Five on Friday- donations

lately i have been seeing that there are a lot of places in need of donations.  these are some of the ones we have supported and why it was important to us to help them.  please help if you can too!


1.  The Women's Center (Waukesha)

our church has Zumba every Tuesday, and they call is Zumba CARES because instead of paying for the class, they pick a charity and ask for participants to donate to instead.  for January and February, they have been collecting donations for The Women's Center.  this is a great cause because it helps support abused women.


2.  Miller for Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue

Miller has a lot of medical expenses.  he needs an x-ray, surgery on his eyes, and dental work done.  it is possible that he might even lose his eye sight if he has to wait too long to have surgery. :(


3.  Kim for St. Baldrick's Foundation

this is a Facebook friend of mine, she was also in one of my college classes with me.  she is planning on shaving her head for her hair to be made into a wig for a cancer patient.  the funds go toward research in field of childhood cancer.  this is such a selfless thing she is doing.  i am so proud of her :)


4. Adams County Humane Society

they had a fire at their facility. they were thinking a dryer started it.  luckily all the animals were saved by some very dedicated people.  but they have to clean up and get the everything back to normal so that they can find forever homes for all of their animals.


 5.  Wisconsin Boston Terrier Rescue

we are always needing help to pay for surgeries.  like our Remi is having her surgery Monday, this is something they pay for in order to keep her alive and get her adopted, we just happen to be the lucky ones fostering and adopting her (aka foster failure).  and we will be helping pay for the surgery.  there are a lot of dogs we get in, and every one is vetted, up to date on shots, and fixed.  sometimes there is even more that they need, like dental, or in Remi's case, knee and tail surgery.  the cost of the surgeries are always much more than their adoption fee, so extra funds are always needed.
