The Holiday Season is around the corner and a lot of Department Stores a hiring temps or seasonal. Your mom could also go to a Temp Agency and get a job right away. There are jobs available for pretty much everyone.
Good luck!

I'm very sorry about your Mom's health and all the problems.
Perhaps you can contact your local animal shelter. Sometimes they have "Friends of So and So Animal Shelter"...in our area they raise money through flea markets and things like that - the money goes to sick or hurt animals at the shelter. But maybe if you prove all of your hardships, they can either help you or they can lead you to some organization that will help you. Have you explained the situation to the vet? I know they hear these stories all the time so they probably won't be able to help.
What is wrong with the dog?
Good luck...

I'm not trying to be mean but bring him to a NO-KILL animal shelter because you and your family seem like you can't afford the vet bills right now, i know for sure you and your family love him/her but it's in the dogs best interest. They will get him the medical care he needs.

In my community, there is a place where there is free vets and they will help anyone who brings in an animal, whether it's their own, or other animals.
You should search around and hopefully you'll find one.
I wish you the best of luck!

This website has organizations that help people afford to pay vet bills when their dogs need it to most:

Contact as many as you can and I wish the best for your family.
Also, it might be best to take him to a no-kill shelter so they can treat him immediately.

I would call animal shelters or other animal-saving organizations in your area. They might help or know who can help. Honestly, if you can't afford to care for the animal, perhaps the best thing is to have him put to sleep so he won't suffer unnecessarily.
