Help me find strength after loss
Seeking help after losing my partner and his beloved cat, Zoe, as I navigate grief, PTSD, and unexpected vet expenses
Sunnynook, Auckland
Life changed drastically for me two years ago when I lost my partner, Jason, suddenly. He fought for nine days on life support, and watching him pass left me shattered. Ever since, I’ve been navigating life with grief and PTSD. Then, on August 28th, 2024, almost two years later, I faced another loss—one I wasn’t prepared for.
Zoe’s Story: Jason’s cat, Zoe, was my last living connection to him. This sweet, playful kitten-at-heart kept me company throughout my grief. At 18 or 19 years old, she didn’t act her age—everyone was amazed by her energy. But recently, Zoe fell ill. I rushed her to the vet, hoping it was something simple, but after an ultrasound, the diagnosis was devastating: her spleen had ruptured, and she had splenic tumors. There was nothing that could be done, and the most humane decision was to put her to sleep.
Losing Zoe so soon after Jason has been overwhelming. She was my constant companion, offering comfort during my darkest days. Jason loved her girl. He called us his girls collectively.
Why I Need Help: I’ve been struggling emotionally and financially to get back on my feet. While I usually don’t ask for help, as I prefer to help others via my charity, I’m at a point where I need support to cope with these hardships, and manage the costs involved with Zoe’s emergency care.
How You Can Help: I just need help to cover the unexpected vet cost and the cremation. This totaled $560

Ty So much Dee. Big hugs next time I see you.
Ty so much Julia - this means the world to me. One less worry about how I am going to get through this.
Ty so much for your donation. Our furbabies definately touch our hearts. And lil Zoe, was my Jason's girl. He loved her so much. I know if he were alive, he would not have been able to handle the decision. He freaked out when she had surgery a few years back and I had to put my strong face on for him.
