Please &mdash; DO NOT BUY ME ANYTHING. I have way too much stuff, we are always blessed with so much food from everyone always. But if you insist like I know lots of you will, and you REALLY want to give me something that I will appreciate and truly treasure, please DONATE instead to @pawssionproject. You know how much I LOVE DOGS OF ANY AND ALL BREEDS, and it just would mean the world to me if you could give to @pawssionproject to help us keep our rescued dogs well-fed and healthy,&rdquo; she wrote.&ldquo;If you would want me to know that you have donated, you may donate in your name and add &lsquo;for Sharon.&rsquo; But that really won&rsquo;t be necessary,&rdquo; she stressed. &ldquo;Any amount or anything in kind that you give will be truly appreciated and we will be so grateful to you! THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR THIS CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY THAT WOULD REALLY MAKE ME HAPPIEST.&rdquo; <iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CzqwZS2rFmP/embed/?cr=1&v=14&wp=485&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1593961.9000000022%2C%22ls%22%3A1593409.1999999993%2C%22le%22%3A1593957.8000000007%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 0px 0px 12px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script> Sharon stressed that she does not need anything more as she is already incredibly blessed. &ldquo;It would really fill my heart if you give to our dogs instead of any kind of gift to me,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I need all the help I can get for the animals I love so much, these animals who cannot speak for themselves.&rdquo;She also urged her fans in Bacolod to visit the animal shelter if they can. &ldquo;If you are in Bacolod, even to just spend a day with our dogs and cats would touch my heart to no end, too,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I also would like to appeal to corporations and organizations and sponsors I have met throughout all these years to please, please help.
