Are You Ready? Living in South Florida brings us many benefits and things to enjoy, especially the weather. That weather has the potential to be very threatening six months out of the year during hurricane season.

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. And after clicking to help feed an animal, scroll down to The Breast Cancer Site and click on that to help someone get a mammogram!
