Subsequent to a suggestion made by Ricki, the majority of us have agreed to make e a change in how we would like to celebrate our accomplishments at Let's Learn.

As much as we enjoy celebrating by indulging in treats at class we think that it might be better (for our hips and society) if instead we do something for the less fortunate. We've come up with a way to do this that will benefit pets in need.

We suggest that instead of purchasing snacks or sweets for your classmates, you instead use that money to make a donation to the Farley Foundation, which is administerd through the OVMA (Ontario Veterinary Medical Assoc.) .

There will be a Farley donation box in the training hall and we encourage you to celebrate your accomplishment in this way, or by independently donating to the charity of you choice.

The Farley Foundation

It's every pet owner's worst nightmare. A beloved pet needs veterinary care, but the owner can't afford treatment. For many seniors and people with disabilities, this scenario is a sad reality. That's where the Farley Foundation steps in.

The Farley Foundation helps sick and injured pets that belong to low-income seniors and people with disabilities.

Upon approval of submitted applications, the Foundation offers financial assistance to help cover the cost of providing necessary veterinary care for pets belonging to seniors receiving the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or people with disabilities who receive the Ontario Disability Support Payment (ODSP), and who cannot otherwise afford treatment for their pets.

(More about the Farley Foundation can be found on the OVMA web site.)
