The story of Kristina Fisher of Madera and her horse, Paint, is featured in my Sunday column on Page J3 of today's Vision section. Kristina and Paint both have fought cancer together for about 16 years.
Paint's time, however, is coming to an end. Kristina, 17, has had Paint since she was 3, a gift from the Make a Wish Foundation. It is now her heart's desire to have him cremated, so she can keep his ashes with her always. The $3,000 cost is beyond the family budget so Kristina's trying to raise the money in time.
After the Vision section went to print on Friday morning, Kristina's family changed the location of the Kristina and Paint Forever Fund. It's now at Golden 1 Credit Union, 1934 Howard Road, Madera, 93638. Checks can be made out to Kristina Fisher.
