One Awesome Possum in need of help!

Reposting from 
uvanzee's journal:
(This will be the journal that I'll keep updating, sorry for the spam.)
Now I will go into more detail. What I can give, at least. The rescue wants to stay anonymous due to them (basically) finding out I was a furry(Thank you family :|). They'll let me rescue the opossum, but they frown on my ways(I don't even do much in the fandom). Slightly annoying, but this is saving a life, not caring about being judged. Maybe I could help give furs a good name to a few people.
One day, I was approached, and asked if I would help rescue wildlife. I said yes, but only one species.
Skunks are to destructive, my family hates racoons, etc etc
I said if a Virginia Opossum (sometimes known as the American Opossum) needed a permanent home, if it couldn't go back to the wild for various reasons, I would take it under my wing. They said they would get back to me. I thought they were kidding at first.
Knowing that I might be contacted, my family set up and got a license(permit) just in case.
A few months wait and I received an email. This opossum was a boy, a couple years old, and was hit by a car. Spine damage, etc. I wasn't able to get the money, so he was adopted by another.
Recently, couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by another rescue. A female opossum was in need of a home due to being to human friendly. She was raised since a baby, but her caretakers had her illegally and couldn't get a permit so the rescue took her in. So, I have been contacted by both parties, and they booth agree that my home should be the female opossum's home.
So, the point of all that was to say I still need to raise $70 to rescue her. My family will pay for the cost of living, but I have to pay for the cost of adoption and gas. If I don't get the money, they may just put her down, which she doesn't deserve.
Raised: $4/$70

Sharpe19: Go and help this adorable li'l marsupial out! She can't go back into the wild as she will most likely try to befriend someone else and have them not be so caring! She doesn't need very much, every bit helps!!

I will be grateful for anything that anybody can do to help. :)
And I'll have this up until I can make the $70 I need.
Thanks.
Wouldn't it be a bit easier to help the original family get a permit so they could have their pet legally?
I've never had the chance of working at a Wildlife Sanctuary, so I envy you.
When I worked for a wildlife care facility, I was told about other wildlife learning opportunities;
classes held typically once a month or so on a variety of wildlife subjects.
Some classes were obviously reoccurring as to the continuing education of newly integrated people.
As am employee I got a discount on these classes but volunteers could attend for full price.
They may or may not offer these type of classes depending on how big the wildlife rescue is.
