Remembering Betty White 💕

I’ve never been someone who follows the lives of celebrities. I honestly don’t care what they do in their private lives. It doesn’t affect me.

Betty White was different. I love(d) her comedy. I love(d) the way she talked about her beloved Allen. I especially love(d) her kindness, compassion & dedication to animals. Her death has affected me & I think it’s probably even more pronounced because I was looking forward to her 100th birthday celebration today.

Betty White left us with an even sadder ending to 2021 than anyone who loved her expected. 💔

I’m guessing that the receiving line at Rainbow 🌈 Bridge is still a long one! Between the animals & human lives she touched so lovingly, that line will probably be neverending…

I’ll be donating $5 to each of my 10 favorite animal welfare groups today for the Betty White Challenge. It’s not much, but I’m happy to do it to honor her. Please consider joining me…

Final tally: I actually went a little overboard & ended up sending $5 to 11 organizations. 🤷‍♀️ The Fraud Prevention division of my bank contacted me last night re: multiple $5 charges! I’m glad they were on top of it, but it’s still funny. 😁

I wasn’t able to get a donation to “my” zoos because my $5 donation was under their minimum. 🥺

PEI Humane Society – Maddie❣
Newhouse Wildlife Rescue – MA
Cape Ann Wildlife Sanctuary – MA (Jodi rehabbed my baby crows 💕)
Don’t Forget Us Farm Sanctuary – MA (FB favorite)
Wright Ranch Rescue – FL (FB favorite)
Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue – ND (FB favorite)
The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary – CT (FB favorite – This sanctuary was the dream of the little girl that was killed in the Newtown, CT school shooting 💔)
Best Friends Animal Society – Utah
Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary – TN
Wolf Hollow – MA
Missing Dogs Massachusetts – MA

I had several additional, worthy organizations on my list, but I had to draw the line. 😁 Either they got food or Maddie & I get food… 🥴

I really hope this becomes an annual event. A $5 donation doesn’t feel like much, but when thousands of people donate $5… ❣
