Fundraiser to Bring Veterinarian to South County
In our efforts to provide a veterinarian for the community of South Brewster, we have been presented with challenges and need some help getting Letty down to our community. Letty had the opportunity to meet with Doc Sam; it was a productive meeting. We need help with relocating Letty and getting her certified in Texas to be south county’s new vet. The funds raised will go for helping move her here from Illinois to be with her husband Jon Risley who has established living in our community already. We have the property in place just off 118. We have the support of Alpine Humane Society with mobile donation units. Due to the challenges we have all faced we are turning to our community for help and to reestablish a vet that fell in love with our community. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to reach out to Rique or Ashley or Jon Risley with any questions. Thank you for your support.
