THE MOKI FUND
In the Fall of 1999 Mohnacky Animal Hospital was faced with a heart-wrenching case. The following story is the foundation of the Moki Fund. The parties involved will remain anonymous.
A dog was brought to our hospital with gunshot wounds to the head causing life threatening complications. Without surgery the dog could not survive. The owner of the dog was not financially able to pay for the surgery. So he asked his family to help him. A couple of days passed and not one family member was able to help donate money to save his beloved pet. Dr. Djordjevich (Chief Surgeon at Carlsbad) was emotionally torn knowing his expertise could save this pet from unnecessary euthanasia.
While out with a friend for lunch, Dr. Djordjevich explained the terrible situation before him. His emotional distress was so moving that his friend decided to donate five hundred dollars to this family. For their own reasons the family decided not to take the donation and opted to euthanize. Dr. Djordjevich's friend selflessly decided not to take the money back, but instead to generously donate to a future family in need. Along the way many others donated to the cause and at six hundred dollars the Moki Fund was created.
To date, we have had many people extend their support to the Moki Fund and help prevent unnecessary euthanization.Any donations would be greatly apreciated from all of Mohnacky Animal Hospital's staff!
