Today started out VERY well! I got a call here at work from a woman from 97.3 the Wave (a local radio station) stating that I had been nominated as an unsung hero for my fostering work and that she had some things to drop off to me! Come to find out, Jill, a friend and coworker, sent in an AMAZINGLY sweet email nominating me. She read the email on air and I was almost in tears! I won a coffee travel mug and some free coffee, as well as getting a really nice certificate.
Here is a big reason why I do what I do however. I just got a call from one of the Cat Rescue Maritimes directors stating that they received a desperate call from a woman in an abusive relationship. Apparently this woman has a cat with kittens who are 2 weeks old and her boyfriend is threatening to kill them.
The director was in tears, so I called the woman right away who literally broke down when I said I would come and take mama & babes right after work. So I'm just wishing time would fast forward and when I'm done in less that 2 hours, we'll go and get them. The woman lives 2 minutes away from work. My heart aches for HER though. It's one thing to help the cat & kittens, but I really hope the WOMAN is able to get some help as well.
