Bloggin for Relief

Blogging for relief. If we all do a little something we could make the day a little better for someone.

I've registered my blog (you can as well, but you don't have to in order to donate) and I've chosen The Humane Society as my charity.

Why animals instead of the people who so desperately need help? Because the animals cannot speak for themselves so we must speak and help them. When you domesticate an animal you make a promise to take care of it. But some, for whatever reason, are or were not able to take care of their animals in the wake of this event. This is where the Humane Society can help.

From the Humane Society:

"Some people were forced to leave their pets behind. Others were never able to evacuate at all. Now, in Katrina’s aftermath, The HSUS's Disaster Animal Response Teams are primed to help the pets and other animals left behind in the region’s most devastated areas.

In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, The HSUS has begun a massive relief effort to rescue animals and assist their caregivers in the disaster areas. Our highly trained Disaster Animal Response Teams are in Mississippi and Texas coordinating a multi-state animal rescue and recovery effort. Our 38-foot Disaster Response Unit, and other rescue vehicles affiliated with our teams, are in Mississippi.

Your tax-deductible gift will be used exclusively for our disaster animal relief work."

I've made my $25.00 donation and I hope you will consider making a donation as well.

If you are unable to donate - which in these days and time it truly understandable. Please pray for or send good and healing thoughts to the victims. Everything small or large helps. Peace!!

what a good thing to donate too. So often animals are forgotten. I heard them say they are going to let the animals die because of disease and what nots, i really really hope not :( It breaks my heart.
Thanks for the information
