Sometimes nature has a way to remind us of our insignificance.
Lisa is a wonderful woman living in Rio. Her life is dedicated to helping the dogs living in the city. She rescues, treats, fosters and rehomes unwanted and abused animals.
It’s a hard life, but its also filled with love and satisfaction.
Last week her life and the lives of hundreds of animals in her village took a brutal turn for the worst.
Torrential rains unchained the worst floods in the last decade. The entire region is destroyed, hundreds died, the Army has had to get involved to help restore the most basic infrastructure.
On top of the 30 to 40 dogs she usually hosts Lisa has opened her home to over 100 animals displaced by the floods. Many of them arrived to her place by her own foot, following their instinct in the search for protection.
We need to help Lisa. The Municipality has promised to help her but for now she is pretty much on her own. Only a bunch of friends are helping her caring for the rescued dogs.
They are in serious trouble.
I have promised her our community would help. To do so the Simba Fund has created a special Chip in where the funds collected will be transfered directly to Lisa’s account.
This is not something we usually do, but in this case I couldn’t see any other way to help her.
So, please, watch this video again and think of what Lisa is going through. At a time when the vast majority walks away with whatever they can get, Lisa stayed behind to help those who have noone else.
It’s our duty to help her…
Please, more than ever, contribute to the Simba fund today. Any amount will help, 5, 10, 50 USD… it’s the entire community effort that will provide relief to Lisa and the dogs of Rio.
Please contribute to the rescue of the dogs of Rio by contributing through this Chipin. We have set up a goal of 10.000 USD… surely must more will be needed but this will be a start… Thank you!
Actions speak louder than words, and this ladys actions tell us all we need to know x
Im sorry I dont have much if I did you could have much more but I have donated $40 to the cause.
Thank christ there are people like you on this planet Lisa
Much love & respect

Well… have watched the first video over and over and over again on TV. Did anyone ever help that dog the poor lady droped. ? Haved hoped to see somehow it got saved. Will contribute my small bit to help. Always wish it could be more.
Pat, our newscasts here said the dog that the woman dropped perished in that flood. She was clearly heartbroken. I can’t imagine making it that far, clinging to my beloved dog, only to have the raging waters rip her from my arms. My heart breaks for the woman, and for all the innocent animals who will suffer from this.

It was a Monday morning and my email inbox was boiling hot with people asking me to please help a cat whose four paws had somehow been amputated by some unknown criminal.
The poor cat was living on the streets, in a garden being fed by an “animal-lover”. He was in a terrible condition crawling on the floor and screaming for help.
We have called him Morgan. We found him yesterday limping in the parking lot trying to run away from a particularly nasty gang of three kids, two of them armed with stones, the third carrying a wooden stick with protruding rusty nails. Where did that kid found that weapon we do not know, but it is clear what he intended to do with it.
Today is a sad day for us. Today we have lost Kid… Kid was found in a terrible condition, a traffic accident, he was left on the side of the road for days. Knowing him as I do know I’m
