Review for Actors & Others For Animals, North Hollywood, CA, USA
I can't find words to say how thankful I am for everything you guys have done for me and my little daisy. I cry like a baby every time I remember the moment I was about to lose my little girl and I got the miracle call from BEVERLY, while sitting next to my dog crying like no tomorrow and praying for her. I lost her mother due to the same illness a year before but there was no way to save her so imagine what was happening to me the moment I noticed same thing is happening with my other precious girl. About 12am I notice out of nowhere (she was perfectly fine right before all this) she started crying and that second my heart dropped. I check her and noticed she's having the same symptoms as my other precious girl that passed away. I started bursting in tears and at that moment my budget wasn't enough remembering the costs of the surgery and hospital care... I started searching with absolutely no hope but something pushed me to it. I don't remember but somehow I ended up at actors and others site and all I remember is filling something out and sending email or I'm not sure but yet no hope. I took her to the ER and they said her tummy is about to burst but we're not able to do anything so take her to the vet as soon as they open which was few hours later. I was crying hopeless while holding her in my arms and seeing her slowly giving up, while she was looking at me with this super sad/weak look.. that crushed my heartttt and just made me die inside. I get home impatiently waiting for the vet to open while calling million other places to get an idea but I knew I couldn't afford it at the moment so I was slowly giving up as well. Out of nowhere I get a private call, but I had forgotten about actors and others or any sites I have asked help from. I answered and it was AMAZING BEVERLY. This is Gods help I believe. Some faith I have lost in the past, came right back the second she said I'm going to try and help. My prayers were heard. I rushed her to the vet, they ran some tests and said we need to rush the surgery, she might make it. Beverly calls and says she might be able to get me to SAM AND SIMON FOUNDATION to get the surgery going as soon as possible. I called them , left a voicemail (I'm shaking and still crying like a baby thinking they might not have room for an emergency surgery) they called and said "bring her in ASAP" I drove all the way to them rushing there. They took my dog in within 30 minutes (this is already afternoon, I haven't ate or drank a thing, nor slept). During surgery Beverly called me and said she might not make it it was already spread everywhere (the bacteria). I was just begging for them to save her. Hour or 2 later.. she comes out of the surgery ALIVE but super weak. But then I had to figure out how I'm going to afford the costs for the hospital care and if we didn't give her the hospital care, she would die. Again Beverly did everything she could of even it was out of her lead and their budget but she went all the way for my Daisy and to save her precious life. We went that far, we couldn't leave her like that. So she called me back with good news AGAIN!!! The world was mine, I was soooo happy yet weak and shocked because of the blessing and help I got. She stayed at the hospital about a week and then she was all mine again, ALIVE AND WELL. ALL THANKS TO THIS AMAZINGGGGGG Organization. This June will be 1 year. I still praise them for everything they have done and LOTS OF THANKS TO SAM AND SIMON FOUNDATION AS WELL. They saved my little girls life! I love you guys so much!
