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.

Only 7 Days Left . . . .

We have only 7 days left to raise $210 on Fundable.com. If we don't reach the target pledge amount of $300, the pledges that have already been made will be void, and VEFM gets nothing. The $300 goal was for the amount needed for VEFM's 501(C)(3) application. Without 501(C)(3) status, we will not be able to obtain grants, corporate donations, or even Facebook donations. Please, please help us reach this goal. Tell all your friends. The minimum donation on Fundable is $10, but all it would take would be for every friend to give you $1 or $2 and we would be all set. Here is the web address for donations at Fundable.com:

Thank you so much for your support. Even if you cannot give anything monetarily, just your desire to see VEFM succeed is very much appreciated.
