Dear iDonate members

I have been shocked to see the horrifying extent of this disaster. As more stories continue to come through, we become more aware of the toll it is taking on Haiti.

The world is beginning to respond to the disaster in Haiti, and people around the world are coming together to help in any way they can. The animal victims of this disaster will desperately need help too, and animal welfare groups are joining forces to come to their aid.

Together, the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) will be working on the ground to help the animals in Haiti. We have developed the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) to assist in the response efforts, and all animal welfare organizations are invited to join the ARCH and direct their financial support to the coalition.

Our teams will be working out of a mobile clinic which has been donated to us by the Antigua and Barbuda Humane Society. WSPA and IFAW have pledged funds to fully outfit this mobile clinic, and it will be shipped from Antigua to our member society, Sociedad Dominicana Para la Protección de Animales (SODOPRECA), in the Dominican Republic for them to drive across the border into Haiti.

In my experience, when people join together, amazing things can happen.

We're asking you to join us now and donate to help the animals of Haiti, and the thousands of other animals that will be affected by disasters to come.

Please donate now to help the animals in Haiti by going to : https://www.wspa.org.au/campaigns/tsunami/index.asp?ID=X0110W01&j=10296740&e=rosegibson@wspa.org.au&l=2094908_HTML&u=88134736&mid=88761&jb=0
