Hear from our Donors
Bobbie and Loren Theodore
Bobbie Theodore, CWOB Board Member and Longtime Supporter: I found CWOB 20 years ago after returning from a tropical vacation where I saw starving, suffering dogs and vowed to model compassion for my children. CWOB’s mission, founders and results were a perfect fit, and I have been a donor and Board Member for years.
This organization has integrity and passion. I know from the “inside” that funds are used responsibly to maximize helping the most needy animals and their people.
My husband’s and my donations have included appreciated stock and cash. We created a Donor Advised Fund in a year that we needed the most tax relief, and we’re using that for upcoming annual gifts. We have also included CWOB in our trust to ensure their work will continue as part of our legacy. We can’t save them all, but we can support a group that saves so many.
Barbara and Nick Makris
Nick and I have been contributors to Compassion Without Borders for approximately 18 years. We had been donors for various rescue organizations but were looking for one with real passion and commitment to the animals in need. It was after meeting Christi and Moncho and learning of the efforts of CWOB that we decided this was the one we had been searching for. We have not been disappointed. From the sometimes harrowing efforts to save dogs and cats in Mexico and the Central Valley, to the dedicated staff and volunteers, this organization is where we feel our donations are most appreciated, needed and applied. We plan to keep on donating via our estate planning, knowing our contributions will always go to good use.
