HELLO STEEMIT
Hi all, I just wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone on Steemit. My name is Doris, as you can see from the title of this post, I'm 68yrs old, I wonder if I'm the eldest on Steemit (Hmmm). I'm retired now, but for 26 years, I was a foster mum to 17 troubled teenagers, in total. It was tough but rewarding. I retired two years ago but that's another story.
I volunteer at my local animal rescue shelter and am an emergency foster carer, for puppies and kittens, whose mothers reject them at birth. That means I hand rear them, feed them every 2 hours, even wind and wipe their bottoms!! I also organise fundraisers to help keep the shelter going, I am also the annoying person who shakes the bucket at you in the street, tries to sell you a raffle ticket at your door.
I also volunteer as a charity fundraiser for the NSPCC, you know, the one with the clipboard in the street :) and volunteer in a charity shop. Yes it's a busy life but it keeps me going.
That is me, Doris, a new Steemit member who hopes she can earn a couple of pounds to donate to the things I love.
God Bless
Dotty Doris
