Compassion for Abused Animals!

Donation protected
Hi There!
Its been a year since I launched this campaign.  I decided to put it on hiatus to do more research & spend time with Rescues, fosters, Adoption agencies, pet sitters, Vets & hospitals to make certain this is my Calling...& NOW I'm READY to implement my journey, as I originally wrote...



I've been wanting to write this for '5' years - but felt my story wouldn't be read.  But the more I heard about horrific stories of dogs & animals being abused...I was compelled to write it finally & hope it will be read.

My Story:

I had a 12 pound tumor removed & died & was brought back to life with '6' units of blood, which is pretty much your Total blood composition which is 8 uts...& didn't have children.  Before that I had '5' hernias and 2 years ago had a hand injury from a slum-lord who wouldn't service an exposed electrical socket & when moving a microwave, fell onto my thumb.  It blew up like a mini-globe (around my finger) & when I went to the hospital a 3rd time - the Dr. said if I hadn't come in then, that my finger would have burst open, gone into my bloodstream to my heart & I would have been dead.  My 2nd brush with death!  Then I almost had '2' near fatal accidents with two different 4 X 4 vehicles.  After pulling over to compose myself after the 2nd incident, I realized I was put on this Earth for a reason.  And that purpose, is to open up an Animal Haven in the Poconos, to provide shelter, Caring, rehabilitating, Adoption & fostering for Abused, unwanted, even animals separated from their families & loved ones after Natural disasters (like hurricanes, tornadoes & fires) until they're reunited with their families.  Reasons why I share my near death experiences, is to say that "tomorrow is NOT Promised to Any of Us".  And I would like to start my Mission & complete my Purpose in life with You...& your much needed Help.



Their Story:  ~ My '4-legged' children ~

I tell people when they ask me my name…it's 'D' for Dogs because I have '3' that are my children.  If they smile, I say their names are 'Kibbles, Bits & Pieces’ & they're All Malteses!  & that's their Real names!  & if they laugh...I continue saying ~ I have an 8 1/2 pounder now 10 lbs named 'Bits', a 4 1/2 pounder named 'Pieces'....'Bits & Pieces' & they're both Malteses & we just added 'Kibbles' to the batch!  Then I add, she had 'one' puppy - '1' puppy ONLY thru C-section, & they're a Real family...husband, wife & son & they Know It!   (sounds better when I say it in person  :)

So, one day when I went to work & came back to find, we had a puff-back due to the landlord not servicing the furnace & my 'Gang'/KBP were exposed to smoke & sut for '10' hours & as a result, have lung problems for life.  So I had to find shelter for them & resorted to my father's 100 year old house that had mice.  We migrated to 'one' room for 3 yrs. & became bonded.  At that point, is when I started hearing horrific stories about Pit Bulls & other breeds & their abuse.

I NEED Your HELP

I've wanted to write my story on GoFundMe ever since I shared my story of opening up an Animal Haven with a woman on line at the DMV.  She told me about this fund-raiser, but I waited almost 5 yrs to write it because again, I feared my story wouldn't be read.  But the more I heard stories of Pits being tortured, I was compelled to write it.  In turn, I heard stories of:

-  a Pit being thrown from a 5th floor rooftop in Brooklyn NY
-  a puppy being kicked profusely in an elevator caught on surveillance camera in a housing complex, which caused me to call the detective on the case to find out why they took so long to report it on the News.  I was told this incident happened over a month before - to find out they just caught the culprit the next day...& he didn't even live in the complex!
-  another Pit Bull that was tossed out a window from a moving car
-  then another Pit's limb was severed off
-  then heard numerous stories of dogs & cats being housed for months in DEPLORABLE conditions, being starved & sleeping in their own urine & feces.

Then recently, I heard of:            

-  a dog chained to a tree in a park by a River & was found by a jogger who saw the dog the night before, left to die unattended.  She returned the next day to find the dog still there & she rescued him/her
-  then that same week - another dog was put in a cage, tied to a post in the water & when the tide would have risen, the dog would have 'drowned'
-  then, I heard of a Dachshund (frankfurter dog) who was severely beaten, abused & starved to 'skin & bones' by its owner in Bayshore, NY
-  then finally, I met 2 Chihuahuas that were related, tied to a pole abandoned...who knows what abuse they were subjected to?

This has to STOP!!!

I know I can't STOP Cruelty & harm to animals by Myself ~ but I can HELP some & let it be known that I have a shelter & protection for  '4-legged people' who are ABUSED & are in NEED of a home, food & care ~ LOVE!


Would You Help Me ~ HELP the HELPLESS?

I want to Open an Animal Haven in the Lake Wallenpaupack region of the Poconos (PA) & need funding, contributions or donations for caring, rehabilitating, food & housing for the animals & staff.  I thought I could generate funds of my own, but haven't been able to since acquiring certain ailments, which is why I shared 'my story' with You.  I have since acquired 4 out of 5 herniated disc's, but this won't STOP Me making me more determined to start my mission.  I have a staff willing & waiting to move & settle in with me in the Poconos.  I even have a 'cat' lady/woman waiting for '3+' years to work with me.  Rain or snow, freezing or hot - she's in her car every morning at 6 AM to go feed strays & unwanted cats.

I died once already & almost a 2nd & 3rd time & shared my story with you & my Purpose.  I procrastinated LONG  Enough.  Why the Poconos?...because of the vast land out there & ample amount of room for my '4-legged friends' to have the FREEDOM they never had or felt before, to breathe Fresh air & romp around like children at play, till they recuperate & find homes...& the cost of living is much more reasonable to afford their care.  But I just need some HELP...& would hopefully match the funds I raise.

~~~~~& for the Fortunate, Well-established & Financially stable folks out there....if you ever wanted to contribute to helping unfortunate animals/'4-legged people' & NEVER DID...I hope I enlightened you to a cause to Help them, because once we Go & leave the face of this Earth ~ We LEAVE with NOTHING.  So why not, pls. help the needs of those you might have wanted to Help, but never did.  Just a bit is better than Nothing & would Help my cause tremendously!~~~~ 

It took me almost '5' years to share my Mission with you.  I deeply appreciate & 'Thank You' so Very Much! for reading my story &  donating in confidence...& on behalf of 'Bits' who has passed away, since writing my story :(    (middle picture below & Kibbles I just lost bottom pic).

And the reason why I shared pictures of my '4-legged children’ is to show you even though we've been through challenges - if I can maintain their beauty going on 16 years old, just think of what I'd do with an Animal Haven? & how they will be treated like Humanoids & be Loved.


We will be caring & saving our '4-legged friends' from all localities & bringing them to 'Relief with Luv' in the Poconos!

**One last Note...Please don't be swayed or influenced by fraudulent stories in the public eye, to deter you from Helping our Abused 'four-legged' friends**

I wrote this campaign this time last year, and spoke of "tomorrow is not promised to any of Us".  In lieu of Today's current events with the Coronavirus - I couldn't have foreseen the actuality of my statement.  I understand Domestic Violence is up during this Pandemic...& can only imagine how its being taken out on our 'four-legged' community.  I ask that you HELP Me, Help the HELPLESS.       Thx Much!
                                      

                                                      COMPASSION
            Mercy, goodness, charity, compassion, Sympathy, Pity
Interest, sympathize....& I Hope you've experienced My PASSION!
