My Nonprofit Reviews

In the fall of 2013 I received a call from one of my best friends who was in a desperate situation. Having lost her job and struggling to find new work, her unemployment benefits ran out and most days she was going hungry herself so that her cats could eat. Friends chipped in to help out where we could but we couldn't help for much longer and she was out of cat food and needed help. I called local Veterinary offices and asked if there was any program known that would help people who had fallen on hard times in an emergency. I was told to call Guilderhaven. I didn't know what this organization did but I called and explained the situation. Sue Green arranged to meet me that day to drop off some emergency cat food supplies. I expected maybe a small bag of cat food and walked down the street to meet her. She opened her car and gave me two huge bags of cat food, and then a ride back up to my house with them! She also said to have my friend call when the supplies got low and they would be able to help again! I couldn't believe it and my friend, and her cats were extremely grateful. I began attending fundraisers and met several members of Guilderhaven whose work and stories are an amazing inspiration of what people can do to help animals. My friend has since gotten a job and is back on her feet but I have not forgotten the miracle this group performed in coming to the rescue. I want everyone to know about and support this organization. We may think we will never need the help that this group provides, but they offer so much for the animals and their people, and in today's hard economic climate NO ONE is immune from needing some kind of help at some point.
