Jeff Blount Memorial Fund at Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary

Jeff, my cousin, sadly passed away in 2018, the result of a motorcycle accident. Jeff was a kind and gentle soul and most importantly, non-judgmental towards others. He truly respected all life, both human and animal, no matter their background or abilities. He so loved helping the challenged, be it physical or mental, those so often overlooked in a community. He had a gift for looking past the superficial into the true essence of a soul.
Despite limited resources, Jeff happily gave food, money, free vehicle repair, love, kindness and care to those less fortunate. Jeff is remembered by his friends and co-workers as kind, witty, having a wonderful sense of humor, being a talented mechanic who could repair anything, and a creative song writer.

The Jeff Blount Memorial Fund has been established at Rikki’s Refuge by the Blount family to keep Jeff’s spirit of helping others alive. This fund allowed Rikki’s to create Kamp Kindness last summer, with special events, camp, field trips, classroom and group visits, bringing people and animals together for their mutual benefit. These programs, which will continue year round, are tailored for children and adults of all ages and abilities, designed to meet their needs and challenges, as they learn about animals, kindness, and compassion for all. I think Jeff would love Kamp Kindness. For more information about Kamp Kindness, email us at KampKindness@RikkisRefuge.org You can support Kamp Kindness at Rikki’s with a donation (www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate) or by volunteering.  Learn more about my amazing cousin by visiting this link: http://RikkisRefuge.org/JeffBlountMemorial.html
