We want to make an appeal to the animal rescue organizations in Israel. We need your help. A friend of ours, a cat lady in the north of Gaza with her 62 cats are in great need. The cats are malnourished and some with disabilities. We are trying to save these souls! We don't want a political debate and useless accusations against anyone, time is very short and precious for these souls We just want to help bring food to these animals, and only you have the best chance. We want to do this quickly, so if you can really help please message us with a contact number. Only serious organisations, and only for this mission. We speak Arabic , English and Italian . Thank you

The monthly donations are a precious certainty for our daily work, lately many have expired or cancelled, with Christmas approaching, a good action could be the subscription for a monthly donation for Ernestos. there are many of us and together we can do the difference. Here the link to donate and make a monthly donation from our website: ernestosanctuary.org/donatio…

I hope @doctormaxine will help get the #BikeBus bill #HB3014 up for a vote. It's so important to give school districts flexibility to use their transportation funding and give kids safe, healthy ways to get to school with the added benefit of shrinking the pickup line. #orleg

Bad news follows bad news - we are sad to find that our xray machine has stopped working – possibly because of the earthquake tremors – whatever has happened, repair is not looking possible and so we are opening a fundraiser to try and replace it. The one we have was second hand when we got it, and it is big and old and it takes up a lot of room and the xrays aren’t always as clear as we would like – so we are going to try and raise €16000 euros to replace it justgiving.com/crowdfunding/… Thank you for being with us and thank you for all the messages of concern and support we have been receiving since the earthquake. There is still so much to do in the coming days and your love, your donations, your prayers and good wishes are all necessary for us.

His human's shop had been closed with him inside for days,because his beloved human will never come back to open. sometimes we think that our heart is no longer able to digest all the pain we see, happy ending encourages us to move forward coz saving even 1innocent is a miracle.
