Richland Gives, Day 5:
Yesterday my brother (my OWN flesh and blood) asked me a great question: "What do you guys do when you have a fundraiser and it raises more money than you need?" Great question, right?
While I don't know of a single nonprofit who muses, "Wow. It's like we have TOO much money," I will admit that some fundraisers do better than others because we have the bestest of the best supporters.
So what do we do with all that extra money?
1. We stay open another day.
2. We help more animals.
3. We pay our hardworking staff and pay our water, electric, gas, etc bills ON TIME.
4. If we're lucky, we have a little bit left over to put in the bank for a time when donations are not so great.
THIS is Grace, a very sweet kitten who came in with a degloved jaw. Because of the generosity of our community, we are able to help kittens like Grace get much needed lifesaving surgery and get all fixed up so we can get her into a loving home.

(After) Today, all fixed up and looking foxy (right).
Girlfriend is finally ready for that next level happily, ever after, and you can apply for her here, www.adoptourstrays.com/ouranimals/adoptables
