I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as I write this e-mail. Jim & I have put our hearts and souls into our shelter here in Maine for 13 years, and we would do anything for these 34 kids in the shelter. We have run into a bit of trouble and need to reach out due to 2 kids in the shelter needing alot of care, which took alot of money. Smokey has problems with his nasal cavity to the point he was banging his face on the floor from sneezing so hard and often, everything the vet is trying isn't working. The next step is a scan which costs about $1000.00 to figure this out. Then we took in a Oden and Thor, Thor is OK but Oden came in with a cardoma on the end of his tail the size of a ball, broken open and sore, it had to go. There went another $400.00. Right to the point we need to ask for help financially to buy the wood pellets to keep these guys warm. We had the funds to do buy 4 tons to keep these guys warm, but as I said earlier we spent it on necessity to take care of the health needs. We can get the pellets for $190.00 a ton, but we need to find a way to do it. If anyone reading this can help we would truly appreciate it. If anyone has any questions please e-mail us. As I said before there is NOTHING we wouldn't do for these guys and gals(kids). We are still the only shelter in Maine. Thank you to anyone that can help and hugs and kisses from all the kids!!!!
