The Bridging Rainbows Foundation (set
up in September 2023, although we have been in service for the cause for more
than two decades) is a very tiny organization aimed at helping animals and
their humans, in fond memory of Butter, the rescued dog who is our forever
guiding light. Here's what we were able to do in the preceding year and we
welcome your support so that together we can do more in 2026.
