Leaving a lasting legacy for animals in need

Sue Wosik’s love for animals and her passion for their welfare resonates through her generous legacy gift to the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. As a legacy donor, Sue has bequeathed two of her life insurance policies to the Ontario SPCA, a testament to her commitment to animal welfare. 

After retiring from a fulfilling career with the Department of National Defense, Sue took time to reflect on the kind of legacy she wanted to leave behind.  

“My financial advisor suggested considering a legacy and a few organizations,” Sue says. “Once I heard about the Ontario SPCA, I knew that’s exactly what I wanted—to support the care of animals.” 

Sue hopes her legacy will contribute to educating the public about treating animals better and ensuring they receive the care they deserve. 

“I’ve had cats all my life, and they have this special connection with me. I feel like a cat whisperer,” Sue says with fondness. “They’re kind and loving, and I truly cherish every single one of them.”  

As a loving mom to her furry companions — Tarzan, Jane, Spunky, Odie, and many others — Sue views her legacy gift as a heartfelt way to give back to the animals who have filled her life with joy. “It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that you’ll be remembered as the person you were in life.” 

Just like Sue, you can make a difference for animals beyond your own lifetime. By including the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society in your will, you can continue your advocacy for animals, providing them with care and shelter. 

Your generous gift will ensure that animals continue to find loving homes. You’ll be there to rescue them in times of need, and your legacy will serve as a life-changing gift.
