So after 4 years of pouring my heart into creating BarkAID, lets to some evaluation. Ive created an amazing network of people all across the country with a common goal. Reached thousands of people cutting their hair and getting to know them if ever so briefly. Been fortunate enough to Cut hair in some of the most amazing salons in the country. Been inspired by many hair stylist and many many animal rescuers and so many others. So...... Whats been missing is that support we have been striving for. We have so many sideline supporters. BarkAID is unique and making history where no other organization has gone in trying to bring the awareness on a national level through such a grass roots effort. Several groups have wanted to be a part of what we have created. And who can blame them. A captive audience, thousands of people listening to What I have to say or sell... But they want only to be an endorsement not a sponsor and with that..... Only serves as a one sided affair. No money or support. I had to postpone the Tour this year do to lack of funds. For the exact reasons mentioned and it was no surprise how they all left scrambling and dropped BarkAID because they were so disappointed. Well, so sorry YOU were disappointed. Then again, you had nothing to lose. It was the thousands of people and thousands of homeless animals that lost this year. Just another lesson when Corporate meets compassion... Corporate wins every time. Some think Im naive, dreamer. But if thats what you call someone who has accomplished more than most, seen more than most and creates things out of nothing.... Im ok with that. BarkAIDs 50 States Tour will be back next year better than ever.
