We are accustomed to hearing about anonymous gifts to already thriving entities – St. Jude’s Hospital, Antioch College, the Tea Party. Once in awhile, though, “anonymous” has the thrill of a halo and clanging bell and ride on a dolphin all at once.
Last week, a staff member of the Pasadena Humane Society in California fetched their donation box set up to collect coins and occasional dollars, but by golly, someone had stuffed $20 bills in it. Four hundred of them. $8000.
An unknown person had stockpiled twenty-dollar bills for who knows how long, and put them in a collection box to help the animal shelter continue treating dogs and cats as sentient beings – providing food, shelter, medical assistance, and a new address to animals who work as hard as any humans just to make humans happy.
