You don’t need to donate money in order to help
We understand that not everyone has disposable funds in order to donate to charities but there are other ways you can help such as volunteering at your local shelter, posting links to charities and shelters advertising their donations page, or you could donate toys or food to your local shelters.
There are so many ways to help and so many of them are simple yet many of us tend to overcomplicate the idea of helping.
