Join us in making a difference in the lives of those who need it the most.....
When I say we are starting from the ground up, that's exactly what what I mean! We are starting with nothing but the dream of making a difference! I read a quote somewhere once that said " Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you might hit a star!" (author unknown- to me)
So here we are, shooting for the moon! :)
We are in need of EVERYTHING to make this happen! Our goal is for licensing and applying for 501c3 status (to enable donations to be tax deductable), fencing, purchase of a reliable (used) vehicle for transport, stocking the pantry, crates, blankets, toys and all necessities to get Proverbs 1210 Ministries up and running, making a difference for families and animals in need!
You can help by directly donating any of these items, by donating to our campaign and SPREADING the word for us to bring awareness not only to the great need here locally, but nationally as well. Be sure to check it out on our "You are a blessing" page by clicking the widget. We are are doing amazing things, and WILL do amazing things, and we need YOU to be a part of it to make a REAL DIFFERENCE in the lives of those that need it the most. Our campaign is only running through Aug. 30th so please DON'T WAIT!

~THE STARFISH~
Once upon a time there was a wise man who used
to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking
on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore.
As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.
He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day.
So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something
and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out,
"Good morning what are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean." "I guess I should have asked,
why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die." "But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it.
You cant possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one." Author Unknown (to me)
Perhaps you feel like the old man in the poem, wondering how you can possibily make a difference. I've been there and I know the feeling of helplessness and frustration!
We have had two of the worst years of our lives financially, so we know first hand how tight things are for a lot of people right now. We also know that we have set a lofty goal, but an ATTAINABLE one. Because I know that wonderful things come from adversity, and if it weren't for our struggles the seeds for Proverbs 1210 Ministries wouldn't have been planted. We know the feelings of stress and anguish when you suddenly lose your home and have to scramble to find a safe place for your beloved pets. We know the struggle to feed, vet and care for them when we can barely feed ourselves and when everyone around you is telling you to just get rid of them and things would be easier. To us, and many, many other people their animals aren't pets, they're "fur kids", members of the family, and for a lot of people, all they have. We want to eliminate the fear of not being able to provide for as many as we possibily can, one person, one family, one animal at a time.
We can't do this alone and that's where YOU come in.
Your donation of ANY amount is needed to make a difference.
I know we are all leary of giving because their are so many unscupulous people out there and so many that make promises with no follow through. That is why I will provide 100% transparency on all donations made and will publish every donation made along with the donor (unless they wish to remain nameless), and pictures, sales reciepts ect. for every purchase made towards our goal and will also publish weekly, if not daily, blog updates on our progress, educational info, and stories from the world of animal rescue. Please join us in our journey to make proverbs 1210 Ministries a reality!
Thanks and God bless
