HFE bill needs to be paid to avoid shutting doors

Today we celebrate Marilyn's birthday.  Not only do we celebrate her birthday, but we also celebrate 18 years of being a non profit rescuing dogs.   Over those 18 years over 10,000 dogs got a second chance all because one day Marilyn decided she was going to dedicate her life to the ones with no voice. 

It certainly hasn't been easy over the years.   Many rescues have popped up over the years and have come and gone.  HFE has been a constant for 18 years even in the worst of times.   When you operate a non profit rescue, you rely on volunteers, foster homes and donations.    It takes a special kind of person to volunteer their time to help animals, welcome dogs into their homes, fall in love with them, only to eventually adopt them to their furever families.    

A few years ago, Marilyn was diagnosed with breast cancer.   She didn't for one second ever entertain the idea of closing down the rescue to focus on her health and recovery.   Instead, while she was receiving Chemo drips, she would be on her phone coordinating rescuing dogs.   

HFE recently received one of its biggest blows that we fear we may not be able to overcome.   The vet we use was sold and we recently received a letter stating our vet bill must be paid in 90 days or they will no longer be able to extend their services to our dogs.   We totally understand their reasoning but coming up with $22,000 is an impossible feat for us as a non profit.   Today we humbly ask you to help Marilyn continue to live her passion of saving animals by donating so HFE can pay off the current balance at our vet.   No donation is to small and they are tax deductible.    Thank you for all of your support over the years, we hope we can continue our mission to help save those who need us most.   Closing the doors at HFE would be devastating for Marilyn and all her volunteers.
