Harley’s Hope Foundation is Growing

I’m happy to announce that we are set to launch the Harley's Hope Foundation Southwest Office in Durango on April 23rd. This branch will handle cases in the Four Corners area of the state and will initially focus on emergency calls. Those of you who receive our monthly e-newsletter probably remember us talking about Ebby’s Fund, created by a donation from Karen McKibbin and Todd Walker (Ebby’s folks). Karen and Todd liked what they saw in HFF and expressed a need for similar services in their hometown, Durango. We asked them if they’d consider expanding HHF’s reach into the southwest part of Colorado and they agreed.

Karen, who will serve as Regional Director in a voluntary capacity, has done a great job pulling together all the elements necessary to start up operations. She'll be working closely with Stacee Santi, DVM, and the rest of the staff at Riverview Animal Hospital in Durango.

Having a branch office will not pull funding away from our Pikes Peak Region operation. Karen and her husband, Todd, and my husband, David, donated funds specifically for the start-up, and what Karen raises down south, she uses down south. What I raise in the Colorado Springs area stays here. Once Karen has gotten her feet wet with a few cases, you'll start seeing and reading about the pets and people being helped in this part of the state, via our e-newsletter, Facebook page, and on our website. Good luck, Karen and Dr. Santee!
