We are so grateful for your support! Help us reach our stretch goal

February 26, 2024

Thank you to everyone who has donated thus far! We are happy to announce that Restoring Vision in Dogs Blind with SARDS has reached our initial goal of $10,000 with 3 days still left of crowdfunding. This will allow us to begin this clinical trial this autumn once the preliminary studies and ethical approvals are complete. Due to the amount of support we have been receiving, we have raised our stretch goal to $15,000 which will allow us to enroll additional dogs in the trial.

Want to know more about the study? Check out our video discussing optogenetic therapyThanks to the 60 generous donors we are continuing towards our goal of $10,000! We have raised 72% towards our goal so far but we only have 8 days left! Every donation we get will allow us to enroll more dogs in the clinical trial. We want to cover all costs associated with the study for owners and at this time we only have enough funds to help a few dogs. We are trying to reach 80% by Friday! Any donation, no matter what size, will make a big difference. Spread the word by sharing the website on social media or by email. 

Our Canine Valentines

February 14, 2024
Happy Valentine's Day! We are so fortunate to have the unconditional love of our dogs - my dog Hamilton is always happy to see me even when I have a bad day. By now, we are halfway through the campaign and are at 68% of our $10,000 goal while raising the most funds to date of all the #crowdfunducdavis projects! We have an anonymous donor who will give $100 if we receive 10 donations on Valentine's Day (or the day after). Can you give $10 in honor of your pup? Please support us at https://crowdfund.ucdavisedu/covsl today! Let's help restore vision in dogs with SARDS!

We are so grateful for your support!
