The Bear Angel Fund is a heartfelt veterinary donation initiative established in honor of Dr. Mary Catherine DeRosa. This fund stands as a living tribute to Dr. DeRosa’s compassionate spirit and enduring dedication to the veterinary field, ensuring that her legacy continues to brighten the lives of both animals and the people who love them.
Though Dr. DeRosa was a physician devoted to human medicine, she believed in the interconnectedness of all living beings and she was passionate about advancing medical care not just for people, but for creatures great and small. Her vision transcended traditional boundaries, blending her expertise as an MD with a profound empathy for the well-being of every species.
Founded to provide critical support for veterinary care, the Bear Angel Fund’s mission is to help families facing unexpected or overwhelming medical expenses for their beloved pets. By offering financial assistance in times of urgent need, the fund seeks to remove barriers to essential treatments and life-saving procedures, offering hope, healing, and a second chance to animals in distress. Whether it is a routine surgery, emergency intervention, or ongoing care for chronic conditions, the Bear Angel Fund is there to bridge the gap when resources are scarce, but compassion is abundant.
Through donations, the Bear Angel Fund continues to transform hardship into hope, ensuring that financial hardship never stands in the way of life-saving veterinary care. It is a celebration of Dr. DeRosa’s life’s work—a beacon of light for pets and families when they need it most. Contributions to the Bear Angel Fund honor her memory by extending kindness and support far beyond the walls of the clinic, fostering a community united by empathy, generosity, and love for all creatures.
