Humane Society of the BVI receives $100K donation
Since 1975, the organization has offered a shelter to dogs, puppies, cats & kittens that have been abandoned, are unwanted and in some cases severely abused
In a Facebook post on Friday, May 24, 2024, the society said, “Thank you is simply not enough for this amazing donation which was left by the late Jason Helmbrecht who sadly passed away last year. A massive lover of four-legged furballs, despite being allergic.”
The check was presented by Jason's partner, Ms Tiffany Doyle to the Shelter Manager for the sum of $100,000.00.
The society added, “This donation has made a huge difference and Jason will always be in our thoughts and always be a part of the shelter.”
These funds have gone towards the new shelter built with the society expressing gratitude to both Tiffany and the family of Jason for the timely donation.

This is how incompetent our government is to not budget towards that cause.
Government has no facilities for stray animals & no humanity towards them. Every society has stray animals & stocks domesticated farm animals to protect the breeds, to ignore this critical infrastructure is poor governance and lack of common decency. Government's stray animals get killed & dumped at the incinerator. Private support for it should not be a bandaid or excuse for them continue doing that to animals.
Good donation otherwise. Government is OK spending millions on entertainment while the least among us -the animals, environment & people- suffer, recall when the chickens in road town were to be poisoned. We need a shift in thinking & accountability with the current expenses... not more private funding.
Show some respect, this man passed away well before his time leaving behind a grieving partner and family. You make assumptions that this was his only legacy!!!!!!! Some people just cant do anything but bring negativity. RIP.
