The holiday season is always difficult for those in need, but 2020 has proved uniquely challenging. Social fundraisers, including the one Island Born had planned, have been cancelled and those who stood to benefit have in many cases not received the support they need and deserve. This applies as equally to animals as it does to humans. We have chosen one amazing non-profit organization to help this year: Broken Promises Rescue. Broken Promises Rescue is a volunteer-run, non-profit animal rescue organization in Victoria, B.C. They are an "all species" (even farm animals) rescue who have been doing rescue work for over 20 years.
We would like to acknowledge that many businesses or individuals who would otherwise donate are closed or are out of a work, and we at Island Born are incredibly humbled and grateful to be in a position to help in our small way this holiday season. We believe that this year's challenges present a unique opportunity for businesses who have been less affected to reach out and lend a hand if they are able, and have been inspired to see others rise to the occasion.
We hold excitement and hope for all of us in 2021, and from our home to yours, we wish everyone joy and warmth this holiday season.
