URGENT ROOF REPAIRS - HOPE 79 POUR LES ANIMAUX CHARITY SHOP

Hi, my name is Amanda Willingham, the president of:

Hope 79 Pour les Animaux; www.hope79.org

a non profit association/charity, run entirely by volunteers in the area of Deux Sevres, (79), South West France, raising money through the resale of customer donations of everyday items, to distribute funds to associations/charities in the Deux Sevres and surrounding departments (Vienne, Charente, Charente Maritime), who help ill treated, abused and unwanted animals.

We have a dedicated, hard working team of volunteers, who do an amazing job maximising available funds available, by sorting, upcycling, creating sales from all donations, in the most imaginative of ways, but the leaking roof causes major problems, damaging much needed goods and creating an increasingly unacceptable working/shopping environment for all.

Without our shop in Sauzé-Vaussais (79190) our work would be impossible, leaving the many, (36+), animal associations/charities we currently support without much needed funding.

Urgent roof repairs are needed to our building to allow us to remain open and to continue our support associations/charities and animals relying on us.

We have a very reasonable estimate, from a supportive, extremely reputable, registered and insured local builder, of just under 7,400€ to have the repair work completed.

We are appealing to you, our amazing supporters and to all animal lovers further afield, to help us raise this figure...to ensure we can continue to help associations/charities save unwanted and distressed animals.

Every penny we can raise towards the roof repairs through this appeal will allow additional funds to be distributed to the hard working associations/charities we and our loyal and valued customers support.

Our furry and feathered friends have no voices; we must speak for them and do what we can to help them in their times of need.

Please donate whatever you can!

All contributions count and are so very much appreciated!!

Thank you!
