Yeah its hit a wall for sure, its hard to try and create a reach without feeling like a scammer or beggar. You did a huge boost though and have certainly done your share so cant ask much more of you (but will ask if you wouldnt mind bumping the fundraiser again in a week or two 😉)

@RanchDoodles Bummer I’m sad that it seems to have stalled out 😿 You guys are working so hard to get back on your feet as well, I really admire it! Hope that getting the electric install goes well!

After a great start and some awesome help from @ThurstonWaffles our fundraising has slowed down dramatically, we are so busy trying to put the rescue back together even finding time to fundraise is tough. If anyone sees this please can you share and try to promote it if you can. Doodle's Ranch is facing a devastating loss after flooding.

@ThurstonWaffles It really does never end, bless you for stepping up.

It literally never stops you guys! That’s why every little thing we can do to help counts. This isn’t a random email I got. This is from the rescue where I got my previous cat Nanners. This is my local rescue that’s barely getting by. One of thousands. We need to do MORE and never stop looking for opportunities to help.

Hey everybody! I’m back for my once weekly Wednesday CA post, and today I’d like to talk about having a service mindset. It’s important because this is at the heart of the TWCP, and it’s not exactly a term you hear thrown around very much in crypto. If you’re involved in animal rescue you may have heard it before though. A service mindset is approaching situations with a main focus on helping, supporting, and creating value for others, rather than just serving your own interests. The best way to describe it is it’s like orienting yourself in alignment with the needs of people in your community. What that means in practice is seeing opportunities to meet the needs of others, solve problems, and help other people have better or smoother or easier experiences: whatever that means to you. Ultimately, this is how we are going to find opportunities to help people and animals outside of just giving them money when it’s available. Keeping all that in mind, here are some characteristics I want to eventually become synonymous with lovely people all around the world who become involved in this project: - Empathy and attentiveness. We should try to be understanding of what others need, even if they don’t directly say it. - Problem-solving. We should look for solutions rather than excuses. - Respect and humility. We should treat people (and animals as well) with dignity regardless of their social status, birthplace, or circumstances. - Proactivity. We should anticipate needs, issues or niches we can fill before they arise. And last, is consistency. I’m going to set this point apart because I want to highlight it for myself! Mama Waffles and I have been going through some hard family stuff this past week. It sucks when you are doing well, meeting your goals, and cruising along: then life stuff happens, as it does! It’s not an uncommon experience for us, and I’m sure for many of you: having to deal with difficult people in our lives. Throughout my life I’ve learned that often the people closest to you will also be the ones who throw extra obstacles your way. But that’s life, and that’s why consistency is important. That’s why I want to make a special note on this one. ❤️ Consistency. We should provide reliable support, not just one-off gestures. In the past, this is something I’ve struggled with when life or the unexpected crashes the party. That’s partly why I’m talking about it openly because this project is just too damn important to me to let anybody/anything (including myself) fuck it up. 😺 But yeah. A service mindset! Think of it as shifting from thinking “What do I get out of this?” to “How can I make this better for someone else?” That being said, here are our CAs for the week. Hope you guys are having a good one. ❤️ PumpFun CA: 9pnDLVWmWyccy6HhZKcCiwrQEBX1UHQ5ikKPo5xrpump BAGS CA: FWmo8tr7ChpayuErxZeQ96twwTFYU7HA2E6J5ts8BAGS Our slogan, I just decided on it yesterday: Bring The Light  🔦

Took Kitty Boy to the vet first thing this morning Dr Singh compared march’s xray to today and it looks like he had a mass. When we did the echo we did not do an ultrasound. I knew our time was limited once the echo revealed he had heart failure. But I was hoping for more time Our vet is taking donations if anyone would like to help with his bill.

@ThurstonWaffles Everyone should listen to this, bless you Matt and your menagerie.

Friday Grab Bag! How can I trust a GoFundMe? Cat Hotspots? Mau’s got an ouchie 😿

Matt @ThurstonWaffles is a saint, and yes, scams and scammers haunt animal rescue and fundraisers like vultures, they pray on peoples kindness and see compassion for animals as weakness. Everyone should do their due diligence, there are so many people in need out there and scammers dont deserve a cent. I know he did his due diligence on us and donated exceptionally generously in our time of need but I just wanted to add this little news article we were featured in as "extra" to show to anyone who comes across Doodles that we are genuine. tmj4.com/news/waukesha-…

We are beyond grateful to the amazing team at @Chewy In the midst of such a difficult time after the flood, they reached out with kindness and generosity that truly lifted our spirits. Not only did they gift us $300 worth of much-needed items from our wishlist, but they also surprised us with a beautiful bouquet of roses. Even the box brought some joy (our furry friends certainly think it’s the best part!).

Doodles Ranch & Sanctuary is a small 501c charity which caters to looking after special needs cats which is a task enough in itself. Recently Doodles suffered a devastating calamity, a massive storm flooded the rescue which resulted in the tragic deaths of two of Doodles residents and destroyed their living area. Rescue never sleeps, we are beyond heartbroken, demoralized and yes, depressed but on we must go for our other residents. Its expensive enough to rescue animals, it goes up a notch when they have special needs and medical conditions so a disaster like this is taxing us beyond breaking point, we are running a gofundme which along with other donation options you will find here linktr.ee/doodlesranch Fortunately there are people out there who are a true light in the darkness, those who go above and beyond to help people they know almost nothing about because they believe in the cause and one of those is @ThurstonWaffles caretaker or Matt as some of you, and now we, have come to know him who, through some crypto trading (which in all honesty, we know nothing about how it works) has donated $2700!!! to our rebuild. Words cannot express our gratitude, every little counts and this was huge, Matt, if you reading this, we appreciate you so much, not only for your donation but your help in promoting the fundraiser. You are a true friend of Doodles Ranch & Sanctuary.

@ThurstonWaffles You kindness and generosity is amazing, every penny helps but you have gone above and beyond. Thank you so much!

So I’m just quick filling everybody in! I’ve verified beyond a doubt that I’m in contact with Jen, who heads Doodles, the flooded shelter. We are gonna try first to get her the money through PayPal! So later tonight, I will transfer it from my public wallet into the PayPal, and then to her. We’ll see if we are able to get it done that way without any problems! After the money is transferred, I’ll provide you with verification Monday evening that the transfers have taken place, along with the supporting evidence she provided me that she’s the right person. (She is 💯✌️) She’s also agreed to comment on the post with her social media to validate that the money changed hands! In the future, I think this would be an ideal approach to continue! Verification of recipients is something we should continue to streamline and improve on over time. It’s gonna be a huge part of earning and keeping trust! Remember: we never ask rescue workers to perform gratitude, it’s about getting resources to the people who need it while imposing minimal burden on already emotionally taxed front-liners! We only ask for a response as a form of verification (although gratitude is always welcome, of course!) I’ll provide the transaction receipts and supporting evidence Monday evening as long as everything goes as planned!

@ThurstonWaffles @FounderBenjamin @9Syht let us know how we can help by sharing this?

@FounderBenjamin @9Syht Thanks this is a great idea! I’m thinking about doing a space on Wednesdays to talk to everybody!

I did a thing! It’s going to net us some money for Doodles! But it takes a little explaining so you’re gonna have to watch a short video to understand it better! The correct token that provides royalties we will be passing along to Doodles is: FWmo8tr7ChpayuErxZeQ96twwTFYU7HA2E6J5ts8BAGS

@ThurstonWaffles @9Syht wow you all are AMAZING! so many ways to help we had no idea. Thank you all for your help!and teaching us along the way!

Hey, I did it! Thank you again for pointing me to an urgent need. However, far this goes you have full credit for the help we are able to provide ❤️❤️❤️ you are amazing and what you do for your cats is incredible @9Syht

@TammyNMinn @ThurstonWaffles thank you!

@ThurstonWaffles I donated directly on their website.

This is absolutely tragic! A sudden flood in their rescue killed two cats less than a week ago and their GoFundMe is not getting any attention. Let’s do something about this! Peter Pan (lil orange guy pictured below) had Cerebral Hypoplasia. He was living happily at Doodle's since 2016. Also killed in the incident was Buddy, a new arrival in his quarantine phase. I’m going to go to great lengths below this tweet to provide you with supporting evidence of need, including everything you could possibly want to know if you feel you can help. This GoFundMe is a real one and I think we should close it out! I will also be donating myself. As a matter of course when I signal boost Go-Fund me’s I will also donate my own money and provide receipts (nested tweet). It would genuinely mean a lot to me if we could help them! They are Midwesterners like I am, and it would mean a lot to do something to genuinely help. gofund.me/f22603fd (Link is verifiable on their Facebook) Amazon Wishlist (ditto): amazon.com/registries/gl/…
