    Default The Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing's Fund, Inc.

    It is with great pride, and not a few tears, that Patti and I announce the Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing’s Fund, Inc. Even though we have had a semi-public presence since Nov. ’14, we wanted our first official announcement to be to you, our family at K9Cushing’s.

    Since late Oct. 2014, Patti and I have been watering the seed of a dream – a dream to aid families struggling to meet their cush baby’s needs. We both know first-hand how desperate that struggle can be at times, what it means to choose between eating meat this month or paying for our baby’s meds, between our own medications or an ACTH. And we wanted to help where and when we could.

    To this end, we have established the Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing’s Fund, Inc. We were incorporated in the state of Ohio, USA in Dec., 2014 and received notification of our 501(c)(3) tax exempt status from the IRS March 6, 2015, with the effective date of Jan. 1, 2015.

    Another cush mom, Vicki (beaglemom3), is using her incredible talents on our behalf and has developed our beautiful website which is nearing completion. When it is launched we will be ready to start taking applications – and again you will be the first to know and the first to see our dream in full bloom.

    Guidestar is a sort of clearing house for non-profits. They gather information from the non-profits and present reports based on that info to any who wish to know about that company. Guidestar receives reports and updates directly from the IRS to use in addition to the info provided by the companies themselves. Guidestar provides transparency for those interested in seeing what a non-profit company is doing.

    The Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing's Fund, Inc. is now listed with Guidestar. Because we are so very new, there is quite a bit of info requested we simply do not have yet to give - like IRS corporate tax returns to share. BUT as these things become valid, we WILL be updating our report on Guidestar.

    In the link below you can find our fund and keep up with much of the internal happenings. In the box on the page that opens type in our fund name, Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing's Fund, Inc., and it will take you to our report.

    I am very proud to announce the website for the Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing's Fund, Inc. is fully live as of this morning. We invite you to be the first check out the full website - you inspired this fund with your determination to go the extra mile for your babies, you gave us the courage and strength needed to help our own girls and to get this far with the fund, and we thank you more than words can say. I know Tipper and Squirt are proud of their moms and as excited as we are at this opportunity to help others in their names.

    So check us out! If you have a few dollars to spare, please donate; if you need assistance, we would be so very honored to help if possible.

    Thank you all so much!
    Patti and Leslie, blessed moms to Tipper and Squirt
