Please do this Old Doll a favour and DO NOT GENERALIZE.
I have animals and i do not neglect them. I know so many people who do not neglect there animals.
One of my dogs is now lying at my feet as i type this post. He is well fed, has no fleas, has been walked, cuddled,
played with, and had a run around this evening with a bubble machine bought especially for him to amuse while im gardening.
He has also listened to my guitar practise, is also my best fan
Sue, my lovely friend [ Roger Guppys ex wife } Has a dog better minded then some children i know of.
You have your health i assume. So get off your Derriere". There's loads you can do.
Our wee club just recently raised 11 thousand euro in one night [ about 14,000 dollars] for S.A.D.S. We had a young girl about to be married, who also played on one of our teams died with "Sudden adult death syndrome"
The cheque was presented to the parents of Cormac, see link below. Another sads case.

A small group in our club, organized this event. People and companies donate lots of things for auctions and raffles.
We all have unwanted stuff we gladly donate for prizes.
Get a good band, one big venue [ usually given free as they make a profit on the bar }
There's absolutely tons you can do to raise funds.
I personally will have a quiz night soon for the "lifeboats around the irish coast line. 3,000 euro it is for one lifeboat jacket. I hope to raise that amount in one night. Beg/ borrow and cajole i will to achieve this.
