First Shelter for Humans AND Dogs
Donation protected
THE PROBLEM:
* Approximatly 130 people experiencing homelessness die on the streets of Philadelphia every year.
* A portion of these people die from hypothermia.
* Some people become homeless with their dogs.
* Most shelters are in church basements- and the churches do not permit animals.
*Over the course of operating shelters in churches for 6 years, we have had to turn away countless individuals who are seeking shelter with their dogs.
THE SOLUTION:
*We need to raise $75K to purchase our own property- which will allow us to shelter humans and their animal companions- the FIRST of its kind!
*We are partnering with local pet shelters, which are providing crates, dog supplies, and dog groomers and walkers for our shelter.
* This shelter will be innovative, revolutionary, and life saving.
WE HAVE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS:
*SREHUP is a shelter initiative that has succesfully operated 3 homeless shelters in Phildalphia. We have over 6 years of experience doing this vital work. And we have helped move hundreds of our vulnerable neighbors from street to housing.
*We are different from most shelters because we are not a drop in shelter, and our guests aren't transient.
*The same guests stay with us all winter while we link them to social workers and services they need to get back on their feet.
*This is not a band-aid, it's real and lasting help that changes lives.
*Please donate today, be a part of this groundbreaking project, and help us save the lives of our vulnerable neighbors and their pets.
