Right on Vicky & Leanne, Why would you want to try to bash Jean? She is one of the best shelter Moms I've had the honor of meeting. One of the most compassionate as well. In all the years I've known Jean,she has NEVER asked for help with her shelter other than when she had cancer & she needed help then. We all would under those cirrucumstances. Jean has helped other shelters to stay afloat,myself included. She has given advice over the phone to those people needing good medical advice for a sick baby,dispite her heavy schedule. I have had to close due to no real support,either in volunteers or funding. One day I hope to reopen,however,I won't be able to with no help. Itreally saddened me that there are people that could've helped,they are here on the FML,but were to busy with their lives to help a shelter. Every shelter out there needs help. with fund raising to scooping poops. Go to your closest one & help. Send them a dollar or so to help. Send food,hammies & those cherished eggs. -- Sandi Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter a 501-3c no kill shelter http://fuzzyslave.tripod.com [Posted in FML 5478]
