CASE FOR SUPPORT

WHAT IF NO ONE EVER HAD TO CHOOSE? What if no one ever had to choose between feeding their family and saving their pet? What if every injured, abused, or abandoned animal had not just a second chance—but a first real one ? Every day in our community, families face heartbreaking decisions. Every day, animals suffer in silence. And every day, Angels of Assisi steps in—because compassion should never depend on income, circumstance, or luck. But the need is growing. Families are struggling. Veterinary costs are rising. And the demand for accessible, life-saving care has never been greater. This campaign is our promise—to animals, families, and our community—that help will always be here. That no animal will be turned away. That compassion will not be fragile or fleeting, but strong and enduring. Together, we can provide a lifeline—for this generation and for generations to come. A campaign to sustain, expand, and future-proof compassionate care for animals and the people who love them. lifeline A FOR GENERATIONS

Lives changed BECAUSE OF YOU

Behind every statistic is a STORY . A FAMILY kept together. A LIFE restored. A FUTURE rewritten.

STATISTICS (LIVES SAVED, FAMILIES HELPED, ETC.)

...Even in his toughest moments, he gave kisses and wagged his tail. With plenty of good food, medical care and love, this sweet boy made a full recovery! Despite everything he had been through, he was always nothing but gentle, affectionate, and full of gratitude for every treat and belly rub he gets. After a few months of recovery in a foster home, he was adopted by the foster family’s friends.

The Nee d IS REAL—AND RISING The demand for our services continues to grow— driven by rising veterinary costs, economic hardship, and limited access to affordable care. Today, too many families face impossible choices. Too many animals go without treatment. And without sustainable funding, the most vulnerable— both human and animal—risk being left behind.

KEY CHALLENGES WE FACE:

Rising demand for services

Underserved communities with limited access to care

Additional staffing

Uncertain funding streams

Increased cruelty and emergency cases
