Volunteer opportunity for financial aid committee work

Sunday, March 16, 2008

Since 1998 IMOM has been making a difference in the lives of companion animals and their families. We are very proud of our achievements. If we are to continue, we need help. It's time to secure the future of IMOM. That can only be accomplished with a new group of dedicated volunteers.

I wish I could put into words what it's like to be BTS (behind the scenes) at IMOM. I feel like it's important not to sugarcoat things just to get volunteers. I want to give a glimpse at the emotional highs and lows.

The low points for an IMOMer are extreme. When the PIN dies we grieve. We can't hold on to our grief though. There are always others who need us. Always.

There are incredible highs. When you have a LTE (life threatening emergency) time is your enemy. You go on adrenaline and instinct. You do your very best to help the PIN. Everything falls into place and you have a happy ending. Can you even imagine the joy of that?

Many companion animals die or suffer in pain every day because their caretakers cannot afford the costs of non-routine veterinary care. As a volunteer for IMOM you can be help in saving the lives of many of these animals. I can't even begin to tell you what a wonderful feeling that is.

It takes a very special individual to work in the trenches at IMOM. Maybe you are one of those individuals.

The single most important quality we look for in volunteers is a genuine desire to help sick, injured and abused companion animals. As a trained volunteer you will be given the opportunity to satisfy that desire. You will be making a difference.

For the right person, volunteering for IMOM might well be one of the most rewarding jobs you will ever have.

For the animals,

Jacki Hadra - IMOM Founder

I Hope That I Can Help Later On, As I Owe Money In Taxes And The Heating Bills Are Growing Monthly.
I Will Do What I Can.

Gary ~ I just want to be clear.... My post is not to raise funds for them. They are looking for people to volunteer their time. They will train interested people in their rules and procedures so that the volunteer can work with people applying for fundraising.
