Greg Louganis Positively Pet Fund
The Greg Louganis Positively Pet Fund forming in Charlotte, NC
Mission:
The mission of the Greg Louganis Pet Fund is to provide food for pets of those persons infected by HIV/AIDS and basic veterinary care when possible. The Fund is seeking to make sure that those individuals who are infected and have pets and a true compassion and care for their own health and the health of their pets never have to choose between a meal for themselves of their pets.
We understand that in many cases, those patients infected by HIV/AIDS have a bond and relationship with their pets. It is our belief that the companionship provided to these individuals through their pets is a vital part of their overall health and recovery.
Please visit the new Pet Fund website at www.louganispetfund.org and if you have the means to make a donation, they are truly appreciated.
