Hi! from an old-timer; and a request for help

[bey]

Hi all,

It's been a very, very long time since I've been on the boards - pretty much since TN boards imploded and everyone transitioned to ProBoards.  I used to be a regular poster on Pets back in the Nest days.  The Pets board LITERALLY changed my life.  I met some wonderful women - many of whom I'm still in contact with today - and co-founded a nonprofit organization, Street Mutts (streetmutts.com), with another regular (and current GBCN-er, mp).  Our organization has secured our first international agreement to develop educational programming focused on street animal welfare in Nicaragua.  We'll be working with two organizations, NicaVets and RVETS, who currently provide veterinary services to the animals within their communities, but see a great need for the type of educational programming that we will provide. We've started an online fundraiser via Generosity.com to help us raise the funds to support this partnership.  That fundraiser can be found here:  igg.me/at/buboPfM6jmc.  I hope you don't mind me posting it here; this community has given me so much, and I'm asking if you will consider donating or sharing to help us raise the funds.  We are a registered 501c3 organization, so donations are tax deductible.  Thank you!
