Business : Good things come in threes!

They say good things come in threes.They also say good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don't give up.At Better Together, we know both of these statements are inherently true.Over the last two weeks, we have been blessed, not once, not twice, but three times. Our first blessing came when we were contacted about a matching funds opportunity up to $3,000. We had to read the message multiple times to believe it was real and just when we fully digested it, we were contacted by a second donor. Without any knowledge of the first, this individual also offered a matching donation - this time up to $2,000. After taking a few days to understand the magnitude of what had been offered to us, we began planning the fundraiser when a third and final donor contacted us, also unaware of our other two messages. Their message? "Call me. ASAP." Their offer? An anonymous $1,000 matching funds opportunity.Three donors. $6,000. All eligible to be matched. All for Better Together.We've tried to understand what we've done to earn such generous gifts, but we've realized that we haven't earned it - our cats have.Never have we had a cat that hasn't deserved this opportunity. They are the reason we scoop boxes, sort soda cans and scrub the floor. They are the reason we lose sleep, overcommit ourselves and skip other activities. But they are also the reason we believe in miracles & love at first sight, why we never give up and why we will never quit. They are our passion, our motivation and our inspiration each and every day.So for them, will you help us start our biggest campaign yet? Over the next 20 days, we'll share with you some of the untold stories of our rescue cats and messages from our volunteers explaining why they are so passionate about what we do. And, on August 26th, every dollar that has been raised will be matched. Dollar for dollar up to $6,000.We know what we're asking and we know it's a lot. But we also know we have the best supporters of any rescue and that we can do this. We promise that your generous gifts will be put to good use. Better Together is a 501©3, 100% volunteer no-kill animal rescue. This means that not a single dollar is paid to any volunteer for our time or mileage.We asked our donors why they've selected us and as one so perfectly put, "…because you encounter a lot of expenses and need the support, so I am happy to do it." While another encouraged us with our parting message, "we're in the midst of the Olympics…let's go for the gold!"Donations can be made:-on this post-on our website, www.BetterTogetherRescue.org-via Venmo: BetterTogetherRescue (last 4 -1303)-mailed: 211 West 4th Street, Vinton, IA 52349Any individual or business needing a receipt can email their request to Adopt@BetterTogetherRescue.org and a receipt will be emailed to you.Thank you isn't adequate, but thank you, to our 3 donors and all of our supporters that will help us reach our goal.
