PLEASE SUPPORT THIS WORTHY CAUSE OR SPREAD THE WORD...

The raffle has begun! 

FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL BLOGGERS & FOLLOWERS OF DRIFTWOOD RAMBLINGS:

Linda is wanting everyone to take up the cause in their own areas and countries by making a donation to a rescue shelter in need in their region. It is her fervent wish that Romeo's Wish grows into something worldwide through everyone spreading the word to do something similar.

Please help me to help make a difference

Just a short one to let you all know that the Romeo's Wish raffle has officially begun!

To find out more and to see all of the fabulous prizes on offer, please click here.
To buy tickets, please click here.



 I HAVE DONE SOMETHING....

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society.

I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry.

"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"

God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly, "I have done something," he replied. "I created you."

Please help in any way you can...even if it is just by spreading the message on behalf of Romeo's Wish

  7. To all my dear, sweet International followers!

    Thank you so much for your encouragement and for spreading the word as I'm sure manu of you will have other South African followers who would be able to participate in the raffle or make a donation in kind.

    The list of prizes has grown admirably. The tickets are moving, although a little more slowly than we'd initially hoped. It's only the first day, though, so we're holding thumbs it picks up as more people in our area get to hear about it.

  12. Hi Karen, Lavi & Ria!

    Thank you so much for your wonderful encouragement and for taking up the cause in your own countries! It will be a wish come true if it helps animals worldwide through making everyone more aware of the plight of these little unloved souls. The carers in these shelters do so much good with so few resources. They do a very hard job that few of us would be willing to take on.

    Big hug to you all!!! xoxoxo

  13. I clicked on the link, but now I see you are aware that it would be quite difficult for someone from another country to buy a ticket. If there was a paypal option, that might make it easier...

    :-)
    just a thought, and I have no idea how that works.

  16. Hi Desiree. What a gorgeous photo of Romeo. What beautiful eyes he had. I will donate something to our local animal shelter in this area. I suppose it all helps and they do need the money for this very worthwhile cause. Good luck with the Raffle.

  24. I do, Desiree! Every May, a gal in our garden club pots up hundreds of Iris palnts t sell with the proceeds going to build a shelter in our small town. I help publicize it in my garden column. We also have a Animal Faire event each year! Good causes and fun, too!
