If you are in need of a life or death surgery for your pet do not look at this organization!! My cat needs a very complex surgery done. I applied to this organization cause I'm out of work and I'm a single widow mom and I need help paying for my cats surgery. I first went to a specialty hospital and saw a numerologist and paid for her to have an mri to find out what was happening to her. The mri revealed she has a polyp in her nasal. Cavity near her brain which caused a massive infection and meningitis. Surgery is needed asap to stop the infection so she can live a full life. I git a quote from the hospital but to save me some money the neurologist consulted with the surgeons so I didn't have to pay for another visit. We'll the numerologist records were not enough for Frankie's to help. So I seemed out getting a second opinion at a cheaper hospital. Had my first visit with just a vet and on that same visit the surgeon ce in quick to look at her mri and to check her over so again I didn't have to pay for another visit. So I scheduled the surgery with them and then a few days before the surgery date I had a phone consult with the surgeon who would be doing the surgery, again so I didn't have to get my cat stressed by the car ride. So I submitted the new estimate which was lower than the other hospital and I submitted the records and of course it's not good enough for this place to help us. Two other organizations helped me with no issues of what records I provided. I can't even think straight right now with no sleep and so much stress trying to help my baby and this is the no help I'm given by a organization that is supposed to help animals.!! They are a disgrace and honestly don't want to help animals or it would be this hard to get help. I'm getting her the surgery of course with the other organizations help.
Don't even bother applying.
Hello Frankie, and Friends.
There is so many things I would like to tell you, about usI’m not quite sure where to start. I believe we, I should start by telling you, how much I owe you. There are no words for me to describe my gratitude for your help, when I, we needed it the most, and It seemed like I, we were at a dead end. You made the impossible, possible, you gave the broken hope where there was none. I would like to tell you about Noodles. Noodles was a 5 year old ferret, who changed so many lives as you have. Noodles brought love into my heart after my mother passed away from Alzheimer’s disease, I was in a very deep depression, I didn’t want to see, hear, eat, live. I stayed in my room, Noodles who was supposed to have been for my son snuck into my room, and never left. Named Noodles due to the obvious, he looked just like a small noodle he was a runt very small, but had the personality of a lion. Noodles, and I became inseparable he made me laugh like I have never laughed before, he filled my heart with so much love this tiny little thing was so powerful. Noodles was sweet, he never complained, the only thing he wanted was to have his nose rubbed, and fresh water daily, he loved his best friend a 110 pound pit bull, who noodles would clean, and make him mind his manners his stuffed flamingo toy, and would wait for me to fall asleep at night so he could sneak, and climb up my bed into the covers with me to sleep. I want you to know I Loved Noodles more then I could ever tell you. Just two weeks ago now, Noodles wasn’t acting like noodles, he wasn’t attacking his Flamingo toy, and having trouble going potty. I rushed noodles into the emergency veterinarian clinic, noodles needed surgery to remove kidney stones, his tiny little bladder was full. I unemployed, took out a loan, still it was not sufficient to cover the costs of this delicate surgery, and days in the emergency hospital. Frankie, and All Of You’re Friends Came To Our Rescue.❤️ Noodles did not survive the the surgery, I think noodles was an Angel like you all. Frankie, and Friends I want to try to make this as understandable as possible, you saved more then just the life of noodles that day, I will Pass It On For Frankie & Noodles & All of The Friends forThe Rest Of My Life. I can Promise You that. You will always have another& Friends here Frankie❤️ Thank You. xo Tammy, Noodles, Blue xo
I am a long time supporter of Frankie's Friends. I first learned about the organization when my 13 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever was being treated, at a specialty hospital, for lung cancer. While I was so fortunate to be able to afford the care Hunter needed, I witnessed a family in the lobby who were struggling to find a way to pay for the lifesaving treatment their dog needed. Credit Card declined. How heartbreaking it is to witness a Mother and young Son so desperately holding on to the dog they loved, trying to figure out how they can afford to save its life. Because of Frankie's Friends this family and their beloved dog received help during a time of great need. Frankie's Friends exists to help such families each and every day. What an amazing and dedicated group. The smile on the little boy's face, when they were told there was a way they could be helped, will forever be embedded in my mind.
I am an avid supporter of Frankie's Friends because they make it possible for so many families to receive lifesaving and life changing care for their furry family members that would otherwise be financially impossible for them. I cannot imagine the heartbreak of not being able to give your beloved pet the care they need, and Frankie's Friends is there to alleviate this devastation for so many. Frankie's Friends is an amazing group of dedicated individuals with hearts for animals and a devotion to helping those in need, providing the means for getting pets well, and keeping families together. They are the best!
Frankie’s Friends is an amazing organization which changes lives of pets and their owners. They make a difference every day and the Frankie’s and Friends team could not be more dedicated to their cause.
Frankie’s Friends is a wonderful organization that helps fur parents in their greatest time of need. I can’t think of a more difficult situation than to see your little one in need and not be able to help because of a financial hardship. I also can’t think of a greater lift than to have an organization like Frankie’s be there to help.
Luckily, I haven't had to use them in terms of them helping me or my pets personally but I have worked with the staff of this organization for years and have heard so many great stories of people and pets that get the help they need both financially and emotionally during a traumatic time or through a grave illness. It is just amazing when this organization does for families and people as well as many beloved animals!!
