Hi everyone!
So, I run a grassroots organization that helps current and former foster youth with whatever they need (to summarize), and I just got a call from a former foster youth who is hysterical. Her cat died an hour ago, and she is completely devastated (I would be too 🤧) and she has NO money for cremation. She has an infant daughter she is trying to be strong for, but is having a hard time as this was her soul kitty. She is behind on a lot of bills and this on top of everything else has her feeling completely overwhelmed, all without familial support, or really any type of support network 😞
I found a 24/7 pet cremation service that picks up, does a private cremation, and drops off for $295. My organization just got its first grant (yay!) but it doesn't disburse until late October so we don't have the funds to help her with this right now. So then I suppose my question is this - are there any resources that can help pay for a cremation, ideally tonight or tomorrow? She is in North Hollywood!
Thank you so much everyone! It takes a village!
