Hey guys, I just got an email from Shira's foster mom...First, I had put in an adoption application and so had my mother with UYR thinking she was fostered in Western Washington since that is what the add said. I have let them know that we would personally pick her up in Colorado via car so she did not have to fly and would be happy to provide extra references + photos and videos of our homes! I hope this will work and we get to bring her home!!!
They have only recieved $440 + another 25 I just donated, but that I am afraid is all I can do until next week...Please YTers that have extra give even $5 to this little girl.
Anyway here is the email I recieved...
Dear Alison,
What a sweet thing to do! Thank you so very much for genuine concern for Shira. She really is a special little girl and needs lots of TLC. She had her surgery but isn't able to come home for a couple of days because she will not eat.
I'm very worried about her. When she came to us she wouldn't eat but she attached herself to my daughter and would eat from her hand. She's so tiny and fragile that she just can't afford to lose any more weight.
Of course you can send her something. Her favorite treat is that Kong Peanut Butter spray in a can. She likes really small toys that squeak, she can't handle balls and big toys. I'm sure she'd love to get mail! If you'd like to send her a treat you can send it to Shira, 634 Meadowood Street, Grand Junction, CO 81504.
Here are kisses from Shira just for you!!!! |
