Lahiri said, “They were talking about a horse they had they were concerned about. She’s a little bit olderand she is not going to be able to do therapy forever. It’s time to start thinking about her retirement. Theyasked me if I would be able to take Lexi here at the sanctuary.”
But with sanctuary resources really tight, Lahiri and Marley’s Mission decided to fundraise together.
“We agreed to embark on this adventure together. When we visited Marley’s Mission and met Lexi, we sawseveral of the horses are quite a bit older and they will need retirement plans, too, so we decided first wewould start with Lexi and we’re going to have an ongoing retirement fund…”
A retirement party and fundraiser for Lexi will be held July 13, 5 to 9 p.m. at the Bog, 341 Adams Ave.,Scranton. The event is sponsored by Eden a Vegan Café, Scranton and Be Life Café and Marketplace,Clarks Summit and the cost to attend is $10 for an evening of beer, soft drinks, food and live music.Proceeds will benefit Lexi’s care.
Steve Kurilla organized the musical entertainment for the party. Musicians scheduled to play are ElohQuin,4:45 to 6 p.m.; Sarah Yzkanin, 6:15 to 6:45 p.m.; Michael Waskovich, 7 to 7:30 p.m. and Brandon Turner7:45 to 9 p.m.
