Eight-year-old from Merritt donates a truckload of goods to Kamloops SPCA
MERRITT, B.C. — An eight-year-old girl from Merritt made a significant donation to the Kamloops and District SPCA.
Vanessa van Rensburg says her daughter Kate worked for nearly a month to donate a truckload of items that the SPCA says was worth nearly $3,500. Kate’s inspiration comes from what van Rensburg describes as a lot of compassion for animals and people.
“We have three dogs, two cats and fish, and she would have a farm-full if she could,” van Rensburg told CFJC Today. “During the floods, there was a lot of help for people but maybe not so much for animals. We reached out to various [animal shelters], here as well as Princeton, but we got feedback from Kamloops.”
