Dear John,

In Fez, survival rides on the backs of working animals.

In this ancient and unforgiving land, this has always been true. But it may never be more true than right now. COVID-19 stormed into our lives more than two years ago, and nothing has been the same since. The pandemic still impacts our work every day.

If you’ve been looking for the best time to help, I assure you, it is now. Your most generous 2022 Fondouk Membership gift could not come at a more critical time. The economic health of this entire region is tied to the health of its working animals.

My urgent plea for your help is based on demand for our free veterinary care. This year, we will treat more than 12,000 horses, mules, and donkeys. In turn, they’ll provide the sole income for approximately 50,000 people.

So please, with all of my heart, I ask you to show your passion for animal welfare. I promise you that your gift will improve — and save — real lives.

With my deepest thanks,

Bob Coleman

President, Board of Directors

P.S. Fondouk membership means survival. With a line for care every morning, lives hang in the balance. To turn one away is unthinkable. Please be generous.
