Apparently, I was the missing piece of their puzzle. Asking for this was something the other volunteers had trouble doing. In a grass roots organization with no committed funding, we need to get things for free or discounted. Since I will ask for anything-and it never hurts to ask-it made sense that I jump in and help get them much needed funding. No cats come with me, despite how many I want to take in and snuggle!! My respiratory system will not let me. As my dog allergies are not as severe, if I volunteered at a dog shelter, I know I would bring home every single small dog under 25 pounds. With my extreme cat allergies and my love to network, I volunteered to be their fundraising director-something they unanimously approved. The few volunteers that they had were busy doing all of the shelter work.
That one small chocolate step led to a larger understanding of this struggling non-profit run solely by volunteers with no funding besides what people donate-with very few events scheduled to donate at. I would sell it for them since it was easy and I was buying it for myself, too. My volunteering with Orphan Angels Cat Sanctuary and Adoption Center at 5439 West Lake Rd started not from just a love of cats, but a love of Daffin’s chocolate.
