Help Kelly & Spartacus with his recent diagnosis of heart and renal failure

Auckland

Our lovely Kelly and her boy Spartacus need our help!

Kelly is an amazing friend and person who is always helpful and cheerful to those around her. Kelly hasn't had an easy past year, with lots of changes and obstacles thrown her way, but she persevered and got through tough times and rebuilt - often on her own, but with her Sparty by her side constantly. Kelly is not one to ask for help and is usually giving it to others, and everyday at work she dedicates herself to helping save native plants and animals. Lets return the favour!

Spartacus has recently been in the vet hospital VSG as he was experiencing complications from a shock diagnosis of renal and heart failure. This has involved lengthy and expensive vet fees. After a few weeks and lots of worry, vets have given Sparty's heart issues the all clear for now, but his kidneys still need managing and a special diet until he can eat on his own. Provided the food issue is sorted, the Vets have said that Sparty can live comfortably a little longer with Kelly.

The vet bills are rising, and Kelly is trying to manage payment on her own and applying for numerous finance options. Please help in whatever way you can, for someone who does so much for others and our environment, to be able to be with her little companion for a little longer.
