Hello friends!
We have had such a wonderful December so far and with
everything on the horizon, it just keeps getting better and better! Sit back,
relax, and have a read of the beautiful moments we have shared as well as the
upcoming events we hope you can be a part of.
To our surprise, and joy, we have new furry guests at
the barn! A little feral kitty family took up residence and likes to hang out
in the hay to stay warm and safe. Mama Kitty brought 5 little kittens to us so
we are trying to make their life as comfy as possible by providing food and
clean water this winter. With a few more mouths to feed, we would be so
grateful for anyone who would like to sponsor them or contribute with a
one-time donation to help cover their spay/neuter vaccinations, health checks,
etc. We will trap them, have them vetted, and return them to their normal
routine when they are ready. We just love having their sweet faces around and I
think they enjoy the company too! If you would like to sponsor or make a
contribution, please visit our website here: http://www.projectthrivelocal2global.org/donate.html.
We had a truly wonderful turnout for our Remembrance
Ceremony as well as for our Volunteer Appreciation bon-fire. It was a great day
of stories, memories, community, and good spirited celebration. Thank you to
all that participated and thank you again to all of our phenomenal volunteers,
both near and far! We could not do this work as well without each and every one
of you and we appreciate you more than you could know. If you have been
thinking about volunteering with Project:Thrive and would like some more
information or to simply inquire, you can find out more here: http://www.projectthrivelocal2global.org/donate.html#volunteer.
Project:
Thrive has started partnering with a truly great group, Animal Haus (http://animalhaus.org/ ), who is just getting started and already doing
some pretty awesome things for pets! This organization collects dog and cat
food to help families who are going through difficult times. Project: Thrive
will be collecting unopened bags or cans of pet food to help this group reach
out to even more families who need help this coming year! If you feel moved to
help out too, you can drop unopened bags or cans of food off at our office or
call us to coordinate a pick-up! Our office is located at 6690 W 39th Ave
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033, or to schedule a pickup please call 303.990.2135. The
families and pets of Colorado thank you!
Springtime will bring
more than just April showers and May flowers to Colorado in 2017. This upcoming
spring we will be helping Life is Better Rescue (http://www.lifeisbetterrescue.org/ ) by finding resident senior volunteers at
Senior Care Facilities to help feed, comfort, and engage with the orphaned
kittens that Life is Better Rescue takes in every spring. If you know of a
Senior Care Facility who might be interested in getting their seniors involved,
please let us know. Training will be provided and the interaction between the
seniors and the kittens are the things dreams are made of. We can’t wait to get
started on this project!
Our Animal Spotlight for December is on sweet and
gentle Roja the horse. Roja joined our family when her 89 year young mom (a
super, amazing woman) had to have a knee replacement and wouldn’t be able to
ride her for a while. Roja lived most of her life at the stable with other
boarded horses and adult care takers. When she arrived she was shy and it took
her a while to warm up to daily chats, grooming, and singing in the barn. But,
once she got in the groove she decided she really enjoyed sharing in it! She
loves the attention but really enjoys the younger crowd and teaches them that
being really big just means one has a really big heart and spirit. We just love
our big, red girl!
Tis’ the season for giving, sharing, kindness, and
caring. When thinking about gift giving this year, we hope you will consider
all of the deserving animals at the Project: Thrive barn. They have been so
good this year while lovingly teaching humans about kind interaction, gentle
living, and trustworthy relationships. They have mended many hearts with their unconditional
love and continue to show us humans what kindness and love truly looks like. If
you should feel moved to contribute, please visit the following link: http://www.projectthrivelocal2global.org/rescues.html. Don’t forget that you can also easily donate
through AmazonSmiles as well! It is a great feature of Amazon that allows a
portion of the proceeds for any of your purchases to go to the charity of your
choice (like Project:Thrive J). You can check it out at https://smile.amazon.com/ .Perhaps you may
wish to sponsor one (or many) of our furry friends to help support them all
through the year. One time donations are also greatly appreciated and help
tremendously. Or, maybe you would like to participate in one of the
opportunities mentioned previously. We welcome your generosity with much
gratitude and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind consideration.
