Without a doubt, 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. The pandemic has changed the way we work, how we live, how our children go to school, kept us in isolation and often plunged us into financial hardship.
For battered American women & children abroad isolation at home with the abuser, abuse has increased an estimated three-fold. Providing support is difficult with the majority of support being conducted via email.
With it being so difficult to escape, pets in violent households are also suffering. Logistics of escaping domestic violence with a precious dog or cat have been overwhelming for victims.
With covid vaccines on the horizon we are expecting a surge of victims seeking assistance with helping them get home with their pets in the coming months.
We hope you will consider another donation before the end of the year to provide funds to meet the coming surge in 2021. And if not, we understand. This year has been hard on everyone.
Thank you and we wish you and your families happiness, health and prosperity as we enter a New Year.
