Pictured van recipient, Claire Pollard of Friends United with the Richmond Shelter and Rheda Brandt Brager, van donor.	Rheda Brandt Brager and Elaine Ackman donated this van in honor of their mother Fannie Grazeck Shapiro, who passed away 25 years ago and is lovingly remembered as a great animal rescuer in the Richmond community.	Paul Ackman, Fannie Grazeck Shapiro’s grandson, celebrates the van unveiling.

We Can With A Van was launched by Rational Animal to encourage donations of new or lightly used vans to animal rescue organizations to help fill the great need for transport of homeless animals. The more vans available to animal rescue organizations, the more public visibility homeless animals have to increase their chances of adoption.
