Dear Friends and Family,
No words can adequately describe the loss we are all experiencing. We would like to turn that lack of words into meaningful action. Despite decades of struggle with numerous health challenges, Mary K. never stopped focusing on how she could help others. The goal of this fundraising campaign is to attempt to offset the thousands of hours of volunteer work that she had still planned to accomplish. Through our collective contributions, we have an opportunity to make a significant impact that she would be proud to have carry her name.
Throughout her career in education, she spent the majority of that time getting great books in the hands of young readers and sparking a lifetime love of reading in so many. The love of reading that she inspired ensured that so many would continue their education through reading long after their time in school had passed.
She was passionate about her career, though ultimately, she looked forward to retiring and dedicating herself full time to animal rescue. She accomplished this goal after retiring from education in 2018 and had begun her volunteer work. Our goal here is to make sure that continues.
I am asking for your help to raise a substantial fund in her name to be donated in its entirety to animal rescue. There are multiple organizations with which she had volunteered over the years. When this campaign is complete, we will allocate the funds to one or more of these organizations based on the greatest needs and support we can provide.
On a personal note, I hope this may also inspire us all to do more for others. While I could never fully count the reasons that I will miss her, her selfless, kind heart would surely top the list. She made me a better person. Please join me in doing what we can to honor the love and kindness that she so eagerly shared with all of us.
Love to you all,
Jason Donovan
