SAFE is thrilled to announce that we have reached our goal in the Lucky’s Charm fundraiser. A generous donor who would prefer to remain anonymous has stepped up and pitched $1,500 into the pot!

This brings our grand total up to an incredible $2,774!

If we do the math, that means you have donated a total of $555 for relief efforts in Japan. Add in SAFE’s matching funds, and together we have raised $1,110 for WorldVets.org. Amazing!

It also means that we have $2,219 to put towards Lucky’s surgery. We would like to use the additional money raised to pay to have an equine ophthalmologist examine and treat the cloudiness that we’ve observed in Lucky’s eye. We’ve been quoted $500 for this additional service, and so with a little left over for unexpected expenses, we have raised enough money to take care off everything Lucky needs for a sound and healthy future!

Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Lucky has an appointment at Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital on April 19 for his surgery. He will be attended by the great Dr Jim Bryant, meaning that he will be in the very best hands. He’ll arrive at the hospital the day before his surgery and hopefully return home the day after.

It gives me even greater pleasure to share with you the names of everyone who gave to the Lucky’s Charm fund. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful, generous supporters. Every one of you played a vital part in making this happen for Lucky, and for animals in Japan.
