I run a cat sanctuary in south Texas, and I started crying when I read the part about taking care of animals. I am one of MANY who do this, and I can tell you that it's been a hard year. Most of us down here don't have much time to complain because there is so much work to be done.

Cat food and meds have not only shot through the roof in price, but there have been avenues of getting things we need that have been closed off because of the tariffs, etc.

This post is indeed inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

I am truly sorry that I don't have enough leisure time today to answer each one of you individually. So I will do as I have done before--I will give a rec to each message as I read them.

You all help lift me up and I am profoundly grateful.

That’s such a worthwhile message. I am grateful to all the folks who show up and add their goodness to the store the world so sorely needs.
