Joanne established the fund 7 years ago in honor of Meisha, her beloved mixed-breed who fought immune-mediated hemolytic anemia/autoimmune hemolytic anemia (IMHA/AIHA) for nearly 10 years. To date, the Meisha’s Hope Fund has raised $230K! Currently, the Meisha’s Hope Fund is sponsoring two veterinary student scholars who are studying this deadly disease. We appreciate the partnership of the Meisha’s Hope Fund over the past 7 years and are so grateful for their efforts to spread the word about AIHA/IMHA and MAF.
