Don't go yet, we could really use your support!
The Opal Fund is committed to making MRIs more accessible to the families of pets suffering from Neurological Disorders, by providing grants to cover the cost of these scans, leading to an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
The average cost of one MRI is $3,000. When we needed one for Opal, we were quoted $4600. Most insurance policies will not cover pre-existing conditions - and most Neurological Disorders are considered pre-existing. MRIs are life saving tools, but the cost of the scan is not realistic for many families - leaving them in limbo.
The cost of treatment is frequently less than the cost of the MRI, meaning if the Veterinarian has a clear diagnosis, affording treatment is a realistic option for many families. All too often, families are forced to pass on an MRI due to financial constraints.
Please reconsider your donation to The Opal Fund.
And as always, if you have any questions or concerns please contact us.
THE OPAL FUND IS A 501(C)(3), NON-PROFIT CHARITY ORGANIZATION.
WE RELY ON THE GENEROSITY AND LOVE OF OUR DONORS.
With gratitude,
John Caponetta
