We were so happy to have been able to support VIDAS' work in Mexico this summer with donations from all around Colorado and large donations in Massachusetts and New York of sterile gloves!
It was a great year for sterile glove donations, since the regulations changed to recommend against powdered sterile gloves in the US. As happy as I am to have helped get hundreds and hundreds of boxes of them to organizations like VIDAS, ARK, and clinics around the world, I can't help but be sad about how many hundreds of thousands of boxes must have been thrown away. Next time you're at the hospital, dentist, or doctor's office, speak up! Ask if they have expired items or other samples they'll be throwing away, and then ask if you can donate them to an animal clinic in need. You can find one - or we can help you. On this one service trip alone, VIDAS sterilized 1565 dogs and cats in 6 days. I'm so thankful we got to play even a little part! You can check out their work here.
