maggie has been working hard along with kevin to create a new support system for saints. this will allow us to move forward into the future, eventually past me and ensure that homeless senior and special needs animals will continue to have a dedicated and secure safety net to protect them. they have named this program, "1000 SAINTS" and the purpose is to build a base of 1000 people who are dedicated to caring for senior and special needs animals and providing them with the care that not only do they deserve, but that they have earned by their life long service and their own dedication to man.
this program is different from our animal sponsorship program..this is not about one individual animal..this is about all of the senior and special needs animals who need help...this is about supporting and assisting saints as a whole to not only survive but to be able to grow.
maggie has asked that we help this program go viral...by sending it off to everyone we know and asking them to pass it on to people that they know. finding 1000 people to band together and commit to helping and supporting saints growth, is not going to be easy and we need your help.
have a look at the attached PDF and the website and think about the possibilities that realization of this dream can bring...not just a bigger and better sanctuary for senior and special needs animals but the ability to reach out into communities to affect positive change in so many more areas..like education, prevention, health care assistence, palliative care support too.
dreams are only dreams until we make them come alive.
thank you maggie and kevin for taking the lead in making a dream come true!
Saints always welcomes volunteers.
The basic premise of 1000 Saints is to put the sanctuary on a firm financial footing going into the future. Every penny of the money donated through www.1000saints.ca goes into the Saints main bank account.
We need to get passed the lack of money being an additional stressor on top of looking after animals who need medical, physical and emotional healing.
Not everyone is able to volunteer at the sanctuary because of geographical or other impediments but by the simple commitment of pledging $25 a month they become part of this amazing place.
