Economic Help For Venezuelan Shelter

[vanillabuzz]

Hello guys! I had never before shared any type of funding anywhere outside of Instagram where I'm the most active, but I figured I would give this a try because it's so important. Many of you may know that the situation in Venezuela is really bad and in many places they are running out of pet food. The country is in a terrible situation and a small shelter called Patitas Felices (Happy Paws) is planning to move from Venezuela to Colombia, with all of their furry rescues, of course (17 dogs and 5 cats). They need money, however, so I wanted to leave the link here:

Any amount helps. I have researched them to the best of my ability (I have been scammed before so I try my best to look into things before donating, and even more when sharing) and I consider them to be legitimate, but of course, it's your choice whether you want to donate or not. I have donated the highest amount I could manage, but even one dollar would make a difference for them. If you can't donate, please share for others to consider donating.

This is their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fpatitasfelices/ if any of you would like to stop by and take a look, although it is in Spanish I can help translate if any of you need.

Thank you!

What a sad situation.

Thank you! Yes, it's so heartbreaking. I have tried to share their funding page everywhere I can but they're still very far from their goal. I really hope they will make it.

How sad that some causes get incredible amounts of money yet others get only a mere "meh". Too bad they cannot do a video that will go viral ....
