Dear John,

I wish I could say that COVID-19 was in the “rear view mirror” now. But the pandemic is still very real here. COVID-19 travel restrictions are impacting our work.

Even with these compromised working conditions, we treated thousands of animals this year. These animals make life possible for people here as they work the fields or carry goods such as huge sacks of grain filled to bursting, propane tanks, bolts of fabric, construction materials, and anything else you can imagine through the dusty, narrow streets of Fez, Morocco.

We’ve taken in donkeys, mules, and horses with everything from severe cases of malnourishment, to trauma left untreated — and huge tumors that would have been excised long before had the animals been in the U.S. All this while dealing with staff and interns who became sick with COVID, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection.

Yes, it’s been another challenging year — but you can help us end on a solid note. Thanks to a $50,000 Challenge Match, any gift you send today will be matched, dollar for dollar, and will DOUBLE in value — up to a total of $50,000!

Thank you for all you do for the animals. Will you help us one more time during this Urgent Year-End Appeal? Help stop the animals’ suffering now with a gift that goes twice as far!

With my deepest thanks,

Dr. Gigi Kay

Director
