Dear friends,
As Giving Tuesday approaches tomorrow, I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to our community, and that includes you. We truly couldn’t do any of the work we do without you; you make it possible.
This time of year always holds mixed emotions for me, and I know it may for many of you too. There is sadness remembering BUBs return to space, but there is also so much hope.
I am continually in awe of the kindness and change that BUB and the community she inspired continue to create. If one tiny space cat can create such profound change in the lives of so many, I just know there’s so much we can continue to do together. Thank you, for being here.
At Lil BUB’s Big FUND, we believe in something profound: that the unconditional love of a pet can transform a life. For people facing extraordinary challenges, the bond with a special needs pet can offer a sense of home, safety, and hope—a light in the darkness.
Every day, we hear stories of how these connections change lives:
- A special needs cat who, despite their challenges, becomes a steadfast companion for someone navigating grief and isolation.
- A dog who offers unconditional love to a person overcoming homelessness, giving them the courage to keep going.
- A resilient pet who teaches their family the beauty of perseverance, showing them that life is worth fighting for.
When we protect these bonds, we protect something truly life-changing. Special needs pets don’t just enrich the lives of the people who love them; they offer safety, unconditional love, and a reminder that we all deserve a sense of belonging.
This Giving Tuesday, your support helps us protect and nurture these transformative connections, ensuring that every family—no matter how different or unconventional—has the opportunity to experience the healing power of unconditional love.
Together, we can protect what matters most: the bonds that change lives.
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing our stories of success, made possible by you, so stay tuned for some heartwarming stories, photos and videos.
In endless gratitude,
Stacy and the Lil BUB Family
