September 15 2008, Article # 12694
The Texas Veterinary Medical Association Foundation is asking for assistance buying fuel for generators for veterinary clinics hit by Hurricane Ike. Due to massive power outages that are expected to last through the week, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association is delivering generators to veterinarians in areas that were most affected.
Those wanting to assist in this effort can call the Texas Veterinary Medical Association Foundation at 512/452-4224.
People wishing to help are encouraged to be sure that any organization they donate money to is not just a political organization but one that uses donations to actually help save, treat, and house animals and those who take care of them during emergencies. The American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) offers grants to help fund disaster preparedness efforts, educating the public, providing disaster training, and reimbursing veterinarians for their out-of-pocket expenses on medical supplies, and also offering grants to help rebuild veterinary clinics destroyed in a disaster. Make donations to the Animal Disaster Relief and Response Fund by calling the AVMF at 800/248-2862, ext. 6689 or visit avmf.org.
