GiveLove

Help us rescue horses and other animals from the evacuation zones.

GiveLove is a 501 c 3 and we're giving some fundraising support to help the evacuation teams. Julie Wood is leading the fundraiser and is part of the Equine Rescue community.  The funds  will get where they need to go.

Over 65,000 people have been forced to leave their homes and beloved animals.

The Santa Cruz County Equine Evacuation Unit and other good Samaritans with trailers have already evacuated over 500 horses, livestock and pets -- from alpacas to donkeys and goats. They evacuated my horse Dusty and so many others who were left behind alone in the fires.
 
These amazing teams are working with Cal Fire and an army of volunteers to coordinate rescues in closed areas and to feed and care for animals still trapped in these areas. These teams do this work on a voluntary basis with their own money, and many are already struggling due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

100% of these funds will directly support the on-going emergency efforts, as well as trainings to better coordinate response efforts and systems -- in Santa Cruz County and our surrounding areas. We're sheltering at the Santa Cruz Fairgrounds. 

 These teams are working around the clock to save these animals — putting their lives at risk.

They need your help now! Any small donation will help with fuel and food for animals.

My organization GiveLove is helping this fundraising effort by providing 501 c 3 tax deductions and accounting support.

Love, Alisa

THANK YOU!

GiveLove.org is raising money to help communities in Uganda, Kenya, and Indian Country in the USA become healthier and more resilient to climate change. Our Go-team and training rockstars are improving public health and protecting water resources from environmental pollution caused by poorly built (and overflowing) pit latrines. And, we're helping families who have never even owned a toilet before.

Can you imagine life without a toilet? It's hard to believe, but over 2.4 billion people lack basic sanitation in their homes and schools. And, over 90% of the world's fecal sludge ends up untreated in the environment. It's more than just gross... it's deadly, and one of the leading causes of water pollution worldwide.

By 2030, almost one-third of humanity will experience extreme water scarcity, so it's time for action!

Sanitation related diseases are the leading killer of children under five, and a major obstacle to improving Global Health outcomes. Water projects are sexy, but not many people really want to talk about toilets — or the massive amount of shit that's polluting the environment. But, we're working to change that with some serious potty talk to raise awareness about this hidden killer. 

GiveLove is working with amazing WASH partners and community-based organizations to bring safe sanitation and compost toilets to schools and high-need communities. We've been working hard to promote compost toilets since 2010...  in Haiti, Nicaragua, Colombia, Uganda, Kenya, and at Standing Rock — where we built compost  toilets for the water protectors— how cool is that! 

By teaching people practical skills, and how to manage their own sanitation needs, we're helping to  recycle 'wastes' into  organic compost that can revitalize depleted soils, and return carbon  back to the soil — where it belongs.

Making compost, carbon farming and protecting water resources are some of the best ways for communities to mitigate the impacts of water scarcity and climate change. 

Your donation will help teach thousands of school kids and community activists  how to build and manage compost toilets. We're working to create regional learning hubs to promote EcoSan solutions through peer-to-peer and community-based learning.  

Our work depends on your donations, and every donation adds up — even $5.00!

Your donation is tax deductible (EIN#27-3039187).
