COLLEEN BANDCAMP ANIMAL RESCUE INITIATIVE: A LOOK BACK AT WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN 8 MONTHS + HELPING @sosgalgos THIS MONTH
It is getting clearer to me each day that the meaning of life is love and empathy in action, and anything we do every day to get to that place is time and energy well-spent: I am so grateful that I started this project last year, and even though it’s a drop in the ocean of helping to relieve animal suffering, I am so glad you have helped me create that drop, and to celebrate it I made a video showing the 9 organizations that I gave 1400$ over the course of the past 8 months.
I also cannot believe how my song “Conditional”, which was originally about making one’s happiness conditional upon getting something or someone, sounds like it could have been written from the point of view of an animal waiting for help and love. I also love that this was originally a commission from Moog to betatest their Moogerfooger plugins: who would have known it would end up being a catalyst for a donation project like this???

Today is Bandcamp Friday, the day that Bandcamp does not charge its 15% commission, therefore an ideal day for all charity projects. This month we are helping galgos (Spanish greyhounds) by donating to Barcelona-based organization @sosgalgos . Yesterday was World Greyhound Day and sadly here in  Spain, this is the month in which galgos and other hunting dogs get abandoned en masse because it is the end of the hunting season.. 

There are now 3 Colleen songs or EPs you can buy on top of “Conditional”: A Flame Variations, Mort aux Vaches and “Organ song 1995”. They are clearly indicated by FOR ANIMAL SHELTERS after the title.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
All the organizations are tagged in the video on Instagram if you wish to make a direct donation. 🌞 They are: Peluditos con amor, Columbia; Fundación Trifolium, Spain; from Ukraine: Sirius Shelter, Animal Rescue Kharkiv, Shelter Friend Ukraine, Gostomel Shelter and from Germany helping Ukraine: Petners Berlin; from Spain: Fundación Benjamín Mehnert, Huella de Jaen
