WHO WE ARE

I would sincerely thank you for your contribution to my medical expenses from my leopard attack on 26 August. I have been a PH in the Luangwa Valley of Zambia for six years and now as my sole income, my wife and I and our two small children sacrifice many months apart. My family and I are very grateful for your help in this scary situation. Although my career in hunting dangerous game is a risky one, a person tends to naively think this sort of incident will never happen to me. The news of the attack was a big fright to my family back home and although we are all so thankful that I came off lightly considering what could have happened or even have cost me my life, the emergency evacuation and hospital costs have put a burden on my family.

We can’t thank you enough for the support you have shown Garry Kelly Safaris, Musi and his family, The grant from the Frontline Foundation will go a long way to help Musi’s family and his four children. The support we have received from clients and organizations like yourself has been phenomenal and we are very grateful.

Good day just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you all very much for everything you have done for me and my family. I can’t tell you how blessed we are and how much we appreciate you all and the help we received. I am recovering well and at this stage we are hoping by the end of the month it will be good enough to travel. I look forward to seeing you all in Dallas. Thank you again.

We want to convey our sincere gratitude for the swift and professional manner the request was handled by the directors of the DSC Frontline Foundation as well as for the sizeable donation they made to a fellow hunter in need on a different continent.

I do not know how to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible support my kids and I are receiving from the Frontline Foundation. My children are doing so well. I am very proud of them for being brave and soldering on. Thanks to the financial assistance provided by the Foundation, their lives have been able to continue on as normal as possible. They have done so well I school, all got good reports saying that they are giving of their best and I just wanted to thank you for helping us keep going. You are truly a Foundation second to none, making a big difference at such difficult times I families, like ours, lives!
