Helping Our Pets Cross the Rainbow Bridge at Home

We are proud to submit our March 31, 2017 report for the GlobalGiving site for Sugar's Gift, Inc.  We love every single one of our donors no matter the amount given to us. We appreciate every dollar we receive that goes toward our mission.  Animals are so precious and we need to make their transitions to the Rainbow Bridge as loving, caring and peaceful as we can.  That is why we began Sugar's Gift, Inc.  Again, I know all of your probably know our mission, but here it is in black and white:

SUGAR’S GIFT, INC.:  Our mission is to provide hospice, euthanasia and end-of-life veterinary services for terminally ill pets in their own homes. This allows them a comfortable, peaceful setting, where they have lived and been loved, to cross over the Rainbow Bridge with dignity. Our services overcome conditions that could be due to the pet’s inability to be moved or treated at a facility, or due to the owner’s inability to leave the home.

Our 10-year old Yorkie, Sugar, passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2013. We made sure she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge from home with comfort, dignity and peace. Sugar’s Gift to your Little Angel is to allow them the same privilege: Sugar is helping them cross over the Rainbow Bridge from home, with the help from others who have donated funds to make that happen. Every Little Angel should be able to spend their last moments in the place they are most comfortable – at home.

SUGAR’S GIFT, INC. is the only non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization in the country whose mission is to help terminally ill pets cross over the Rainbow Bridge from home with comfort, dignity and peace. 

We had an opportunity to become a full partner with GlobalGiving my January 7, 2017, with enough support from donors.   We made a lot of calls and sent a lot of emails, as well as posting our urgent request on Facebook……and we got a wonderful response! We made it! We made enough in donor contributions, as well a required number of donors to become vetted and a full partner! We are so proud to be a part of the GlobalGiving Community. We also had 2 donations in February from 2 new donors who used gift cards. What a nice surprise!

You, as our donors, made this happen!   We can't thank you enough! We ask that you please spread the word to others who love animals to see if they would donate to our special cause. 

As Nikki recovers from her traumatic brain injury, we are hopeful that 2017 will be our breakout year. One of the reasons we wanted to partner with GlobalGiving originally is that the Animal Planet has its R.O.A.R. project with them, and we eventually want to be a part of that. We mentioned that to many of you in our requests for donations in December and January.

Our goal is to help one pet per day cross over the Rainbow Bridge with comfort, dignity and peace. It costs us approximately $1,000 to help one pet. We expect that once our presence is known, we will need to fund one pet per day by the end of the first year. By the end of year 2, we hope to be not only in the Sarasota/Bradenton region, but also in all of Florida. Then, by the end of year 5, we want to be nationwide.

Our newsletters will be back starting the end of the first quarter of 2017.  If you are not on our email list, please let us know if you would like to be added. 

Thank you, again, for your support for Sugar's Gift - but, more importantly, thank you for helping all the angels who really need your funding to help them cross the Rainbow Bridge with comfort, dignity and peace.  Again, please feel free to share our information with your family and friends, or anyone who loves their babies as much as we do.
