Jax

“It’s such a terrible feeling to know that your pet is going to die because you can’t come up with the cash to cover their medical needs.  I was so stressed as I scrambled to find any way to come up with the money and it was difficult telling my kids that I didn’t think Jax was going to survive because I couldn’t afford it.” At FACE, we don’t want anyone to have to feel this way about a beloved family pet. Luckily, Jax’s story did not end here…

Jax’s family lives paycheck to paycheck, with little money put aside for emergencies. They love their cat dearly and when he got a blockage preventing him from urinating, they did everything they could to find the funds to help him. After spending all their resources, they were heartbroken upon realizing they couldn’t afford the surgery to save Jax’s life. That’s when our friends at Emergency & Specialty Center in South County referred them to FACE. Jax was approved for our Save-a-Life Program and was able to get the care he needed. “I’m not normally an emotional person but I have to confess when the FACE Staff called me and told me that the organization was going to step in to help save Jax, I was so relieved and so touched by the generosity that I may have teared up a bit.  My family and I are so grateful to your organization and your donors.” –Jax’s dad
