Beth and Natalie Thanks for the ideas. I had heard of Chipin but not the Animal Wish List. Do I just do a search on Animal Wish List to find it?
I didn't want to "beg", if feels weird but if these kids need it I guess I can learn. My vet is helping me as much as she can but is a small town vet with no receptionist, no nothing. Her office is in an old house in town, one exam room and a countertop with file cabinets behind it for paperwork. Surgery is done in a small room in the basement with her mom helping to monitor heart/breathing, etc. Sounds hookie but she does good work. And she cares. Asking the $ be sent directly to her is perfect! I may give it a shot.
