Review for Life Unlimited of Virginia Inc, Rapidan, VA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I appreciate my friend Kerry for starting Rikki's Refuge many years ago and her mother for providing the property for the location.

The Refuge is near me and I have seen it grow and become a very important place, in the community under Kerry's careful guidance. It's not the "fanciest" place (like many multi million dollar shelters) but they are always improving and have the most incredible, hard working and dedicated staff imaginable.

Over the years I have been privileged that they have allowed me to help in a few ways. It has benefitted me far more then they will ever know.

Kerry, Doug, Lauren and the rest
are always taking care of the "ones" no one else cares for/about. She's a good friend to me and to all animals

Rating: 5 stars  

Have been a supporter of Rikki's for many years. They work so hard and make EVERY penny count. I've seen huge improvements over time. The volunteers are so much help with projects.

There was a time in my life when things were not good health wise. They allowed me to help out some but mostly just BE and relax; forget my worries. It is such a wonderful peaceful place I can honestly say they helped me feel better.

The people that work there are dedicated and work unbelievably hard in all conditions. I would never worry that my donations would be wasted.

I have been involved with Rikki's Refuge for close to 10 years. It is a wonderful place that has helped me much more over the years than I can imagine that I have helped them. During difficult times in my life I have been able to get "out of myself" while helping out. The wonderful work done at the Refuge gave me a sense of hope and belonging when things were not going well in my life. They not only save animal lives but benefit and strenghten human lives. They have helped me in ways they will never know and I love and thank them for that. I encourage everyone who loves/respects animals to volunteer or donate to this worthy group.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

All the hard work moving from a huge cornfield to a functioning site.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Try to get Kerry more help and money

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Seeing all the animals that have been helped.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Hard working and devoted to a really difficult job.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Build better facilities for the animals, hire a full time Vet and hire more workers.

Ways to make it better...

I had had more time and money to help.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

man power and money
