Review for The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation, San Jose, CA, USA
The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation provided essential information when I was diagnosed with Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy - a frightening diagnosis, to say the least. The educational pamphlets and videos that are made available, along with the extremely supportive email community and local group that is facilitated by a CDF member, helped allay my fears and helped me research and find a surgeon. I'm happy to support this organization.
Review for The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation, San Jose, CA, USA
I received a frightening diagnosis - Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy. Was told I'd need to have multiple surgeries, and would lose my eyesight if I didn't. I turned to the internet to research this condition, and discovered to my immense relief the Corneal Dystrophy Foundation. The many mentors and members were so very helpful, informative, and reassuring. I ordered the free literature, which provided me with questions to ask when I visited surgeons, and ultimately helped me make the decision to seek a second opinion. Without the CDF and Fuchs Friends, I wouldn't have had the vision-saving surgery that I needed - and would likely still be intimated by this diagnosis. I cannot support the CDF enough!
Review for Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary, German Valley, IL, USA
Critter Camp is unique in its role to provide sanctuary to those small animals who have been abandoned due to age, illness, or just because they are exotic. Beth and her family are selfless in their care and love for these animals. I have the utmost respect!
Review for Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary, German Valley, IL, USA
Beth has done an amazing job providing a happy, healthy shelter for exotics that would otherwise be abandoned or euthanized. Her love and support are endless. I visited and was truly impressed by the range of animals she is able to give sanctuary, so that they can live out their normal life span in a safe environment. She and her daughter came to the library where I work to talk about all the things you need to take into consideration when choosing (or NOT choosing) an exotic animal as a pet. They brought a range of critters along that the kids and parents could touch - a fabulous experience. Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary is a fantastic resource for Northern IL!

I'd love to see Critter Camp in it's own building, where people could visit more frequently, and more exotic animals could be rescued and housed.
