<div><strong>Starting the New Year by Doing Something Good</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For many years, our family has followed a New Year’s tradition that is very close to our hearts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No matter how we celebrate, whether big or small, we donate the same amount to a meaningful cause. For us, it’s a conscious way to close one year and begin the next: by giving back and starting the new year with kindness, purpose and a good deed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, we have chosen to support <a href="https://www.straydogscenteruae.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Stray Dogs Center UAE</strong></a>, a licensed, non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing stray dogs from the streets of the UAE and giving them safety, medical care and a second chance at life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead of gifts, drinks or food, we are inviting friends and supporters to join us in this tradition and help turn a moment of celebration into something that truly matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations from this campaign go directly toward supporting the rescue, care and protection of dogs in need through Stray Dogs Center UAE.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every 500 AED (approx. 125 EUR) helps rescue one dog and secure a safe place within the shelter system.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Stray Dogs Center UAE</strong>
</div>
<div>Founded in 2013, Stray Dogs Center UAE (SDC) is a licensed, non-profit animal welfare organization operating under a strict no-kill policy.
</div>
<ul>
<li>Licensed by MOCCAE and the Government of Umm Al Quwain
</li>
<li>Currently caring for 1,500 rescue dogs
</li>
<li>More than 6,000 dogs successfully rehomed
</li>
<li>Also rescuing and caring for other abandoned animals
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most dogs arrive in devastating condition: starved, injured, sick, traumatized or abandoned after years of neglect. Some are found at the very edge of survival.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>SDC gives them what they have often never known:
</div>
<ul>
<li>medical care
</li>
<li>safety
</li>
<li>patience
</li>
<li>and the time they need to heal
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From there, every dog is prepared for adoption - because the mission is not just rescue, but a future for the little ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Donation Does</strong>
</div>
<div>Your contribution directly supports:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Emergency rescues of abandoned and injured dogs
</li>
<li>Medical treatment and rehabilitation
</li>
<li>Safe shelter, care and nutrition
</li>
<li>Preparation for adoption and rehoming
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every 500 AED = one dog rescued.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Continuing Our Tradition</strong>
</div>
<div>This year, we are continuing our family tradition once again.
</div>
<div>Whatever we spend on celebrating New Year’s Eve, we will donate the same amount to this cause.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>To make this possible, we need your support.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would normally bring a gift, drinks or food, we kindly ask you to support this tradition instead and help us turn our New Year’s celebration into a meaningful act of giving.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this tradition and for helping us start the new year by giving back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life is about giving,
</div>
<div>Sasha &amp; Levin
