Keri was born in Thunder Bay and through her short life of 42 years was forever salvaging injured and stray animals and birds of every description and either finding them homes, or returning them to the wild from which they came. Her love of animals has been an inspiration to everyone that knew her.

The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial assistance to qualified donees providing care and shelter to stray, lost and injured domestic animals, birds and wildlife.
