Dear Ellen,
Thank you for your application to the RedRover Relief program. We are very sorry to hear about Claire's condition. This is a sad situation and your dedication to her is very admirable.
We would like very much to be able to assist, but unfortunately, RedRover Relief is unable to assist at this time. The program has very limited funding and receives far more requests for assistance than there are funds available to help. Due to the large volume of applications, we must choose situations that best fit the program goals and guidelines - those where a small grant (typically $100-200) will close the gap in funding to allow immediate, emergency treatment to occur. We wish that we had an unlimited amount of funding, but we are funded only by donations and have not had enough money come in to be able to assist everyone. If you have questions about the RedRover Relief program's goals, please review the program guidelines. We're so sorry that RedRover Relief is unable to help.
For additional funding sources, you can start with our list of other organizations that have assistance programs:
http://www.uan.org/index.cfm?navId=163 *You are doing a great job fundraising! Please be sure to check the State Program links for additional resources*
You can also view fundraising advice and general resources here:

Here are some specific links to try to get the online community involved:

We also suggest contacting local animal shelters and rescue organizations as they may have leads to low-cost clinics or may be able to help raise funding. Petfinder.com has a comprehensive list of rescue organizations from all over the country. Visit http://www.petfinder.com and click on “Shelters” at the top of the page. For a directory of veterinary clinics, visit www.veterinarians.com.
You might consider talking with your veterinarian about wheelchairs as an interim solution. Here are some Web sites for inspiration and reference:

Thank you for caring so deeply about Claire, best wishes to you both.
Sincerely,
RedRover

Please note: On June 11, United Animal Nations changed its name to RedRover. The LifeLine Grant program is now called RedRover Relief. We still provide the same financial assistance grants and case management, just under a new name.
You can learn more about our name change, and our new vision to help more animals than ever before, at redrover.org.
