Hi everyone! Founder #1 here! ^_^
We have updated in the previous post about the breakdown of in-kind donations, but we'd like to repost the happy images we have had in this bittersweet goodbye, along with highlighting the cash donation avenues along with proof of the amazing communities cash transfers for donation.
Contributions of food, supplies, medicine, vaccines, and any sort of help go a long way, but if you have cash in surplus, these verified and true shelters who do rescue from a true place of love can surely use it to fund more of the amazing work they do, and secure the homes in which hundreds of rescue animals live.
We would absolutely love to thank Jen Ng of Mibo Pet Shop and the ever amazing service of ClownVietnam who has been our transport partner across so many charity trips in the last 5 years.
Of course, thank you to our foster partner R House - Diner & Lounge who as always packed, divided, and prepped the inventory and logistics of bringing hundreds of kilograms of donations! Thank you also to Vet Le Hung of Tan Binh for agreeing to receive so many many kind donations for the rescues as our receiving point.
Thank you most of all to so many kind hearts who contributed so much. The shelters were so happy--both the 4 legged and 2 legged humans were relieved by the little help we could give.
And lastly, thank you for giving this foreign founder the chance to say goodbye to each and every one of these local shelters, who, along with Saigon Cứu Hộ Chó Mèo Sài Gòn Time - SGT, are some of my most beloved sources of inspiration and drive. The loving people of Vietnam in the rescue community will forever have my love and admiration, and our promise to you is that no matter what, we will advocate for the welfare of rescues and the dignity of rescue homes and the humans who work tirelessly in this field for as long as Pawfect Match stands.
Thank you. Thank you for everything, and thank you, most of all, for your love and heroism.
