In Memory of
Evris Tsakirides,
Co-Founder of VFTA
To donate to the EVRIS TSAKIRIDES MEMORIAL H.A.R.P. (Human-Animal Relationship Project) FUND to continue Evris' work of teaching compassion for all life:
Evris' enduring legacy is the Human-Animal Relationship Project, an elective course in humane education that he taught at Crossroads to an overflowing classroom of enthusiastic students every semester. He introduced students to topics such as animal rescue, animal research, zoos, wild animal rehabilitation, and being a caring consumer.
His students created a Facebook page in his honor. Below are a few of their comments:
"After being in Evris' class and a member of the HARP club 7 years ago, he instilled in me a never-ending love and compassion for animals. I have been volunteering since high school at the Santa Monica Animal Shelter when I go back home and now volunteer weekly at the Honolulu Zoo to care for the animals. In January, I even took in two homeless kittens right off of the street who are still happily living with me. Evris is the inspiration behind my future career in animal welfare and has forever impacted my life in the short time that I spent with him."
—Rachel
"Evris was my first Latin teacher in 7th grade. He was also one of the first animal rights activists I ever knew (and I thought he was crazy because of it at the time). Nine years later, I still study ancient languages, and I've been a vegan for almost four years now."
—Mallory
"If it had never been for Evris, I would have never become involved with animal rights. He was a huge impact on my life."
—Briana
WE WILL MISS YOU!

of VFTA Founder/ Executive Director Melya Kaplan speaking on MSNBC about the Foreclosure Crisis.
With the housing market hitting all time lows, and the rate of foreclosures rising steadily, many people are finding themselves without homes and without the resources to find new places to live. Local animal shelters are seeing tremendous increases of owner turn ins, as many families don’t have the resources to find new homes for themselves and their pets.
We know how difficult it is these days to find a home that will accept pets. To help with this solution, Voice For The Animals has provided a list of websites that find apartments that allow families with pets. Before relinquishing your pet or pets to the Animal Shelter, where most animals, if they are not adopted, will be euthanized, please consider these options listed below.
If you need further assistance, please call our hotline 310-392-5153 ext 1# or email us at info@vftafoundation.org.
We can help you during this difficult time.
