Friends, we had an unexpected expense this month… After 19 years, our lawn mower finally gave out. We were lucky enough to have it had been donated to us by a supporter's estate. With 31 dogs relying on well-kept and safe outdoor spaces, this wasn’t something we could put off.
Thanks to our head of maintenance, Josh, we avoided costly labor. He was maintaining and repairing the mower himself for several years, but this month we were forced to replace the mower. (Check out the 19 year old mower below!) Unfortunately, the new mower has set us back $4,900 which we hadn’t planned for.
This isn’t just about cutting the grass. For our animals, it’s about having an environment for them to exercise in that is safe and sanitary every single day. That’s why we’re asking for your help.
Today, your gift goes even further... A generous supporter MATCHED the first $500 donated yesterday... We've had another generous donor pledge to match the next $500, as well!
Will you help us recover this cost and keep our shelter running smoothly for pets like Big Gulp, Boulder, Cash, Groot, and Ashton (pictured playing in our yard below) and the nearly 600 dogs who rely on us each year?
Please consider making a small donation. Every dollar truly makes a difference right now. From all of us at CHHS, thank you for being part of what keeps Caring Hands open. Donate directly through this link... Thank you.
