Last weekend was the absolute worst —and because of Face, one of the best— weekends of my life. Face has seriously restored my faith in humanity! As a newer teacher in the area, I struggle to get by. So when my kittens (almost 1 and 3) got into some Lily petals, I was devastated to hear that they would need expensive treatment to ensure that they would be okay. I did not have the credit, was denied from Carecredit and Scratch and I was having to transition jobs. I could not pay for it, but my cats are everything to me. The Animal Emergency Hospital in Poway introduced me to Face and I applied over night…by 9am, the team was there to answer my calls, respond to my millions of emails, and PAID FOR THE TEST OF THEIR TREATMENT! I was in shock. I thought I was on my own with this, but I was not! This amazing team saved our lives. They did so well with me on the phone sobbing, supported me, and did everything they could to work with my vet and get my babies the treatment they needed. Here are some pictures of my babies after coming home, happy and healthy. Jamie and Finn will make it to their 1st and 3rd birthday, with many more to come, thanks to Face. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I am spreading awareness about the danger of lilies and the kindness of Face, as many people are looking for a charity to donate to. Thank you for everything you have done, Face, we are eternally grateful!

I am so grateful to Patty and the FACE Organization for helping my baby boy Doom with the cost of his subtotal colectomy (he had part of his colon removed) after a long few months of tests, xrays, and ultimately surgery. Patty responded within minutes of my application, and held my hand through getting all the necessary screenshots, statements, and documentation to be approved for assistance. I don't think I could have done this without them. My boys, Doom and Gloom, were so happy to see each other again after Doom's hospitalization. He was treated by Dr Matthews at a Cat's View Veterinary hospital, an organization I highly recommend as well. Thank you, FACE!

I am so grateful for FACE Foundation. My Cane Corso pup had surgery on her eye that stemmed from a hereditary condition. Without treatment could have resulted in the loss of her eye. The FACE foundation was quick to respond to our application and made the whole process easier for us to get the care my girl needed. Miss Fiona and I thank you so much for the wonderful support and assistance you have provided us. ❤️

The FACE Foundation came through for us when we needed it the most. Our pup, Sumo, was facing an intestinal obstruction surgery + hospitalization that would be costing us thousands. After calling numerous vets, facing a potential transfer, and quickly running out of options, and we were encouraged to apply for a grant through FACE for a chance to save Sumo's life. FACE came through. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am - they saved my pup and have given him a chance. I've been hard pressed to find an organization I can truly stand behind - but this is it. I'll be paying it forward. Sumo thanks you, and so does our little family! It was refreshing to feel the sense of urgency the team had in getting our application reviewed as quick as possible as our little guy was in need of immediate medical intervention. Huge thanks to FACE team!

Dearest FACE Foundation lierally in the middle of weekend night, my dog needed emergency surgery which I had no money for- I was beyond distraught, shamed even... I never believed contacting some organization via email at 10PM on a Saturday would be of any use, by morning, there was an email informing me that the grant was approved . My Girl Mavis is home, recovering, Im still crying with joy and really disbelief... warms my heart !!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

I just want to share my story, My pupper was feeling very ill over the weekend, she started to bleed a lot and would not eat or drink. As soon I could I took her to our vet after coming up with the diagnosis of pyometra (life threatening) I knew I had to come up with the emergency surgery money or let her pass. I was at a lost for hope, I reached out to Face as I searched for any help. Within 20 minutes if not less I was called by a wonderful lady named Shelby. I couldn't believe it! she gave me all the info and made sure all paper work needed was being updated. By 5 the afternoon everything was just about taken care of even a little after hours I was being helped by Danai. At this point i couldn't imagine this to be real? Is someone really going to help me to save my service animal? my friend? Well I'm writing this review with my pupper and I couldn't feel more appreciation and happiness. Thank you guys at the Face foundation. My fur baby get's to live another day. Thank you so much!
