A Little Contest, For A Big Reason ❤

This is my first contest, and I do it for a big reason. The first thing I have to tell you is that if you do not love animals, do not read this. And the second, is that I do not have much to offer as a reward, but maybe some are encouraged and among all we can help even a little. I'm going to be totally honest with you, I do this in a desperate way, it's one of many things that I came up with to continue to raise funds, because the reason, in summary, is this: Those who already know me, know that I lived in Venezuela for many years, and I think there is no need to talk about the current situation in that country as it is not a secret for anyone. I, like a million other people. we were forced to abandon our whole life and seek other horizons where we could achieve a future. We are the thousands and thousands who had to make decisions that we thought we would never have to make, the saddest, the most desperate, the most difficult decisions.

For me, it's been 5 months, the longest time I've separated from my two dogs, after so many years of being together. Some will say, "Oh please, so much for a few dogs?", And my answer is Yes, because they really are the most important thing I have, they are my family, they have been for many years. I did not leave the country until I could leave everything ready so that they could send me to my dogs after my arrival, after stabilizing me where I am now, back in my native country, Argentina. But the truth is that everything has become more difficult than I thought and time has lengthened.

A few days ago I learned that my dogs were left in a courtyard of an abandoned house, and that a neighbor throws food at them, and I have not been able to sleep since. It is difficult to explain what I feel, I know that for some it will be almost impossible to understand and may seem even ridiculous, but I really feel desperate. I can not stop thinking about them and I have an uncertainty that is killing me.

That's why I do this contest, because I need to continue raising funds to bring my dogs with me as soon as possible. It's the first time I do this, so sorry if I'm wrong about anything, let me know. So I'll make the rules simple:

  • It is about telling me the history of your dogs and you can add a photo of them, and some photo of them with you. Can be in english or spanish.

  • You can do the story short or long, it's up to you.

  • Use the title "I Participate in A Little Contest, For A Big Reason with my dog: (name of your dog)". There is no entry limit.

  • Use the tag: #littlecontest #animals #dogs #contest, and the other can be what you want.

  • Please, make Upvote and Resteem to this post.

  • The limit to participate is until Wednesday 11/10 at night.

Rewards:

- 1st Place: 5 SBD.

- 2nd place: 3 SBD.

- 3rd place: 1 SBD.

(Sorry but for now I do not have more to offer as a rewards, but your participation is a great support and I thank you with all my heart)

I share with you some photos of my two loves, who would be helping with your participation...

So, this is a little contest for a big reason, because even the littlest help can make a difference!

Thanks for taking the time to appreciate this

See you! ❤

Hi @yiyi.maiola, I hope to write you a post or two, for your competiton to help draw attention to your cause, and I will give you all the liquid earnings from same to help
I have sent you a little help anyway, wish I could do more.

What is the difficulty to get them back?
How much money do you need to raise?

I just upvoted my own comment, to get it to the top, in the hope of inspiring others to help too.
And so you can see it and answer my questions.

I have no words to express my gratitude. Thank you very much with all my heart!

Because of the situation in Venezuela, there are few airlines that go there, and there are less methods to bring them, and more expensive because there is only the option of air cargo for them. The transfer costs for each dog spend a thousand dollars, I know it is crazy, but I must try it anyway. I do not expect to make all the money by this way, but at this moment I have learned that any help counts even if it is small.

Again, really thank you very much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

is there a way to maybe talk with some organisations? Here in Europe there are groups of people that could perhaps organise to have someone take them in a car.

I realise it may well be a very long way, but that is a lot of money.
Maybe you could hire a car and do it in a few days.
I don't know enough to know what options you might have.

But there are sure to be options if you think hard about it.

Good luck.

Pa´ lante como el elefante!!! ❤

❤️ Intentándolo!

I wish there was something that I could do, I'm new here, I'm trying to learn this site. I am a veterinary assistant and absolutely love animals , and your fur babies are adorable , I'm going to follow you....hope you get them back! 💟
