HELP needed, our furry friends need cancer-removal surgery! <3

Nelson / Tasman

Kiaora.

I will start this little blurb by mentioning, we are just coming up to Misty's 3rd birthday. Misty is my friend and little rat companion. We've been through Lockdowns, moving homes, ups and downs, a pregnancy, and all sorts together. Misty is mumma to a 2 year old daughter named Hazy. Hazy is half Norweigan Ship Rat, whom Misty went to town with one stormy night whilst we were living in a rural area. Long story. But we are a very happy little family now, although we are asking for financial help. Both Misty and Hazy have acquired beniegn tumors (which, in english, means a non invasive cancer) and it's a common and relatively simple surgery to remove them. Along with my own health reasons and recuperating from a lost business due to the pandemic, the cost of the surgery for both rats is too much for me to manage alone in the timeframe we have. These tumors, lumps, are growing very quickly. If I knew I could manage this in the next month I wouldn't ask. But if a big group of us can all put a small amount towards their surgery, I beleive they can continue to live a very comfortable, happy and exciting life. Please. These guys are incredible creatures, they have a lot of life left in them they have a very healthy life besides these tumors. I have gone above and beyond to give them the best quality of life and I mean to keep on doing so.

Thank-you, I appreciate any help given with all my heart.

Ben, Misty & Hazy.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
