For close to a decade, Will Finch, the driving force behind Good Will Good Karma, a non-profit animal rescue, has been committed to helping animals and inspiring youth in the community to gain confidence and create their own paths.
Finch, whose organization is based in Mt. Pleasant in the County of Brant, discussed its origins.
It all started when I was seven-years-old. I got my first puppy ever, named Karma. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks after getting her, she passed away to the Parvovirus, a very deadly disease that’s common in puppies. Losing her broke my heart. But instead of birthday gifts for my eighth birthday, I wanted to do something good to support my community and to give back for my loss and my heartbreak…So, I raised $300 for a local dog rescue. I saw the impact it had [and] just wanted to keep going and wanting to keep expanding,” he said. “From there, we’ve raised close to a million dollars in donations and supplies for dogs and cats all across Canada. Over the years…the organization has evolved into not only saving animals…but also inspiring the youth throughout our community which is an important goal for us these days.”
