We are celebrating 10 years of sparklers with a series of
blog posts that tell the stories of inspiring women and how they make a
difference in the lives of others. We
are so excited to share these stories and we hope you will help us spread the word,
too!
Today, we would like to introduce you to Gretchen
Garceau-Kragh, Nancy Diehl and Marley Diehl, co- founders of The Cannoli Fund. The
Cannoli Fund provides assistance to the residents of the King William and
Lavaca neighborhoods of San Antonio, TX who wish to get their animals, or those
they are feeding, spayed or neutered.
The Cannoli Fund was named after Gretchen's spirited cat Cannoli, a feral rescue she took in when he was five weeks old. The organization has an active and growing fan base on Facebook and also writes a quarterly newsletter called "Cat Chat with Cannoli", which answers questions about caring for cats and dogs.
We think that Gretchen, Marley and Nancy are doing something
very special for their neighborhood. These
lovely ladies saw a need and filled it with information, resources, action and
enthusiasm. The best part of this story is
knowing they are raising awareness about trap, neuter and release (or TNR)
programs in other communities, too!

Three of the best women you could have chosen. Inspiring in their love and dedication to animals and their caregivers. I feel so privileged to know them.
