ONE DOLLAR, ONE SHELTER, ONE MONTH!
http://shelters.animalhelp.com
The AnimalHelp Animal Shelter Campaign began this summer through the brilliance of a 9 year old girl named Danielle. She wanted to do something big, something that would truly help animals and the people that work so hard for them. With nothing more than a couple dollars in her pocket, she knew she could give one dollar to the local shelter, but in reality just one dollar would not make much difference to the animals in the shelter. So she decided that if lots of people each gave one dollar, this would indeed make a difference.
The One Dollar, One Shelter, One Month campaign was born. The concept is to feature a different animal shelter each month. We ask that people send in just one dollar directly to that shelter either by mail or paypal.
Starting with Danielle's local shelter, which she often volunteers at, the campaign began. Emails were sent out and many great people helped to spread the word. But, unfortunately, not enough people heard about the campaign. Only about $850 was raised for the first shelter. Danielle was not discouraged. That is $850 more than the shelter had originally, but not really enough for them to build more kennels so that dogs had more time to be adopted.
The second featured shelter began in September. So far, around $1100 has been raised this time which is really great. This entire amount came from 60 donators, so obviously, many gave way more then they needed to. We still need to reach more people though.
Our goal is to reach 100,000 people who can each give $1 a month to a different animal shelter. There are 295 million people in the USA, reaching 100,000 is not too much to ask, its really just a drop in the bucket. Raising $100,000 in one month for one shelter would mean a huge difference to that shelter. Just think of what great things can be done with that money! Their facility can be expanded, they can provide medical care for the animals, they can begin much needed community education, subsidize spay/neuters for low income pet owners, etc. and all of it amounts to lowering kill rates and better circumstances all around for animals that are lost, neglected and forgotten. This is what we can all do together with just a dollar and a life saving chain letter.
Will you help?
