Let's Help the Person that Always Gives to Others

Who I Am & Why I've Created This GoFundMe Page:

My name is Cathy Ann Savino-Kedzierski, I'm good friends with Cathy Fleming and I'm also the Office Manager for Cady Falls German Shorthair Pointers. I come to all of you today with an appeal to help Cathy Fleming save her Home/Kennel. As you know, Cathy is a German Shorthair Breeder and Trainer, who is devoted to the betterment of the breed but more importantly, she's a woman that has never turned anyone down that has needed help and since she would never ask for help for herself, I'm here to do it for her!

A Little About Cathy's Dilemma:

Her problem is urgent because she is on the cusp of entering foreclosure on her home/kennel and even though she works 12-hour days as a mobile groomer and utilizes the money to try to catch up on her mortgage payments and household bills, she experiences setbacks from the bank that holds her mortgage as they continue to add interest and fees that have made it virtually impossible for her to catch up! She has offered the bank several ways to attempt to decrease her arrearage - she inquired about setting up a payment plan and if that wasn't possible, she asked if the late payments could be added to the back end of the loan. Unfortunately, the Mortgage Department Manager turned her down and in a voice that was void of any compassion, she began to berate Cathy while trying to shame her into paying even though she was aware that without some kind of plan in place, Cathy could not comply with the full payment demand. The truth is that Cathy's stress level is so high that she feels deeply depressed and frightened of what's to come. And, with every phone call to the bank, she says that she finally knows what it feels like to be bullied.

A Little Bit About Cathy:

I met Cathy in the year 2004 when I became the proud owner of a GSP instead of my usual Brittany breed. We became close friends and she ultimately took me "under her wing" to mentor me in AKC Hunt Test performance events. And she did so while selflessly giving me all her time and effort. However, no matter how hard I tried to offer to pay for her services, she refused to accept money from me and it then became clear that she did this with many people who needed her help whether it was with a dog training issue or if they needed to borrow money or anything else she could do even offering moral support if needed. But sadly, her generosity opened the door to a class of people that used her because her kindness and her belief that all people had good hearts made it difficult for her to see that some people didn't have good intentions. You would think that she would have stopped or at least slowed down in her efforts to help people but no, she forged ahead and provided training at low cost and sometimes even free to people with new pups and she helped others in many different ways. These examples will hopefully let you see into a window of Cathy's character and her sense of how important it always was and continues to be to give to anyone in need and pay it forward whenever she can.

My Closing Wish:

I ask that you consider giving something back to help our generous and deserving friend in her attempt to save her home/kennel and I promise you that every little bit will be greatly appreciated!
