URGENT REQUEST FOR HELP!!!

Our main contact and foster home for getting dogs out of Robeson County lost everything last night in a fire.  Her home, her belongs and many animals.  She was able to save a lot of her animals but in the process sustained multiple injuries including a cut on her arm requiring 20+ stitches and 2nd degree burns on her head, face and arms.

Because of everything she has done to save these animals and to help our rescues, we feel obligated to return the favor.  We are now turning the funds received for Pennies for Puppies into a relief fund to help her get back on her feet and to provide care/boarding for the animals she saved.  If you can donate any money or supplies it would be much appreciated.  She only escaped with her pajamas.  She lost everything else.  The red cross is providing some assistance in helping her find a place to live, but they can only provide so much.

At this point we are looking for the following:

  • Dog/cat food (all was stored in her home and was lost as well)
  • Clothing, Shoes, toiletries, etc (Will find out the size and edit this post)
  • Home supplies including but not limited to linens, pots, etc.
  • Gas cards (She now has to drive more than 20 miles each way to care for the animals where they are currently.
  • Any amount of money that can help her pay for day to day expenses.
This isn't something we, as a rescue, would typically raise money for, but she has been an unbelievable help in saving animals from Robeson County.  She's made as many as 2-3 trips per day to the shelter to get animals and assure they are safe.  When she's not working her own job, she spends every second with rescue work.  This is the least we can do for what she has done for us.
