Stefanie Powers posted about this organisation and what they are doing to help abandoned and rescued horses during the LA Fires this month. It's always tough to figure out which charity is trustworthy, so when a celeb backs them up, I feel better about making a donation and feeling secure that it will go where it is intended.
Fleet of Angels has been called "the most responsive national go-to organization in the country" for helping horse owners and small rescues when they need urgent assistance after being devastated by a natural disaster or other major emergency.
We urgently need your help with the challenge of keeping horses safe and in good care through the seemingly unending crises currently affecting horses in the United States and beyond. Never before in our history have we been asked to help so many horse owners and small rescues overcome challenges that threaten the wellbeing of equines in their care. Horses suffer if we aren't able to step up, and we hope that you will join us in our goal of never having to turn our backs on equines in crisis due to a lack of funds.
From devastating wildfires still raging in the west to catastrophic hurricanes in the south and east, and with both draught and flooding wrecking havoc in between, disasters are putting incredible numbers of horses and their equine relatives in very perilous situations.
Our goal is to keep horses safe and in good care so they can stay with their loving families and equine friends, giving their owners more time to regroup, repair, and start to recover from devastating situations. By providing a combination of grants and services, Fleet of Angels provides qualified applicants' horses with what they need to stay safe and healthy during temporary challenges.
No other equine-centric nonprofit in the country laser-focuses its resources on the mission of providing grants and critical services to both private owners and small rescues to help horses through crises.
Help us help them. Please.
And Steve Guttenberg (love that guy!) mentioned ARC in his bio links.
There are nearly 1,000 incarcerated firefighters currently battling the Los Angeles fires. As part of a voluntary program within CDCR, these men and women earn between $5.80 to $10.24 per day, working in 24 hour shifts.
Support these unsung heroes today by donating to our “FIREFIGHTER FUND”. Every dollar you give will go towards:
Immediate needs: ‘thank you’ meals, food trucks, hygiene supplies including shower trucks, clothing and equipment for our crew members on the ground battling the Palisades and Eaton fires
Fire camp upgrades: new televisions, microwaves, gym equipment, sports equipment and more.
Scholarship funds for individuals once they’re released: support for school supplies, housing, utilities, rent, as well as necessary equipment those entering professional firefighting careers.
These are the same men and women our society once threw away, and now they are risking their lives to save ours. Let’s honor the dignity and humanity in each of us because you never know who will need saving and who will be the hero.
Please join me in the Low Budget Philanthropy movement and help out your community and beyond in the simplest way - donating any amount to whatever charity or organisation that you care about!
