on Jan 22nd, 2010Animals need help, too
The situation in Haiti is still desperate — not only for the people but also the animals. Now anyone who knows me, knows what an animal lover I am, so I’m taking a page from Linda Simoni-Wastila and challenging all my friends, and their friends, to help out. For every comment left on this thread (Facebook or Blog) between now and Midnight EST Friday, January 29th, I’ll donate a buck.
Where’s the cash going? Best Friends Animal Society, one of the largest and best run sanctuaries in the US. Their help during Hurricane Katrina, both in saving animals and in reuniting pets and owners is truly amazing. They done this before – in Peru, in China, and other countries — and they know how to get it again. All they need it a little help from us. Already positioned to start as soon as the UN and military in Haiti allow them in, this fabulous group of committed health care workers is ready to provide health and medical care in the most desolate of places and tragic of circumstances.
So drop me a line…a comment…a word… won’t cost you a cent, and we’ll help the animals, too.

100 percent of your donation will go directly to help animals suffering in the aftermath of the earthquake. Best Friends is a part of the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH), and your support will provide food, water, rabies vaccinations, safety and more for countless animals.
Just imagine if your pet was in this situation.
Peace,

Go girl. Bootsie and Max agree – and they just had their breakfast. Great idea.
Hey Toni,
Hadn’t heard about this group before. Will definitely donate!
