My name is Mariah Faulkingham and I am stationed overseas in Japan with my husband, Steven. We’re both Active Duty military. While being overseas we extended our family adding Addison, Ashe and Cooper. They were rescued by an American Rescue on island. Cooper was an owner surrender at the age of 6 months due to unforeseen circumstances. Addison was found in a local gassing facility pregnant with 7 puppies and Ashe was found on the side of the road with her two siblings.

We were originally quoted $4,200 to fly our animals back home and now that price has been increased to $7,500 due to the coronavirus.  We have the $4,200 saved up, but we’re falling short of $3,300. Here is how the expenses were broken down to us  from a pet shipper. Okinawa to Haneda ¥75,000 ($699.77), Haneda- Narita 800$, Narita Pet Hotel- $200, Narita- ORD ¥416,000 ($3881), ANA Import fee ranges from $105-$200 and ORD to Omaha, NE- $1600. An estimated cost of $7,380.77.  

Anyone who knows us knows our animals are our babies and we can’t leave them behind. We will do everything we can to bring them back home. We leave to head back to the states in October and just don’t have enough time to raise that money all by ourselves. Anything helps. PLEASE HELP US BRING OUR BABIES HOME!
