Angel’s Gate is an extraordinary facility dedicated to caring for physically challenged, abused and abandoned animals. I have posted about it several times, because I respect the work they do. Currently, they need your help to continue caring for the special animals they take in. Every day they are spending $200 on food, and the pets also require veterinary care, which is another costly expense. Angel’s Gate Founder Susan Marino is a compassionate person who has given helpless animals a second chance. Please visit their website and find a way that you can contribute to this worthy cause. You can mail them supplies from their Wish List or volunteer your time to build housing for the animals. Also, monthly monetary donations are appreciated.

There have been articles online and posts on AOL’s homepage about gas prices rising again. Just when I started enjoying filling my car up for $20 it’s going to go back up. However, combating this issue isn’t too difficult, especially if you have friends and family members who make convenient carpooling buddies. Some city organizations have developed carpooling programs such as the one for Northeast Ohio called OhioRideshare. With their online setup, you can find a carpooling partner within a few minutes. So if you want to decrease your gas expenses to work, this is an easy way to do it. For more information about this program, read Carpooling, Just a Click Away.
