My friend Melissa – ‘The Smile Fund.’ Please kindly read this post #fundraising

I would be really grateful if you would keep an eye out for my next blog post – as, later I am bringing you my little fundraiser for this festive season and I only really have my blog as a platform due to time and balance in the real world. I have a little friend in the UK named Melissa who suffers with Angelman Syndrome and I have just finished making a hamper to raise a few pennies for the cause that I believe is very important for all who suffer with this. I want to thank Melissa’s mummy Kathy and her family for being so committed to this. It really is beautiful to see a family coming together.

Although it is a UK raffle due to postage – anyone around the world can donate directly the GoFundMe Page for Melissa. I don’t want any more presents. I have enough and people have been very kind but I would love you to please make a donation to Melissa if you are by any means able? I won’t be long – just putting all the information together. So, if you are in the UK …  you can try to win the raffle prizes – or, outside the UK, you can learn more and make a donation by visiting the link below.

NEWSFLASH! Can you help the #dogbus plus you get a chance of winning a luxury hamper delivered to your door!

We are donating this beautiful handmade Gift Hamper to AniAid Rescue by The Fabulous Box, in support of the marvellous #dogbus Appeal. Made exclusively for #dogbus. Read on to see more about the prize and how to get involved!

 

Kristyn Adams the founder has given her life rescuing animals and due to down sizing has used her spare time to pioneer the #dogbus appeal nationwide. It’s a huge task doing something like this.

  1. She doesn’t get paid
  2. The project is entirely non-profit
  3. Every single penny goes towards a rescue van
  4. 100’s of dogs could be saved each week
  5. It will be available to all rescues 24/7
  6. Kris is trained and fully knowledgeable in rescuing animals
  7. A hands-on team 24/7
  8. Highly regarding in the animal circuit

Up and down the country when a dog is found abandoned or lost they are taken to a council pound. Many who abandon pets, believe the dogs will find their way to a rescue and find a new home. It is NOT the case. Most rescues have waiting lists.

The RSPCA have a kill policy where if an animal shows signs of fear i.e. a growl or an act of anxiousness that may appear they are being defensive, in most cases, the dog will be put straight to sleep. While the smaller rescues tend not to have this policy in place – instead working with each pet to restore their trust. So, until they have a space dogs are stuck in pounds.

A dog is kept in a pound for 7 days and if no-one claims the animal it is killed. Hundreds of dogs go into landfill every week. Healthy pets that could be re-homed from these pounds that are hell holes for pets. TBH©

The #dogbus would give animal rescues the opportunity to have a van that could collect several dogs from pounds at one time. The dogs could go into foster or be a lucky pet that finds an available space at a rescue.

The #DOGBUS Hamper is filled with goodies!!

What happens then is Kris will write your details on the back of each raffle ticket you buy and put it in her magical jar. So if you spend £5 you will get 5 x raffle tickets, and so on.

When the raffle closes (dates can be found via Kris using links above) her next-door neighbour who does not know anyone on Twitter will close her eyes and draw out the winning number! It really is that simple so please have a go. Every penny takes #dogbus a step further to saving lives. Kris has done so well. She is already half way there. What really moves me is her gorgeous little boy Alan the Jug came from a pound himself. He is a darling and brings joy to so many. So let’s help Alan get his friends out of hell and into loving arms fast!
