This is my second request for help for a dear friend. Last time I didn't get any takers but I'm hoping for any of you who may have seen Helen of Helping Hands Ferret Rescue and Shelter at the 3 Rivers show that you will have time to help her. She has cancer and now is battling shingles too. She needs, desperately needs, some helping hands at her shelter. If three or four of us could get together what a difference we could make for her. For those of you who don't like to do litter boxes (do any of us LOL), there is still nail clipping, water bottle freshening, food refilling, changing bedding, ear cleaning, bathing, giving meds, floor sweeping, and so on. I'll do the litter boxes and you can even just fill them and take them back to the cages. She has around 55 ferrets and two helpers, her daughter and her nine year old granddaughter. Helen is not supposed to be near the ferrets right now cause of her immune system. SHE NEEDS OUR HELP. For anyone who loves ferrets and is even vaguely in the Slippery Rock, Butler, Pittsburgh, New Castle, Mercer, Barkeyville, Franklin area, please meet with me this upcoming Saturday to help her. I am not talking about any commitment, just a Saturday to help her get caught up. If you need directions drop me an email. It's very easy to find. I usually spend three or four hours once a month but I can't do enough on my own. We need more bodies. Please find it in your hearts to help this kind woman who has saved so many ferrets and now needs that kind of loving help shown to her. You can check out her site on the web or email me for more details. You don't have to know her just love ferrets. It doesn't even have to be this Saturday although it would be easier if we had more people at one time. I don't think you've ever seen me on here in sixteen years begging for something but I am now. My email is [log in to unmask] Let's show her how ferret people pull together during an emergency. Thanks, Laurel [Posted in FML 5622]
