We wish to apologize for the delay since our last blog. Amazon CARES has made incredible progress during 2012, and we want our work to continue long past 2013. However, financially, like many charities, we are suffering greatly. I am sad to state that for the first time we will not be printing an Annual Calendar. This keepsake had always doubled as a form of an Annual Report for CARES. Despite Sponsorship money to pay for the actual printing, we had to measure reality vs. the costs and reality won. Amazon CARES, it seems, is always hanging by a thread. I can assure supporters that our costs are low. I do not earn a salary and 90 cents of every $1.00 donated goes directly to our animal and human welfare projects. This year, due to the destruction of our jungle shelter facilities due to flooding and the resulting influx of abandoned animals, we utilized all our resources.
