Im so sorry your in this situation. Call monday morning and try some different banks. $100 is a large minimum to open a basic account. I think washington mutual is lower if you have those. Also you can apply for credit for vet services at carecredit.com and they will just about approve anyone. I know alot of people that have used care credit and are happy with them and they usually give you a year interest free. Also I have a friend whose dog was very sick and she went to a craft store and bought organic paint and made these little paintings using muslin cloth wrapped around a solid backing then stapled tight. She painted them a solid color then took the dogs paw and made a single little dog footprint. She post these on craigslist, ebay, local grocery, vet clinic and anywhere they would let her put a flyer with the dogs story. The cost of the print was up to the buyer/donator. I thought this was so sweet and creative but I didnt think it would help her much. Wrong I was she raised $14,000 in 3 months. Its definatly not a fast solution for the money. But maybe you could get the credit and then try to recoup it later with something like this. Alot of people are willing to help (especially for you its such a sweet story) and getting a small painting or something is all some need to encourage a donation. For some people it shows your not just asking for a hand out. Good luck. Things will work out somehow. |
