Helena Dillon hasn't added a story.
"Dogs in Brazil" is a shelter devoted entirely to saving street dogs in Brazil. They take in injured and diseased dogs who desperately require human help after being abandonned by their owners or born onto the streets. Their work started in 2001 and they became an official non-profit charity after devastating floods which occurred in January 2011.
In 2014, a group of highly motivated individuals came together via Facebook and Twitter to help raise much needed funds and finally provide Dogs in Brazil with a property they could their own; no more landlords and threats of eviction. A 'forever home' for Jan, Carlos and their charges.
The story hasn't had its 'happy ending' yet. A much needed infrastructure has to be built. This takes money. Drainage, kennels, land clearance not to mention pumps for clean water and the endless vet bills. These dogs need our help, just buying their house was no way the end of the story!
So I am doing it again; I am running in the Robin Hood Half Marathon on 27th September this year. And I need your support to raise money to help Jan and Carlos. Please, give as generously as you can. Last year I raised over £1000 thanks to the incredible donations and support of you, my great friends and fellow animal lovers. Any further fund raising will be put to such good use by Jan and Carlos and I will be eternally grateful to you.
Thank you
with my love Helena x
