Hi Mexivoof,

I would be more than happy to help compose a printed piece that you can use to help fund raise in your area. Thank you so much for your willingness to solicit funds for the Shelter! I totally understand the challenge of asking for money to support a cause across the border and your need for something to present.Your question is excellent & it is a commonly posed one. AnnaLynn (Shammy), Heather & Joana were spot on in their responses! You girls are so eloquent!

Can you bear with me until next week...when I return to Playa. I am presently in Chicago. I do not have photos, logos or graphics on my computer here. I also would like to confer with Andy and Jen to write an effective, persuasive piece. We would love to help you help us.

Essentially, the straight-up answer to the question is ...the problem of homeless, suffering dogs & cats is in fact greater here and yet the resources to address the problem are extremely limited. We are also finding most Foundations that award grants for animal welfare are prohibited to fund organizations outside of the US due to the way their charters/mission statements are written. Thus, it is extremely difficult to get funding as other rescues do in the states.

Thanks Mexivoof for the difference you make in the lives of animals! I'll be in touch next week.

Maureen
