Re: My fish rescue business is in danger. Can you help?
Patti....man Lauri has been my letter writer on this site. I haven't seen her on lately but I know she is dealing with some very personal family issues right now. A family member is very sick and I hope things are going ok for her as she has been so kind. So let me think of a letter or if you could help me come up with one for others to send would be wonderful too. I get very long winded and as Lauri told me, you have to grab the readers attention in the first paragraph to gain their attention.
This new YORK rep was supposed to have called me yesterday and did not. I will be placing a call back to him if I haven't heard anything by early afternoon. He knows the importance but he does not handle my area....a closer rep does and that who he was trying to contact for me.
As for a fundraiser. No. I know Greg has been talking about doing something, but he must be really busy and hasn't done anything yet to the best of my knowledge. I don't want to keep bugging him as he offered out of the kindness of his heart and I don't want to push in case he changed his mind. He said he had some college stuff left over and was going to post stuff on here to sell. If he is still interested please let either me or Patti know. Thanks!
Or if anyone else has any ideas, I would love to hear. I know people do care but I also know the economy is hurting everyone these days too. The two donations I did receive this week, one for $5 and one for $10 both said they couldn't offer much but hope everyone can see $5 or $10 can add up. The one who sent $5 was from NC and this is some of what she wrote to me:
"I hate how people seem to think and treat fish as disposable pets. I think you are doing a good thing, and I hope the 24 donations are from the last week, since your update was posted, and not in the whole time you've been doing this. I'm just sorry that I can't do more."
I did email her back of course and thanked her for her kind donation but told her that is the number of donations period. Any and all do add up. I can't give up hope. Not yet.
