Locally made cards help raise funds for the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 11:50, 24th Mar, 2021 | 0

The GSPCA would like to say a huge thanks to volunteer Karen Brozka for making cards and selling them to raise funds for our animal welfare work and the many animals in our care during lockdown.

Karen said “Hope you are well and managing to get through this challenging time.”

“As Baxter (my goldie) and I have not been able to go out and rattle the tin for you lately, I decided to do a little fund raising.”

“Not much, £100, but hopefully this will help towards hedgehog meals or a few runs at food etc.”

During lockdown we have been touched by many amazing stories of those wanting to support the work of the GSPCA during these very difficult days.

Here is another we really want to share with you.

Vicky Nagy tells us all about her kind son Kobi -

‘My son is called Kobi Nagy hes 11 years old and attends Amherst Primary School.

His favourite animals are Sloths & he would love a golden retriever one day.

He chose the GSPCA as it's for the animals and wanted to help.

When he gets older he would like to work for British Airways as cabin crew.

In April 2014 Daz Carre will be running the Marathon Des Sables, a 155 mile run through the Sahara Desert which takes place in 100 degree temperatures. This is pretty extreme.

He'll be doing this for the Specsavers Children's Charity and the GSPCA and The Tav has decided to help him out in his fund raising efforts by throwing a party for him - after all, we might not see him again!
