Charity of the Month for October 2012

Every month on the site we will highlight a charity that is dear to my heart on many levels, either personally or because I know of someone who is dealing with a difficult situation, an illness, or a disaster. Also, because I care. I care about people and animals and I truly want to help in any way that I can to make life better for them. At times we all need help. Maybe it's difficult to ask for it or maybe we don't know how or can't, but we can all stand up and reach out a helping hand in whatever way works for us. Again, thank you for reading and considering to help someone in need.

HELPING ANIMALS:

Huron Valley Humane Society

Since 1998 I have supported the HVHS in Washtenaw County. We found our first kitten there, tiny body with these tall ears and a pewter colored nose. She captured our hearts at first sight. Tabitha, who is now into her teenage people years, has been through everything in our home. From bringing home a new baby, to a 5 year old rescued dog, to a kitten (which came from HVHS too). She is now very content laying on our bed all day, soaking up the sun. Her knees and teeth are giving out on her, which causes her to cry out when we pick her up. Because of this, she has obtained the nickname of "Cranky"...but we love our old girl very much. The work that they do at HVHS is wonderful. They are a no kill facility and will do everything to find a home or rescue shelter for every animal that comes to them. If you are in the area, you should walk through their wonderful facility. Who knows, maybe you will find your perfect family member!
