In memory of Ned and Noreen O’Flaherty

July 8, 2025 by Katelyn

Our many thanks to Joan O’Flaherty for continuing all these years to chose to honor her parents and their legacy by sponsoring a day of sanctuary and making a lasting difference in the lives of our beloved sanctuary residents! We so appreciate you, Joan!:

“This was my parents’ anniversary and they loved animals. Thank-you for caring for the chimpanzees and cows and giving them a safe haven and life worth living.”

    I have been following and supporting CSNW for over ten years now (ish!) and I love it when I see recurring sponsorships pop up in the Blog. I don’t remember all of them, but many I do remember as they come up each year, and Ned and Noreen O’Flaherty is one I remember. So lovely of Joan to continue this sponsorship on her parents’ anniversary date each year in their memory.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Jennie’s comment. It is very touching to see this recurring sponsorship.

    Thank you, Joan O’Flaherty, for sponsoring this day each year as you remember your parents on their anniversary. So many years of doing so, you are clearly family to the sanctuary residents. 🙂
