Help Us Help Marsha Become a Nurse!

Please help us Help Marsha become a nurse!

Alison Animal Hospital became a member of this great community in 2014. Since then, we have remained open at least six days a week (even during the pandemic), supporting the community and the local rescue groups (Sean Casey Animal Rescue, Small World Cat Rescue & Good Home Pet Adoptions).

Although this is somewhat of an unusual request, we feel it’s both reasonable and wonderful.

Marsha Leandre has been working at the front desk at Alison for over six years. She is incredibly hard-working, has a positive attitude and is a real animal lover. It’s been her goal since I met her to work with children as a professional healthcare provider. She earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree (while working full-time at Alison) and was just accepted into Mercy College’s prestigious nursing program.

Alison Animal Hospital wants to help her realize this dream of becoming a nurse. She will continue to work at Alison simultaneously while at Mercy College (at their Bronx campus) during the program’s 18 months.

Even in such a stressful time, if you could find it in your heart to make a small donation to help with this tuition, Alison will match that donation. At the end of the day, it is the fact that we help each other that transforms our fine community into a great one. With our generous donors' help, we successfully matched the amount of money that got Marsha through her first semester at Mercy College with a high grade point average!

On a personal note, not only is Marsha such an integral part of what makes us an exceptional animal hospital, but she is just such a warm, sincere and intelligent person. There is not a doubt in my mind she will complete the program to become a genuinely caring pediatric nurse, which we all can be proud to have supported.

Thank you all so much.
