All of us at MPDC, along with Deb Kramer (and of course Huck, Birdie, Spanky & Little Bit) would like to thank everyone who has donated to the GoFundMe set up to help Deb and the pups!

Whether you donated, shared or offered words of comfort or support, it meant the world to Deb and those who love her. We can’t thank you enough for all of the support as Deb navigates this new chapter in her life.

If you haven’t yet donated but would like to help out and give Deb one less thing to worry about, there’s still time! No amount is too small. As with many things in life, it takes a village…and you’re helping show Deb how vast her village truly is. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! 💞🐾💞

Together with Deb’s friends, we have launched a fundraiser to support Deb after Jim’s passing. Jim was a kind soul who shared his talents and heart with so many, and now Deb needs our help as she navigates this difficult time and cares for their beloved dogs. If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing to help ease some of the financial burden and show Deb she’s not alone during this new chapter. ❤️
