Help for a Friend

My friend is having a real hard year. Her cat, Albert died, her car is having major, mysterious problems, and her new cat, Noelle, likely needs to have a $1000+ surgery to fix a porlapsed anus. Details here:

Help or resources for my friend (she's in California) would be awesome.
