In loving memory, and honor, of Ch. Shomberg's One Hot Number SH --
In an effort to help other GSP owners and the dogs we have created "Mya's Fund." This fund is designed to assist owners who cannot financially afford to provide treatment for their dogs due to limited income and resources. It will provide treatment for Shorthairs anywhere in the country regardless of the type of cancer diagnosed and is based on treatment protocol and financial need. As we all know, cancer treatment can be terribly expensive and totally out of reach for many owners who are forced to make an unbelievably hard choice to treat or lose their dog to the disease. It is a gut wrenching decision to make.
Mya's Fund is 100% tax deductible and all donations are dedicated to the fund without overhead and costs for administration. This is possible due to the generosity of Dr. Ann Jeglum, and her foundation, VCORF, which has taken Mya's Fund under their non-profit foundation. It will allow us to assist German Shorthairs anywhere in the country who have a need for treatment in an effort to survive cancer and continue to have quality of life when their owner could not otherwise afford it. This is the purpose and the goal of "Mya's Fund." For us, and so many others that we might help, this will mean that Mya's life and her legacy will always be relevant; that it will provide hope for other Shorthairs as well as a cause for celebrating their lives.
Please support Mya's Fund and help us to give other Shorthairs the same fighting chance that Mya was given. One day it might help you and your dog. Please consider a donation in memory of one you have lost or one that you may someday save. Your donation is tax deductible and greatly appreciated.
The Veterinary Comparative Oncology Research Foundation is the parent organization that is currently administering Mya's Fund and accepting donations the fund's behalf. In order to earmark donations through the VCORF to Mya's Fund, donors must take a couple of specific steps while using PayPal (the mechanism in place to handle payments) in order to make sure donated money gets into the appropriate fund.
