Hello Everyone :)

Someone who is a VERY BIG part of Monkey, who has helped with the nit and grit of putting together the past 8 Play Festivals, and is currently helping Ollie with the energy and logistics it requires to put together the next Play Festival - Shane O'Shields - can use our positive energy and any available assistance from our community.

Unfortunately last night, Shane's little cat friend, his house's rescue kitten, Tilly, got very sick and she had to be taken to the Vet ER :( Shane's house has already paid $2,500 for the bills so far, but Tilly needs more treatment today and their available funds/credit have almost run out...

It would be really sad if the kitty wasn't able to get the treatment for the rest of the day today and didn't make it...

Please consider helping out Tilly the little kitty, Shane, and Shane's house by donating today to:

Our collective help could make a very big difference. Anything helps. Thank you all very much for the consideration.
