I Just Saw Someone Say To An Individual With A Terminal Illness On Here, God Gave You A Brain Tumor Because

I just saw someone say to an individual with a terminal illness on here, “god gave you a brain tumor because you are a bigot”. I am a biologist who is starkly irreligious, and would like to point out, things like terminal illness and life-threatening disabilities happen primarily due to a variety of genetic factors, and have nothing to do with moral failing. Believing otherwise is a slippery slope into eugenics. I have survived cancer and it appalls me to see people behave this way.

help me give this old lady the care she needs?

a close up image of miss b, a white, brown and black senior tabby cat. she is sitting with her eyes closed in a neutral expression.

tl;dr: we need $270 by 9/10 and another $270 by 9/13 for miss b's follow up bloodwork following a stage 3 kidney disease diagnosis+another antibiotics course. more details+proof of testing cost will be under the cut, but i have my main three apps (leave a cat emoji in payment note!!) plus a new ko-fi goal for those who like the visual on progress, though i will update in this post's replies w progress. thanks so much in advance for the help.

Miss B's bloodwork came back showing signs of kidney disease and anemia (which is what indicates stage 3). given that as far as we can tell shes not having any other issues (her other things are all normal), having her on regular IV fluids and switching her over to a kidney health specialty diet will do a lot more to help maintain her comfort+condition over time, as kidney disease is incurable. she also was started on another 5 day course of antibiotics bc her white blood cell count is high. her urinalysis showed a pretty severe UTI, which is what caused the high WBC. after confirming this 9/6, our vet has recommended we bring her in for two sets of labs instead of just one (one done on 9/10, another after the antibiotics are finished on 9/13) to make sure that the antibiotics are actually working/incorporate additional treatment if not and then to see where shes at after all her treatments. this would double the amount we need to $540. below is a screenshot of the receipt from yesterday's visit for the bloodwork she had done, which is what she needs done next week. thanks so much!
