Please help my sweet kitty Pepper receive life-saving surgery for his herniated diaphragm - in urgent need of funding

Hi everyone. This is my first time ever doing something like this - my partner and I just don’t know where else to turn.
Two months ago, my partner and I adopted the sweetest, silliest, best cats in the world. Around five days after adopting them, we noticed our girl, Pickle, struggling in the litter box - so we rushed her to the vet and ended up having to do a life saving cystotomy to remove a massive bladder stone. It was expensive but we made it work - we’d do anything for our cats.
Fast forward to a few days ago, where our boy Pepper had a very out of character coughing fit, followed by throwing up all of the food he ate. It came out of nowhere and was very alarming, so we immediately brought him to the vet. They ran x-rays expecting to find he had either asthma or allergies, however we were shocked and devastated by what came up. He has a congenital herniated diaphragm, meaning he was born with a hole in his diaphragm - where his liver has now protruded through and is placing pressure on his heart, causing it to be severely enlarged. This is fatal if left untreated, so we of course are moving forward with life-saving surgery.
This surgery is high risk and requires a specialist - so we unfortunately have been quoted anywhere between ~$7,700-$11,300 pending complications, aftercare, etc. I’ve started a gofundme for Pepper - my partner and I humbly ask for help contributing to Pepper’s life saving surgery to reach the $11,300 amount, if you are able. We’d do anything for our sweet, silly boy, and just want to help him the best we can.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much.
