Helping people and animals in need of assistance, working with other non profits to help the greater good. We promote and encourage the pay it forward movement!

RAINA Reaching All IN Need of Assistance, is helping animals in need of assistance in various ways. We collect food, blankets, towels, treats, bleach, paper towels, leashes, bowls and needed supplies for local shelters and rescues. We distribute food and straw to outdoor dogs in Detroit when supplies allow. We share animals looking for their furever homes and host adoption events often. We also try to offer assistance to people that may have fallen on hard times by supplying pet food. We assist people in many ways as well. From providing life saving supplies and food to the less fortunate that are homeless, helping people get back on their feet, providing furnishings for homes for individuals that were once homeless, We have helped provide clothing for all ages to those in need, helped with the holidays, etc. we try to assist in any way we can! We love to team up with other organizations to help our fellow man as well. Kindness is key! We can be reached via email at [email protected]

Hello to all of our supporters and followers. After much deliberation and thought, the remaining board members of RAINA have decided to close down our non-profit.

This decision did not come lightly as this group was our founder, Carrie’s, vision. She handled all requests for helping all in need with such grace and compassion.

Before we close down, we will fulfill one or two more good deeds.

First and foremost, we just received a desperate plea for help.

A mother/daughter duo we have helped in the past have reached out for assistance. The mother recently had major surgery, and through this procedure her team of doctors have discovered she now has stage 3 cervical cancer.

She has asked us if we could help with resources for food and clothing for her and her daughter.

RAINA has not had any fundraising events for over a year, so our funds are at a bare minimum. We will provide a grocery order and are asking for donations as follows:

Sizes needed include:

Mom
- Tops/Bottoms - 1X (jogger pants / sweatshirts preferred)
- Head scarfs
- Shoes/boots - 9 1/2
- Coat size 1x

Daughter (17 yrs)
- Tops - adult small or medium
- Pants/leggings - 16/18 kids or 0 to 2 adult size
- Shoes/boots - 6 1/2
- Coat/size - 16/18 kids or adult small/medium

Other items needed:
- adult diapers size XL
- Masks
- Gloves
- Sanitizing sprays / hand sanitizer
- Gently used blankets

We ask that all items be washed before donating.

Drop off will be in Southgate. Please message for address.

Thank you all!

Today a couple volunteers carried on the annual tradition of supporting the great works of Bark Nation! They were raising money for their spay and neuter program. Juli and Michelle were touched beyond words and brought to tears from the heartfelt tribute given for our dear Carrie.

Carrie had attended this event with RAINA volunteers since its beginning. She always supported Barn Nation’s efforts of providing and caring for the helpless victims of dog fighting and animal cruelty and more.

We were more than happy to carry on this tradition.

Today, we joined forces with Animal Resource Funding Foundation, Detroiters Helping Each Other, and Michigan Humane hand out life saving supplies to the residents for the dogs and cats. We helped over 1,000 animals. Ao thankful to all of them and to YOU for donating towards this great cause.

I just know that Carrie was part of our crew today and is so happy!

Thank you again!

As many of you know, one of Carrie’s many passions was helping the voiceless. What better way of honoring our angel in heaven, then joining forces with a few of the groups that she was also a part of and loved helping.

We will be joining forces with ARFF, DHEO, and Michigan Humane to do a winter outreach on January 30th. The flyer lists the items that we will be providing that day.

Thank you again for bringing joy to others this Holiday Season.

May you and yours have a Very Merry 🎄

Our elves, Christie and Ed, borrowed Santa’s sleigh today and visited several downriver care facilities delivering Christmas Cards to all their residents.

Thank you to both of them and all of you who donated and signed these cards.

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!

Carrie is looking down and smiling at you all!

We have a generous donor offering a free large turkey to a family in need. This will need to be picked up today in Woodhaven.

Three total turkeys to be given away.
