Final update: Thanks to your collective generosity, we raised $3,637 in the Holiday Party Challenge Grant.  That amount will pay for about 3 days' veterinary expenses at our now-current rate.  Our birds and our volunteers appreciate your contributions!

The Mickaboo Holiday Party Challenge Grant has begun!

Matching funds have run out!  THANKS to YOUR incredible generosity, and the matching funds, we have raised a total of $17K. That's about half of an average month's vet bills - woohoo!  

Our volunteers and birds are incredibly thankful to you.   We hope to see many of you at our upcoming Holiday Party in Alameda on December 3!

Final update:

THANK YOU to the many generous supporters who collectively raised a grand total of ~$16,600 today, inclusive of matching funds from both GlobalGiving and the Pixie & Bella Challenge Grant.  That amount will pay for a tad less than two weeks of veterinary expenses to help our many birds become physically fit for permanent adoption.

9 pm - final update:

The matching gift events for today have ended.  THANK YOU for your collective generosity!  Together you raised $17K - exceeding our $15K goal.

We are hoping to hear tomorrow from Jasmine's vet as to whether she can leave the hospital.  We will update you here.  

THANK YOU for enabling Mickaboo to fulfill our rescue mission - we truly couldn't do so without your support.

We ended up raising about $7k from 70 generous people like you!  That sum will allow us to pay for roughly a week's worth of much-needed veterinary assistance for our flock of rescued birds. THANK YOU for participating and supporting our mission!

Thanks to the support of over SIXTY of you, we have raised about $6.5K toward our $15K fundraising goal.  The giving event ends at MIDNIGHT, so there's still time to join the giving party!

Thanks to the support of over 50 of you, we have raised almost $6K toward our $15K fundraising goal.  Your funds pay for urgent medical care for birds like Jasmine, a feisty 36+-year-young Blue and Gold Macaw who came to us about a year ago with several old, untreated fractures in her legs and wings, and Papillomatosis.   She can now hold her wings over her head - and has been able to fly! Jasmine has brought much joy to her foster parent's home. 

Thanks to the support of almost 40 people, we have raised over $3K toward our $15K fundraising goal.  All of our birds, including a beautiful Mallee Ringneck (representative picture shown here) rescued from a household where the elderly owner was unable to care for their pet any longer, appreciate your generosity!

Thanks to the support of many many generous people, we have raised almost $3K toward our $15K fundraising goal.  All of our birds (including these four, recently rescued from a household where the owner had passed away) are very appreciative that so many people care about them!
