Tiborczszeghi, a fifth grade-student at Sugar Hill Elementary, raised $425 to purchase and donate pet oxygen mask kits to fire stations in the Sugar Hill, Buford and Suwanee areas. “I hope my efforts will highlight the importance of having the appropriate equipment to save our be loved pets in case of a fire,” she said. Tiborczszeghi, along with her family, visited Fire Station 24 across from the Mall of Georgia to present the mask kits to firefight ers earlier this month. The kits were purchased from Wag'N 02 Fur Life, an or ganization which aims to place kits in every fire and emergency services depart ment in the United States. Each kit features three mask sizes with tubing to provide supplemental ox ygen during respiratory compromise. In order to raise enough money to purchase the kits, Tiborczszeghi sold home made “Get Well” cards for people and pets, provid ed babysitting service and sold toys. In addition to raising money for the mask kits, Tiborczszeghi volunteered at the Suwanee Animal Hospital, where she com pleted 32-hours of commu nity service under the guid ance of Dr. Joe Fitzgerald. Sophia's mom. AnaMaria Tiborczszeghi, worked in the background to coor dinate with Suwanee Ani mal Hospital and Gwinnett County Fire and Emer gency Services to see her daughter's community ser vice project to completion. According to Assistant Chief Clent Hughes, the mask kits presented by So phia will be placed on the fire trucks and readied for deployment when needed. “It’s clear that Sophia has a tremendous love for animals and genuine de sire to help the communi ty,” Hughes said. “We are proud of Sophia and all the work that went in to com pleting her project.” In Memory Dec. 27,1932-May 7,1954 Killed by a drunk driver HAZEL Full Service Jewelry Store Specializing in custom design and repairs Everything Up to 50% Off SOWS CUSTOM JEWELERS TTHfTTHPTlFT apply 6323 Grand Hickory Dr., Braselton, GA 470-436-1002 6X> Arrested ?
