which would add another $200 to the bill.
I’ve blacked out personal information because Eva was seen under my parents’ account and they live in a very small town.
Because of COVID I’m not able to work as much as I would usually, and even with saving everything I do get (from work and the government) this surgery will more or less wipe out my savings and make it difficult to pay rent.
If you can donate anything at all to put towards covering The cost of Eva’s surgery I would be beyond grateful. And if you can’t or don’t want to donate I definitely understand, but hope you wouldn’t mind boosting this.

I hope I’m not asking too much, and thank you for even stopping to read this.
May the fluff be with you.
