This past week, our vet, Dr. Golden from Northern Lakes Equine, was called because our sweet Cece was having a choke and we could not clear. She has had a history of choking and consequently, she has developed scar tissue along her esophagus. Dr. Golden cleared the choke by tubing but felt she wanted to make sure of it clearing. She put a scope down and went all of the way to her stomach. This confirmed that the choke was cleared because the scope would not have gone all of the way to the stomach. The bad news is that we discovered stomach ulcers. Cece’s necessary medication for the ulcers will cost $300 a month. Casey’s would greatly appreciate any financial help. A donation can be one time only or a monthly sponsorship of any amount. If you can help to defray the cost of Cece’s medication Thank you from Cece and Casey's staff and volunteers. Our sassy Cece has gone through so much over the years and she is a fighter, so we will fight with her to make her comfortable. Thank you from Cece, her equine friends, Casey's staff and volunteers.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and improve conditions. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our Grant and Generous donation for our new gator!
The Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley, formed in 1948, has a proud tradition of providing support to the citizens of the Greater Aurora Area, the TriCities and Kendall County. Funds are awarded in two major ways, scholarships for local students and grants for designated charitable categories.
In 2023, we were recognized for the work we do in the community and awarded a grant of $6500 toward the purchase of any needed equipment needed to manage Casey’s operations. The grant money has gone toward the purchase of a new gator - the workhorse at Casey's. Our secondhand gator gave out after 10 years and was irreparable. Our thanks go to the foundation for honoring us with the grant and providing a means to help make it possible. We had one year to use the grant money, but it only covered approximately half of the purchase price. Nancy McCormick, who we all know as a former Board Member and Volunteer Coordinator, came to our rescue and stepped up and donated the remaining amount to ensure the purchase was completed before the end of this year. We couldn’t have made it without Nancy!
