They were homeless these past seven months, the parents, kids and their beloved dog. Finally everything came together and just this month they found temporary housing. Then a bad situation turned worse when her husband beat her up and now he’s in jail. Leaving this Mom with kids and a dog in desperate need of help.
These are the moments that catch me off guard. The moments that make me stop and say whoa.
The calls and the emails and the letters and the personal conversationswhen people tell me the difference The Pongo Fund has made. And then here comes another call for help, another single moment in time where someone says something that makes it seem new all over again. Like this:
“Hello I’m hoping you can help me, I am in need of help with dog food and getting my dog fixed. Long story short my family and I were homeless from December until this month and last month my husband beat me up and went to jail leaving me with two kids and a dog to feed on my own. Since getting a room to rent I have 0.00 for human food let alone dog food and I could really use some help.”
This email just arrived and The Pongo Fund is on it. We’re working to get the dog spay scheduled and then we’ll work on what we can do for this Mom and her kids too. Surely we’ll provide some food and gift cards for them too.
But right now our Spay/Neuter funds are low and could use some help because we need to get this dog to the vet as soon as we can. If you’d like to help this Mom who’s doing her best to keep it all together, please click here to donate: https://www.thepongofund.org/contact/donation-page/ .
As always, on behalf of all of us at The Pongo Fund, I thank you.
