"Compassionate Care for You and Your Pet"


Bryce Wilhelm Memorial
Animal Benevolent Fund

Bryce WilhelmBryce had an unsurpassed true love of animals, especially pets. It saddened Bryce to hear "sad stories" of pets in emergency and unfortunate situations who did not receive proper veterinary care due to lack of fianances.
The Bryce Wilhelm Memorial Animal Benevolent Fund was established to address these situations and to honor Bryce and his sincere love for animals, a love he inherited from his mother, Michelle.
With this fund there will be select financial assistance available to help family pets receive emergency medical care which the owners may not otherwise be able to afford.
Funds will be selectively disbursed by Michelle. It is the family's hope that this fund will turn those sad stories into "happy" ones.
If you would like to donate to this fund, please make checks payable to:

Bryce Wilhelm Memorial Animal Benevolent Fund
c/o Michelle Crist
Donegal Animal Hospital
366 South Market Avenue
Mount Joy, PA 17552

It is the family's hope to be able to continue to help those in need in memory of Bryce, who would be very honored to provide this support for pets in need.
Updates:
This fund has been used several times, to name a few:

  • A Dog with a severe injury and his owner just lost his job.
  • A dog with an abscessed tooth that the owner couldn't afford to treat.
  • An elderly couple with a cat who needed an expensive treatment for the sudden onset of an illness
  • Medications and food for 2 dogs whose owners lost everything in a house fire

These patients are doing well partly because of the help provided by the fund but mostly because of their loving owners who took care of them so dearly.
