| ATTN: Amazon Shoppers! Do you know that a portion of your purchases on Amazon can go to charity without it costing you anything? Of course, I will encourage you to choose Yorkie Haven Rescue ; but even if you don't choose YHR, please think about using the following link when you shop on Amazon to help the charitable organization of your choice. Don't let this money be left unused!!! Here is the link: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/65-1278342 And, here is some information about this program: About AmazonSmile What is AmazonSmile? AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. The difference is that when customers shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers. What are the eligibility requirements for charitable organizations to participate? Organizations must be registered and in good standing with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) to be eligible to participate. Organizations must be public charitable organizations (not private foundations) and may not be supporting organizations, unless identified specifically as a Type I, Type II, or functionally integrated Type III supporting organization. Eligible charitable organizations must also be located in one of the 50 U.S. states or the District of Columbia. Organizations that engage in, support, encourage, or promote intolerance, hate, terrorism, violence, money laundering, or other illegal activities are not eligible to participate. Amazon relies on the US Office of Foreign Asset Compliance and the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which registered charities fall into these groups. Charitable organizations must also adhere to the AmazonSmile Participation Agreement to maintain eligibility. Charitable organizations may choose not to participate in AmazonSmile at any time. Although we aim to include only charitable organizations that are in good standing and do not engage in any of the activities described above, we cannot guarantee the good standing and/or conduct of any charitable organization. For complete details, see the AmazonSmile Participation Agreement. How does AmazonSmile work? When first visiting AmazonSmile, customers are prompted to select a charitable organization from almost one million eligible organizations. In order to browse or shop at AmazonSmile, customers must first select a charitable organization. For eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer’s selected charitable organization. Is there any cost to charitable organizations or to customers? No. There is no cost to charitable organizations or to AmazonSmile customers. The shopping experience is identical to Amazon.com with the added benefit that the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate to the charitable organizations selected by customers. Do you charge any administrative fees or take any deduction from the donation amount? No. Charities must register to receive donations and have a valid bank account to which we can route donations, but there is no charge to participate and we do not deduct any fees from the donation amount.

| Trust me, you are not alone! You really can save a lot of money. I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S4 ... I was at the Verizon Wireless store and they wanted $299 for it .. my son checked Amazon while were there and found it for $50!!! Now, that was a score!

| Thank you so much everyone!! With our other Amazon link we get monthly checks...this one will be quarterly. I think it will end up being more popular and also will get more money. Will let you all know how it goes when we get the first payment!
