Story
Last Christmas, Sunny ‘The Post Office Dog’ and his Hooman raised money for Margaret Green through sponsored walks and accepted donation from the public to buy the animals of the charity Christmas Prezzies.
Following the success of last years ‘Gift Drive’ they decided to do the same again this Christmas. Many walks were made in aid of this charity and others, spanning the country, The Highlands, Scotland and Wales.
Unfortunately, on Thursday 5/12/24, Weymouth Post Office was broken into in the early hours. The business was affected greatly, money, parcels, tablets and stamps were stolen. Charity boxes were snatched (one a British Heart Foundation box, which has been generously replaced by one of Sunny’s supporters and friends).
Not only was the town without a main post office for 48 hours, leaving vulnerable people without access to money, fuel etc, but the people who have contributed and benefited in the past (such as Weldmar, MIND, Sarcome etc) from his fundraising efforts have been left sad and disappointed in the actions of selfish people.
Sunny’s Christmas wish is to push on, to try and raise back the funds that were taken. The community are already rallying round, pushing back against soulless people who would steal from charities.
Donations of toys and treats are being accepted at Weymouth Post Office, to be delivered by Santa Paws on Christmas Eve, but this directs funding page has been set up to help Margaret Green directly.
All and any donations will be greatly received. Let’s dig deep and find that Christmas spirit in the act of giving.
Many thanks,
Sunny’s Hooman and Weymouth Post Office.
