Good morning, everyone! 💜🐾
This is Kayla, HAPI's director, popping in for a minute!
We have had SO many amazing things happening around here lately, and while we're still running around like crazy today, I just couldn't wait another minute to stop and say a HUGE thank you to so many people!
We always try to show our appreciation and make sure people know how thankful we are, but this morning I'm feeling an overwhelming amount of gratitude, pride, and excitement for everything happening at HAPI right now. We are beyond blessed! ❤️
First and foremost, OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE ROCKSTARS! 🌟
Seriously, I don't know what we would do without you all. Between our bingo fundraiser, our spay/neuter clinic, caring for the animals at our facility, and the million little things that happen behind the scenes, you all have been absolutely KILLING IT!
Our team may be small, but we are MIGHTY, and we are doing some pretty BIG things right now!
Today, we're hosting our THIRD Namaste Day Spay/Neuter Clinic! 🐾 We have 35 dogs and cats scheduled to be spayed or neutered today, completely FREE to their owners, thanks to the incredibly generous grant funding from the Jason Heigl Foundation! That's 35 more animals whose lives we're making a difference in, and 35 more families we're able to help. And that's just TODAY!
Then there's our bingo fundraiser... WOW! 🤩
This past Monday and Tuesday, we had absolutely outstanding turnouts, with NINETY-TWO PLAYERS joining us yesterday! Our little bingo hall was PACKED! Was it a little chaotic? Absolutely! 😂 But seeing that many people show up to support what we do is something I don't think I'll ever get tired of. I hope everyone had a wonderful time, and I cannot thank you enough for spending your evenings with us!
To everyone who comes out and plays bingo, whether you're there every single week or just stop in occasionally, THANK YOU! Bingo is our largest fundraiser, and the support we receive from our players is a HUGE part of what makes everything else we do possible. Every single one of you matters to us!
And beyond all of that, there are SO many things happening behind the scenes that most people never see. People giving up their time, stepping up when we need an extra hand, donating supplies, making contributions, sharing our posts, helping care for animals, and doing the little things that end up making some of the biggest differences.
I wish I could put into words just how much all of that means to me.
I'm just so incredibly PROUD of what we're building here. Proud of our team, proud of our volunteers, proud of the relationships we've built, and proud of the community that continues to rally around us.
And more than anything, I'm EXCITED.
We're seeing what can happen when good people come together for a common purpose. We're growing, we're reaching more animals and families, and we're accomplishing things that once felt so far out of reach. If we can keep this momentum going, I truly believe some of our very best days are still ahead of us. ❤️
To our volunteers, our bingo players, our donors, our supporters, our veterinary teams, and every pet owner who trusts us with the care of their beloved animals, I just want to say THANK YOU!
You are the reason we can keep doing what we do. You are the reason we can continue pushing forward, taking on new challenges, helping more animals, and working toward a better future for animal welfare in our community.
Please, never underestimate the difference you're making or doubt for a second how much you mean to us.
We're a small organization with some pretty big dreams, and right now, those dreams are becoming reality because of YOU.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in us, standing beside us, and being part of this crazy, wonderful journey.
I can't wait to see what we accomplish together next! 💜🐾
— Kayla
