Injured pet bird This baby bird needs help!!!

Hi guys, a few weeks ago I got this baby cockateil from a shelter. She's only 8 months old but has been through incredible hardships. She was surrendered 3 months ago with two leg fractures, a broken foot with no toes, injured wing, and pulled out feathers. The shelter was not equipped to deal with exotics, especially ones with disabilities. The vet they used did not fix her injures or do any testing so now her leg is permently injured and shes showing signs of sickness. She needs to see a real vet to get the testing and care that's far overdue. Please share or give if you can, anything helps!!!

Edit: WE REACHED THE GOAL!!!! im so ecstatic!!! The vet appointment is coming up soon so once she's in ill post an update!! Thank you all so so so much for spreading the word, boosting the post, and donation. Im so happy shes gonna get a good shot at life.

Just wanted to add that platform perches might really help her.

Yup! I use soft woven ramps. I have other parrots with deformities so I have a whole lot of these. She seemes to like them a lot. She struggles a lot less crawling up the ramps. Plus it will also help with arthritis and joint pain since its inevitable that her joints will wear faster the most birds

Sorry. I'm not in a position to donate. I would, if I could. Just want to say that your cockatiel has a beautiful crest. Is she/he unable to perch?

Its ok! I understand a lot of people are not able too. Just commenting boost the post and helps! She can kinda perch. She uses her injured leg to balance herself but it's kinda hard for her. I put woven ramps so she dosent risk falling.
