PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP! From New Jersey and New York

Do you have $5.00 Bucks in your pocket?  I CHALLENGE YOU TO $5.00 BUCKS.  THAT'S ALL

I've been waiting here in Ohio to find out how I can help the animals effected by Hurricane Sandy.

If you have heard of any other good or reputable charities please feel free to add them here.  Let's all get together on this one. It is an Emergency. Let's Help

The following letter came from PETPLAN.  As stated in this letter, PetPlan will match dollar to dollar your donation if you are a member.

 

1)   I don't know if the Secure DONATION BUTTON link will work here in this discussion,  so I have added the link below just in case.

2) Lynne has added additional links. Please see below.  Several local area rescues in NJ have put a call out for HELP! .  Animals are coming in everyday.  Please see her links!

 

3) Adrianne Matzkin, has added a letter to this discussion with more addresses and numbers.  So many!  So many need our help.

Whether you've been a part of the Petplan family for six days or six years, you know that at Petplan, pets come first. Right now in the Northeast, in many of Petplan's neighboring communities, families are reeling from the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy. As heartbreaking as it is to watch our neighbors struggle after losing their homes and possessions, it is equally as tragic to consider those four-legged family members who were injured, displaced or worse, as a result of the storm.

While it will likely be months before we know how many pets were affected by Sandy, animals rescued from harm's way are being cared for at emergency shelters in the area. In Port Washington, NY, more than 650 animals now fill the North Shore Animal League America's shelter - with another 100 animals temporarily housed aboard the group's Mobile Rescue Units. Their medical team is providing treatment and comfort to animals that need special care, and the group is working around the clock to find every pet a place to go home to.

As a longtime partner of the North Shore Animal League America, Petplan is committed to aiding in the mission of caring for the ani..., and is making a $5,000 donation to support those efforts.

Additionally, we pledge to match - dollar for dollar - every donation made by members of the Petplan family, up to an additional $5,000.

With your support and generosity, we can direct 15,000 much-needed dollars to helping pets in need.

Please stand with us in giving hope and comfort to not only the helpless pets affected by the storm, but to the thousands of people - like you, and like us - for whom a soft nuzzle and a furry paw can be the best medicine to begin mending a broken heart.

All the very best,

Natasha Ashton
co-founder & co-CEO

These are not even all of them. Every church, fire house, PTO, even regular people are collecting. You can't even imagine how many people are homeless, how many lost everything. Most who lost power, consider ourselves lucky, and I know from friends on FB, the rest of the country is not seeing the whole story. This is a VERY BIG DEAL and I am not exaggerating. Thank you, for anything you can send. 

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Happy to help.
