3 Girls Turn Lemonade into Supplies for Animals

Our parent organization HART received this story via email about 3 fantastic girls who worked together to raise money to help animals in need.

Dear HART Animal Relief,

One day my friends and I got together to make a lemonade stand. We weren’t so sure what to do with the money so we decided to give our first donation of $50 to the Sick Kids Hospital. We felt very proud of what we had done so the next week we decided to have another lemonade stand. The reason for this is because we have been noticing many lost pet signs, and we would feel very sad if our pets went missing so we decided to raise money to give to your animal shelter. We choose your animal shelter because my grandmother recently told us that you ran strictly on donations and we would not like it if our pets got lost and had to go to an animal shelter that could not afford the proper treatment. So we decided to help you to buy more supplies to help out those sick, injured or lost pets. We sold each glass of lemonade for 25 cents and ended up raising $60.

Sincerely,
Nicole, Jessica, Ricki

From Ruby's New Family

Ruby was adopted from us on January 20, 2011. Inspired by the Kids that Care Project, her adoptive family left a note and donation with her foster family when they came to pick Ruby up. Thanks so much for your kindness!

Here's what they had to say.......

Hi Sandra,

We went on your site and visited the section about those amazing unselfish children who did something to help those dogs in need. Then I told my kids about it and after seeing that you have lots of dogs coming in and funds running low, they wanted to help a little too.

Here is some cash to help with your bills. Eugenie, Esten and Milo gave some of their Christmas money to help out:

• Eugenie $50 (she is almost 13)
• Esten $50 (he is 11)
• Milo $ 20 (he is 7 and low on cash!)
• and I gave $100 from my last Tupperware sales.

We hope it will help a little.

We are thrilled to add Ruby to our family and will take good care of her.

Cheers and keep up the good work!
