We really hate to ask for it, but we need one more thing before we can do what needs to be done with VEFM. We need $300 to file for 501(C)(3) status. The Massachusetts Certificate of Solicitation allows us to do fund-raising and make requests for money, but we cannot apply for grants or accept donations on important web sites like Facebook until we have official recognition as a nonprofit organization under the laws for 501(C)(3) corporations. If any of you could manage to donate even a few dollars, we could get the $300 we need to send in our applications, which is complete except for the "User Fee" that it requires. To donate, please go to our web site and click on "Donations"--http://www.vefm.org/donations.html
We would really, really, REALLY appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Lucy Schroth DVM
President of Veterinary Emergency Funding Mission, Ltd.
OUR MISSION
1- ... that no pet owner be forced to choose inadequate treatment or euthanasia for their animal because of inability to pay for emergency medical care.
2- ... that people who receive financial help for a veterinary emergency be given the opportunity to return their gift by becoming mentors, by volunteering for VEFM, or by supporting the VEFM fund financially.
3- ... that it is the responsibility of both the local pet-owning and veterinary communities to make emergency care available--that this is not a national responsibility but a grass-roots responsibility.
4-... that the vision of VEFM will extend to communities all across the United States, possibly even the world.
