Sunrise Treatment and Recovery Centre has been so impressed with and grateful for the compassionate services and opportunities provided by Reborn Rescue. Our residents have had opportunities to volunteer and engage in activities with Reborn Rescue, have benefited from their support caring for a dog during treatment, have enjoyed presentations and inspiration hearing from people that have found success and passion in recovery. Reborn Rescue needs community support as Carlos prepares for his surgery. This family gives back constantly to our community. Time for the community to support them in their time of need.
❤️A Heartfelt Ask From Our Rescue❤️
❤️You may have met this wonderful guy at the rescue, talked to him over the phone or saw him at one of our events. This rescue would not exist without him. He put in hours of work building my dream from scratch. He still continues to help whenever he can at the rescue, I am so grateful.
❤️STORY TIME❤️
My husband Carlos is preparing for a kidney transplant scheduled for January 14th at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. This journey has temporarily changed everything for our family and for the rescue. While I normally cover a large portion of our operating expenses through low-cost grooming, I’m unable to keep up at the pace I normally do. Grooming is how I support the rescue. I groom almost every day, often working up to 10-hour days without taking a paycheck, just to keep our doors open. Because of this pause, we are facing a gap.
❤️We need $4,000 to carry us through the end of February to help cover:
• Rent and utilities
• Staff support
• Insurance
• Veterinary care for our rescues including spays and neuters
❤️RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE!❤️
What makes this story even more powerful is why this mission matters so deeply to us. Recovery works. People do recover. I am in recovery. My husband Carlos is in recovery. And in a moment that still feels surreal, two individuals in recovery were matched for a life-saving kidney transplant. Our dear friend Bryce Fox, who is also in recovery, was matched as Carlos’s living donor. This is living proof that when people are given support, compassion, and hope, miracles happen.
❤️Reborn Rescue was created to be a place where people and animals heal together. It’s more than a rescue, it’s a lifeline for dogs who have nowhere else to go and for individuals in recovery who need compassion, purpose, and support during some of the hardest chapters of their lives.
❤️Right now, we need help to keep that mission alive. This rescue exists because we believe no one is beyond saving for both people and animals. We cannot do this alone.
❤️If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, you are helping our rescues, supporting people in recovery, and ensuring this mission continues during one of the most challenging seasons we’ve faced.
⭐If you can’t donate, sharing this post means more than you know.⭐
We will not survive without our community, and we are endlessly grateful for every ounce of support, love, and encouragement you give us.
❤️From the bottom of our hearts, Shannon and Carlos Vivero❤️
❤️Thank you for believing in Reborn Rescue
