Pet Hospice Support Program Needs You!

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Danny Meek

 

I recently received a request from The Banfield Charitable Trust’s hospice support program, Pet Peace of Mind.

Part of the message follows:

 ..."One of the most difficult parts of dying involves saying goodbye to those you love most. Many hospice patients must part with their beloved pets at the time when they need them most because they have no one to help with pet care and expenses.  Some pets are left homeless when the patient dies.  Pet Peace of Mind provides non-profit hospices with resources and funding to help hospice patients care for their pets. Over the past eight months, more than 100 hospices nationwide have contacted us and are interested in starting the program for their patients.

We are competing for a $250,000 grant from Pepsi as part of the Pepsi Refresh Project. HELP HOSPICE PATIENTS KEEP THEIR PETS is our project name within the Pepsi competition. Winners are decided by an online voting process and your vote will help us secure a $250,000 grant.  Thousands of hospice patients and pets will benefit from this important program for this grant would provide funding for more than one-third of interested hospices in 2010..."

If you want to vote for this program, go here and follow the steps.

This is a good thing.
