Donations...

We depend on the generosity of the community. Thank you for your support.

 

Mary Blinn donated $1000 in memory of her late husband. She had this to say about him. “My husbands name - Prosper John Blinn Jr - better known as PJ, was a great husband, good Dad and lover of animals, especially dogs.  He was so proud of Sue when she went into the puppy raising program for service dogs and I know he would be even more proud of what she has and is going to accomplish in this new venture, as I am proud of her too !! “ “Sue” is Susan Bolton, Vice Chairman and Director of Training for Heroes. It has been decided that the first male pup in training will be named PJ, in honor of Susan's dad.

Susan and John Bolton donated a copy machine to Heroes. This will be put to great use. Thank you!

Florida Society of Registered Nurses donated $115.00 to Heroes at a recent speaking engagement. Mrs. Meiko Mills donated $100.00 during the same meeting. We would like to thank them for their donations and their support.
