But Now I'm Found

09/28/2015

Dear Friends, I haven't posted on this page since the death of our son in July. October 21st will be three months and I'm still not quite ready to return just yet as my creativity and focus has waned. And God knows I struggle to stay focused on a good day. I'm planning to reopen the Etsy shop in November with some unique new items.

I started the shop to raise money for a sweet rescue I Once Was Lost Animal Advocacy. Our son loved Dixie, the dog we adopted from here, we were amazed at the number of photos he had of her on his phone. He loved volunteering to help Adette and always showed up at events for support. The wall photo on my personal FB page is from a Valentine fundraiser in 2014, it's the only picture I've used. Even in his death we knew he would like to help which is why we asked for donations in lieu of flowers to the rescue group and the The Texas Military Forces Museum where he was a WWII re-enactor. We'll have totals soon from both organizations but from what I know so far I'm proud to say we have some very generous friends.

Thank you for the kind words and prayers we've received during this painful time. We're grateful for all your support. Until next time, hug your babies every chance you get.

Love & Blessings, Tracie 💙

For the month of May I'm donating 40% of every sale from my Etsy shop to I Once Was Lost Animal Advocacy to help offset the extra expenses. More fun stuff added to the shop soon. You can click the Shop Now icon at the top of this page or go to https://www.etsy.com/shop/ButNowImFound

No Fooling!! 30% of every sale from But Now I'm Found goes directly to local animal rescues. April's beneficiary is Hardy-Hayes Rescue for medical funds.

Hardy-Hayes Refuge manages the medical funds to help sick and injured dogs that come into the Bastrop County Animal Shelter. The BCAS has no medical coverage in their budget so these funds are crucial in providing vet care to shelter dogs.

We recently adopted Jovie Grace, formerly Grace, from Bastrop County Animal Shelter. Dixie loves her little sister and this is a small way to thank them for all they do for the homeless and wounded. I once was lost But Now I'm Found.

Medical dog foster humans with the primary goal of getting them healthy and to forever loving homes.

The first quarter is over and $23.00 was raised on three sales!
I Once Was Lost Animal Advocacy - $15.50
Katie's Roadside Rescue - $7.50

January went to IOWL. I doubled the donation in honor of the first sale made for a very special person. Jason Palmer bought a bracelet for his lovely wife, and Dixie's rescuer, Kara Palmer.
February was split between IOWL and KRR.

THANK YOU ladies for all you do
