Divinity Girlz is in need of volunteers who will not only help these young ladies learn more about their community, but also help them build a better self-image to allow them to be more productive in society. They can follow their dreams without anything holding them back!
We not only offer the free online magazine but also have local outreach programs in many areas.
All of these activities earn what we call "points" and you need 116 points in order to be crossed over into membership. The deadline to earn your points is in May, 2010. Because you don't live here in New York - we help you significantly with earning your points - that's why having an active email account will become so significant!
You wouldn't believe the impact that you can have on a child - even if you are thousands of miles away. Every person who lives in every state has a different story and kids need to hear all of them. We can't save every child, but we can at least try to save the ones that we can touch.
Once you become a member, you can remain in our organization for as long as you'd like. Our mission is to reach at least one person in every state and build a foundation that will one day hold up one of the most influential voices in community service -- the voices of SIGMA THETA RHO! So far, we have managed to attract at least one person in Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and we also have members in Egypt and Nigeria.
Pledging doesn't cost anything but your time and effort. The deadline is NOVEMBER 5th. Won't you join us??
I am writing this in hope that someone could help in any way. First I will start off about the story of Joy.
Last June I was working at Nash County Animal Control, in Nashville, North Carolina. That is the day I seen the sweetest dog in the world. Joy the Basset Hound. She was covered in flees, had hook worms, and was just heart broken to be in the pound. My husband and I discussed adopting her, thankfully we did because we saved her 30 minutes before she was gassed. After getting minor treatment for hook worms she has been a awesome pet. Joy loves tons of cuddle time, walking around the neighborhood, she loves kids, loves other dogs. And I swear I don’t think she thinks she is a dog. Joy has really taught me a lot in this past year on how to have unconditional love and hope.
Just this past month, upon getting her groomed my groomer found a odd feeling mass in her colon. So I took her to the vet to get it checked. I took joy to Willow Creek Animal Hospital, and she seen Dr. Diane Schaller, (which is a wonderful vet). Well for the past month She has been looking for a way to remove the tumor from joys colon, and because its so close to the anal glands its not going to be a simple surgery.
Today I went back for a follow up, and I was referred to Dr. Jack G. Gallagher at Veterinary Surgical Referral Practice in Cary, North Carolina.
The total cost for the procedure is $1600.00. As of today, me and my husband took out a Care Credit card, and we were approved for $500.00. I know me and my husband can come up with at least $500.00 more of what we need, but that will still leave us short. Something like is un expected and I know that everyone is having money issues now. I don’t want any free help. I am asking if you need anything done, Help around your home cleaning, cooking, baby sitting, literally ANYTHING, I will do to get help for Joy.
I know most people would wonder why anyone would spend so much money on a dog. But I don’t consider Joy as my dog. I look to her as my daughter. I have polycystic Ovarian Syndrome , my ovaries are covered in so many cyst that the chances of me ever having children are slim. Sure I could get the drugs or get implanted, but that is SUPER expensive. I am just happy with Joy. Her love alone is what keeps me smiling everyday.
So please someone out there help us, I don’t want to loose her over this. She doesn’t have any other health issues, besides this.
So if you want your home cleaned, or anything done please let me know. I would love to get an extra 500-600 dollars to help out with this surgery that she is going to need by next month.
Thank you so much everyone, for taking the time to read this, and if at any point you do not feel that you can trust this post. You can personally call Dr. Diane Schaller at (919) 776-1920 to get proof of what needs to be done. You have my name, and Joys name, and just tell them your thinking about helping.
Volunteering looks great on a resume and can help with military promotions! It also makes you feel good to know you are helping these animals who didn't ask to be given up or born.
If you are unable to volunteer please consider donating items from our wish list. We need volunteer(s) to make beds for our cats. We really need someone who can use a sewing machine and make washable beds. Please email me if you can volunteer to do this so I can coordinate and get you the supplies.
The reason I put attention soldiers is in part because over 80% of the animals The Haven receives are from soldiers and it seemed like a good attention getter. We appreciate all that you do and the contributions that you make!:-)
