Are there any vets around that work with families that are struggling to make ends meet and don't have the kind of money or programs/grants, anything really to help us get her the care she needs?

Try calling the RI SPCA in Providence. The Director is Dr. Finocchio, (sp?) a retired vet. He is very charitable, and should be able to refer you to someone. Also, call the Potter League for Animals in Middletown RI. The people there may be able to refer you. (I would speak with management, not the girl who answers the phone.) These are large facilities and they have vets on staff with big hearts.
Sorry for your problems with your precious pet, keep faith.
