Hi everyone, I am raising money in honour of my sweet little dog, and best friend, Pippa. Losing Pippa has been without a doubt the scariest, most painful, and traumatic experience of my life. She is truly the biggest part of me, and such a source of joy, kindness, fun, and love to me and so many others. Animals truly become family, which makes losing them so difficult. The only tiny sliver of peace I have is knowing that I was able to access every treatment option that was available to us by Pippa's care team at Canada West Veterinary Specialists. I cannot even imagine the added pain on top of an already heart-wrenching situation of not knowing if I could afford to get the care that Pippa needed. For this reason, I am raising money in Pippa's honour for The Jessie and Bandit Animal Care Fund. 100% of the donations received will be donated directly to the fund.

The Jessie + Bandit Animal Care Fund is a Registered Canadian Charity that works to provide financial support to owners of pets being treated at Canada West who cannot afford the treatments that their pets require. 100% of donated funds will be put towards deserving cases where animals would not otherwise receive advanced treatment. Canada West is a 24-hour animal hospital that is well known in the lower mainland that provides life-saving care to animals in BC, Alaska, and the Yukon. I am so grateful for the expertise and compassion that was displayed by the staff there.
