🚨AMAZON DRIVER RUNS OVER FAMILY DOG AND LEAVES HER TO DIE

On April 21st at 4:56PM, an Amazon delivery driver in Benson, NC ignored clear instructions, entered a private driveway, and ran over Sadie, a beloved dog owned by Marshall and Valerie Chavis. The driver did not stop, did not check on her, and did not notify the family.

Within minutes, Sadie was rushed to the vet with catastrophic injuries, including severe brain trauma and fractures to her C1 and C2 vertebrae. She is alive, but barely, and now fighting for her life.

In Valerie’s words:

“Immediately upon impact Sadie ran to the front porch as a dog does when they have been hit. She was urinating uncontrollably, trying to stand and repeatedly falling over, her left eye bulging out of her head, both of her eyes bouncing back and forth rapidly, both pupils dilated, and visible bruising and abrasions on the left side of her body from impact. I immediately knew her injuries were severe.”

The Chavis family had done everything right. A clearly marked package drop box at the road. Posted signage. No Trespassing notices. Explicit delivery instructions. Carriers like FedEx and UPS follow these directions without issue. Amazon drivers have repeatedly ignored them.

Now, instead of taking responsibility, Amazon is refusing to step up. The company is demanding the family pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for emergency, life saving care, with only the possibility of partial reimbursement later.

This is negligence. This is unacceptable. And it cannot be ignored.

AMAZON NEEDS TO #SaveSadie.

Share this and demand that Amazon take responsibility and change its practices before another family suffers the same devastation. @amazon

imagine this happening to you. there is no one you can call. there's a soldier up ahead ready to arrest you if you dare defend yourself. the only reason you are even seeing this is because there's a leftist Jewish Israeli activist filming it from inside, where he's trying to protect the family by documenting what Israeli settlers do on a daily basis.

Israel destroyed the statue of Jesus Christ in the Christian village of Debel, South Lebanon.

Now they’re bulldozing the solar panels that provide electricity and water.

Not military targets.

Critical infrastructure.

This is the deliberate targeting of civilian life.

The soul does not gain its existential weight through tranquility, but through the trials it passes. Every storm you face, and every knot you manage to untie, is in truth a chisel carving out your true form.

We do not become more valuable simply because we survive, but because every wound we heal and every hardship we master adds a dimension to our essence that time cannot erase. The value of a person lies in the depth of the paths of light they carve through the darkness of challenges...

year ago
Everything was different. I couldn't have imagined myself like this, and now looking back, I realize that one year
can do so much for a person..
"I was forced to live without a part of my emotions, as if I were killing something inside me so that the rest could survive. I no longer feel as I used to, nor do I love as I should, nor do I grieve as befits disappointment. I have become content with silence."..

In the end, I discovered that loving cats is a thousand times better than loving some people...
Those who love cats, their hearts are pure and calm, they love sincerely and kindly, and they don't know harm, because inside them is a peace like the look of a cat when it trusts you.
Sitting with, caring for, and looking after cats gives me unparalleled peace of mind. Your support is what helps me keep going, my friends.
I am still struggling to buy their food and ongoing veterinary care...
I appreciate your support and I am very grateful for your standing by me.

My dear friends, I thank you all without exception. I thank you for your good character, noble qualities, profound wisdom, and refined manners. I am deeply grateful for your continued support.
I love you from the bottom of my heart.

[help cats @helpcatsmsallam]

Resist what you love, and endure what you hate. This isn't a recipe for deprivation, but a smart survival strategy.

If the soul is left to its desires, they slowly, subtly, yet subtly, consume its owner.

In the struggle with one's needs, one learns that freedom lies not in doing whatever one wants, but in not being enslaved by what one wants.

And when the inner conflict subsides, you realize that you weren't losing your peace... you were rebuilding yourself.
The version I have now is very precious, so I won't part with it easily. It cost me years of patience, long anxiety,

and hearts that left after teaching me so much.

I made it from the remnants of disappointments,

whose meaning I understood too late,

and from a silence that rearranged my soul...

And that's why I guard my peace carefully,

who knows that survival is not a coincidence but a high price..
We will never forget our suffering in the war. We will never forget how we endured what no one else could. We haven't forgotten how we starved, and we haven't forgotten how we hurt. All of this shaped the people we are today. We will not forget....
My dear friends, please don't forget to support us in purchasing the cat shelter's needs, including food and veterinary care. Your support helps us continue...
My dear friends, your support helps us continue feeding the cats that survived with me from the war https://t.co/4HGeWVpT8V
Thank you to the people who see us as something very precious

and to the people who make us love ourselves and tell us we deserve

to be loved 1

and to the people whose prayers we have a share in, to the people who remembered something nice we did for them, to the people who didn't let go of our hand in our weakness, to the people who wish us well. Thank you to the good people, you are truly a blessing and a support

You could offer me footballer wages or any incentive in the world to stop helping dogs and I'd say no.

Nothing in the world beats sitting with Sienna tonight in her new bandana 5 months after she came in totally broken telling her about her new family home.

Priceless feeling

Even after much begging and pleading we are yet to hit our target. This month has been the worst for donations leaving us unable to clear our invoices. Could just 157 supporters donate £10 each so that we may clear our dues. We are now in a sad situation https://t.co/cjCQDPL2Vc

Netanyahu: "Iran planned another Holocaust. It plotted to destroy us with nuclear bombs."

Iran has no nuclear bombs. Israel has 200+. The only "another Holocaust" happening is in Gaza, with Israeli bombs.
