Yvonne Cody, founder of the Gold Coast Pets for Therapy Program, is a valued and long-term supporter and fundraiser of Guide Dogs Queensland. The Association receives less than seven per cent in government funding, for some specific Rehabilitation Services, and none for our Guide Dogs. Thanks to the volunteer and fundraising efforts of people such as Ms Cody, as well as our Puppy Sponsors, Bequests Donors and Commercial Activities we can continue to provide our life-changing Guide Dog and Rehabilitation Services.

article from Dec.2001 "Gold Coast Sun"

Gifts going out from the heart

Yvonne Cody calls them 'gifts from the heart'.

They're 500 beautifully decorated little Christmas present and bon bons Yvonne and the other volunteers with the Gold Coast's "Pets for Therapy" program will deliver to local nursing homes residents over the next few weeks.

But the generous gesture nearly didn't happen this year because PFT a totally voluntary program, had grown to such a degree that the self-funded organisation could not see how everyone at the homes could get a present this year.

However there's a saying that 'what goes around comes around' and the group that brings joy to so many has now been given a helping hand.

It was a chance question in Southport's overell Park that lead to that help arriving.

Yvonne, who founded Pets for Therapy 12 years ago was exercising her poodle Jo Jo and taking the chance to pick up gum nuts and banksia pods to decorate the Christmas parcels, when fellow dog owner, Ingrid Neugebauer, asked her what she was doing.

"She offered to help and with a couple of other women approached a number of local traders who all responded with warm and spontaneous generosity giving small items such as soaps, handcream and hankies, paper and decorations for the little gifts, "said Yvonne.

She said this assistance meant that the people for whom the Pets For Therapy program had become such a joy would get a Christmas gift this year.

"It is so important because for some of them it will be the only gift they get," said Yvonne.

 

She thanked contributors including;

Kevin's Florist, Broadbeach,

Karen's Candid

Copy Print Design,

Damien at Crazy Clarks, Southport,

Steve at Ashmore Plaza Discounts,

Anthea at Ashmore Produce Markets,

Therese at Brumbies, Ashmore Plaza,

Carol and Tony of Southport Home Bakery,

Christopher Dean at the Thursday Plantation,

Grace Cosmetics,

Helen at Amcal Chemists, Southport Park,

Mick at Ashmore Plaza Newsagency,

Matthew and David at Southport Park Woollies,

Value Hairdressers,

Spotlight at Southport

and the Pet Cafe, Bundall.
