The Gabriella Debeniotis Memorial Fund

Compassionate, caring and kind, Gabriella Debeniotis possessed an innate ability to relate to all creatures.  When Gabby passed away on June 20, 2009, her parents wanted donations in her memory to go to a special place that she would have chosen – Friends of Homeless Animals – and that’s how ‘Gabby’s Fund’ began. Since its inception, the Fund has raised over $40,000 to support medical care for FOHA’s dogs and cats in need.
