A Big Thank You—Our Crowdfunding Campaign has Ended!

On behalf of Shine On! Kids, please let me thank each and every one of you who donated during this amazing ReadyFor Campaign:

I truly feel the warmth and support of such a wonderful community of people who understand the power of our work and want to see it spread throughout Japan. The number of people (2,290!!) who donated to reach the total amount raised – 33,419,000 yen –  reminds us that we need everyone’s help and that even a small gift makes a difference.

We are so excited for the future. We are thrilled to be launching our program in the Kansai area soon and are confident that in the next few years, our dogs will be working in more and more children’s hospitals throughout the country! Of course, this will require funds to execute our Hospital Facility Dog Program® safely and professionally, but are so grateful to each of you for setting an example of what a community of supporters can achieve.

Thank you again for helping us to make our vision a reality.

Shine On!
