This is Girl Person.
First, thank you. Thank you for encouraging us, praying for us, helping us when you can and continuing to believe in what we are trying to accomplish. I know every one of you has your own worries, bills, struggles and heartbreaks. Yet somehow, you still make room in your lives for ours. That means more than I can ever explain.
It’s easy to tell someone to stay warm when you’re warm. It’s easy to tell someone not to worry when you have nothing to worry about. And it’s easier to encourage someone to keep going when your own road is clear. But when you’re cold, exhausted, worried and uncertain about tomorrow, those words can be much harder to believe.
Tomorrow, we are facing a red weather alert for rain here in Portofino. Today is about gathering supplies and wood pellets because the wood we have is soaked. Boy Person is doing everything he can to keep us warm while we wait for the delayed closing of our rustico. Every additional day brings more expenses and uncertainty, and I won’t pretend this has been easy.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare for another storm on this mountain.
But even in the middle of all this, I want you to know that we haven’t forgotten why we started this journey fifteen years ago. Making Rescues The Breed Of Choice. We have so much more we want to accomplish, so many shelters we want to help and so many animals whose lives we hope to change.
Thank you for rescuing. Thank you for adopting, fostering, sharing shelter dogs and believing that every animal deserves a chance. Thank you for being our porch lights when the path ahead seems dark.
Some way, somehow, we will save lives with you. I believe that with all my heart. We just have to get through this difficult chapter so we can begin the next one.
And when we do, I hope you know that every life we help save will be part of your story, too. Because your encouragement is helping us get there.
With love and gratitude,
Girl Person, Boy Person and Fruitycake ❤️
