UPDATE: SUCCESS! Tortorellas & Suruluna Raise $2k+ For Spice

10425427_10155469242015160_8283325913356243730_n 11065882_775417825899802_3694221867507999343_n

The Tortorella Foundation pledged $1000 dollars in matching funds to Suruluna to pay for surgery on Spice’s leg, so this sweet young girl will be able to run and have a healthy and joyful life! Together, through the matching funds, Suruluna and the Tortorella Foundation has raised more than $2,000!

“It’s such a gift to a small rescue like ours,” said Anna Cilento with Suruluna.

Spice came to Suruluna as a stray when she was found eating garbage on the streets. When Spice was brought to Suruluna, she was limping. So they brought her to the vet where she was diagnosed with ACL (ligaments in the knee) damage. She is only 10 months old, and she is not able to walk on her leg anymore unless she has surgery before the situation gets worse and she damaged the other legs. While more than half of the surgery has been covered by donors and the foundation’s matching funds, Suruluna still needs help to cover her medical expenses. Please donate to help Spice by clicking here, she is a puppy and deserves to have a normal and happy life.
Spice would have been put down in a regular shelter because of her medical conditions, but Suruluna couldn’t say no to a 10-month-old puppy girl.
“… because of the generous support of the Tortorella foundation as soon as we raised the first $1000, the amount we received doubled!” Cilento said. “This is the kind of opportunity that makes it possible for us to keep helping dogs like Spice who need expensive medical care before they can be adopted. Without this kind of support we wouldn’t be able to do it!  Thank you!”

****UPDATE: Spice is doing great and she has been with her new foster family for over a month now and we just got the news that she will be adopted by them. They love her and she lives with 5 little chiwawas, loves her home and her mom.
Spice with her new family!

Spice with her new family!

OUR MISSION

The John and Christine Tortorella Family Foundation for Giving Back, was created to enable our family to reach out to more children in disadvantaged situations, to help others who work to improve the lives of these children and their families, and to help those who protect children, animals and our environment from harm.

We believe that reading and writing skills are the cornerstones to a good education, and that exposure to music and art encourages the creative process in children. Our own literacy program,
Enlighten Your World … READ! is our personal commitment to reach out and encourage the interest of children in reading, writing, music and art.

You are invited to browse our website to see some of the activities that we are involved in and to consider sponsorship of the program. All proifits of book sales go into the foundation literacy program for disadvantaged children.

We pledge to be forthright and involved with each entity we designate a recipient of any dollars we give through the foundation. Our family will often respond to time sensitive critical situations, with our personal support, because the need is immediate. There are often crisis situations, and immediately help may save a life of an animal. This can leave no time to properly put it through the processes of our foundation’s polices of discretion and discernment.

And thank you for giving back to those in need in your community.
