I won't be sorry to see the end of September, luckily every month is different. This month has tested my resolve, my passion, my inner strength, my stamina and my mental fortitude. It has made me question what I do and why I do it. I'm still hanging on to the rails, trying to find my feet. I keep going every day, I have to, there are lots of four legged furry friends that count on me to feed them.
Earlier this month a couple of tourists found 6 puppies dumped on the beach, they heard them crying at night and found them the next morning. They were lying on wet sand, one has unfortunately succumbed to the water. They were less than five days old, their eyes and ears were still closed. Without an emergency place to put them they went to a boarding kennel for a few days.
Then parvo virus came walking through our gate, it wreaked devastation on our older litter of puppies. I never want to experience anything like it again. I worked up to 17 hours a day trying to save them. Some were rushed to a clinic on the mainland as I couldn't deal with them all.
This has all come at a huge cost to me. I have incurred boarding kennel fees, transport fees, vet clinic bills and medications costs. On top of this one of the cats has developed gastro issues and needs a special dry food for the rest of her life. And in less than a week the monthly food bill will arrive again. I have to find 28,045,000 IDR ($2804 AUD) from somewhere. Fingers crossed for a miracle.
I am just one woman trying to run an organization to help dogs and cats on Nusa Penida which has an area of 200km square. I am massively under resourced and massively overwhelmed on most days but I do what I can to help them.
If any kind hearted animal loving souls can spare just $5 each I know I can get these bills paid. Please help me to keep my doors open so that I can help more animals in need.
