Dear Do Good Colorado community:

It's with a very heavy heart that we let you know that Do Good Colorado is dissolving as a 501(c)3 effective December 31st, 2024.

We will still continue to Do Good in our community and we hope you will do the same.

Sometimes running a non profit is a lot harder and a lot less fun than you realize. It's also extra hard with limited time and resources because you still have to do all the adult stuff to pay the bills.

Thank you for all the good you have done in your community. Keep being kind and looking out for each other

With love and gratitude,

Danielle and Phillip

This is the best story in all the land! I share it hoping you will be inspired to Do Good in your community!

My neighbor knew I was looking for a better vehicle for my gardening business and other adventures. He told me he was looking to get a new car and would I be interested in his car? I said sure how much? His response was nothing..just keep doing you and helping people. I couldn't believe it. I promised to pay it forward.

So I called my favorite mechanics in all the land at B-Town Automotive and asked them if I could donate my car to their single mom car clinic. Of course they got right on it.

She said her friend at Grace Place could help us find the right mom.
Within a few hours we found a single mom who was taking her kid to school in an Uber and really struggling without having a dependable vehicle.

B-Town got to work and replaced the brakes, gave it an oil change, and drove the car to Berthoud Tire Company Inc. where Hector put on a new set of tires (great price) and told me that anytime the mom needed a tire rotation or anything else that he would take care of it.

B -Town then drove it back to the shop for an alignment, so they are safe on the road in every possible way.

My friend arranged to get the car detailed so the car was nice and clean for the mom and her son. You wouldn't believe the leaves and dirt in every crack and corner!!

I asked my friends over at The NoCo Secret Samaritan if they might have any toys for her son, to help ease some of the holiday pressure. (Toys are expensive!!!) And of course they hooked this kiddo up!! Legos, robots, puzzles and books!!

Tonight I met the momma and her sweet son. She was so grateful, and when I showed her the box of toys, you could see the relief melting away so much stress.. She started to cry and I had a hard time keeping it together.

She said she's been so stressed about the car and how to pay for presents and all the things that Mom's silently struggle with.

I told her that I have been blessed, so I needed to pay it forward and I asked her to do the same when the opportunity presented itself.

I'm still in shock about how this all came together and for the amazing huge hearts in the tiny town of Berthoud.

Please support B-Town and Berthoud Tire and tell them I sent you.

We are so excited to be able to offer pet emergency stickers to our community. This is a project almost 10 years in the making and means so much to us! More information on how to purchase a sticker or gourd on our website: https://www.dogoodcolorado.com/

My friend Bill and the story behind the pet emergency stickers.

In 2015 My friends Bill and Lorraine Eyl’s home was destroyed by a tornado. His son is a friend of mine and I reached out to him to ask how I could help his parents. At the time I was working for the Larimer Humane Society and we were able to gather up some food and supplies for their dog Duffy. While talking to Eryc, he said " I don't know what to do about my parents' parrots, Bogie and Bacall, who somehow survived the tornado and are trapped in the house.

I went to Mr. and Mrs. Eyl's house to meet with Eryc and the first thing that caught me was that the front door was still intact and there was a save my pets in case of emergency sticker on the door. Animal Protection came and they somehow got the birds in the back of a van and transported them to the Humane Society

Bogie and Bacall stayed at the Humane Society until Bill and Lorraine's daughter Jennifer could take the parrots to her house to care for them until the Eyl’s could get back on their feet after the tornado.

As a gesture of gratitude, the Eyls donated $$ so the Humane Society could make pet emergency stickers like the one on their door. They were so popular that we couldn't keep up with the demand and were getting requests from as far away as New York City.

Fast forward to almost 10 years later and sadly Bill Eyl passed away a few years ago. I've been helping his wife, Lorraine get settled into her new living space. And in the process, we found a box of Bill's gourds. I asked her if I could take them home and make birdhouses out of them.

I was driving home from her house the day that the Alexander Mountain fire began and I could see it climbing over the ridges of the foothills. I thought about Bill and those pet emergency stickers and how he would probably be first in line to try and help someone in a situation like this.

Do Good Colorado created more window cling stickers and with the help of Leapin' Lizard Labels , we now have pet emergency sticker stickers available for purchase for $5. The birdhouse gourds are also available for purchase for $30 and will include a couple of stickers.

Proceeds from the sale of the stickers and birdhouse gourds will go to order more stickers to be able to give to anyone in need and also half of the proceeds will be donated to a charity of the Eyl families choosing in honor of their awesome dad and husband Bill.

Feel free to send a message if you are interested in purchasing a birdhouse Gourd or sticker.

In loving memory of Bill, love everyone and everything in your life. Never forget to count your blessings and to smile!
