It is with so much pride at being a member of this wonderful community that I announce the total so far for the ADV donation drive through the FML Card Exchange. Cards have been coming in since last Friday and the 4 day total stands at $325.00! This not only amazes me, but it also pleases me to see that many people are finally believing ADV is no longer just a threat. It is real and it is killing our ferrets. I want to take a minute to thank the special people who are contributing! I have received several very large donations from people who are blessed with a kind and generous heart and I have had several donations from people who I know can ill-afford to be donating to anything right now....and yet they gave! There have been one's, five's, ten's and twenties, and each and every penny of this has come from someones heart! A heart that loves ferrets! I know there are still many in the community that do not take ADV seriously. They are believing old and outdated information and unfortunately, I feel more ferrets are going to have to die before these people believe. But to see the kind of support this ADV Fundraising drive is getting, I know that more and more people do see what this disease will do to our ferrets if we don't find a way to stop it! So, to everyone who has donated, and to those planning to donate, my ferrets thank you! But more importantly, your own ferrets thank you!! You are, indeed, a very special group of individuals and I hope when you look in the mirror today, you will be able to smile and know you have done a good thing!! THANK YOU!!
