$5 Friday for the Sanctuary Transformation Project
HELP US MOVE LILY AND HER FRIENDS TO THE WOODS!! 🐖💚
We don’t have a new fundraiser total to share today because the numbers haven’t changed since our last update — but the urgency has not changed at all.
Here's where we are 👉 total raised $15,758 of our $30k goal!!
After years of hoping we could eventually expand at our current location, we’ve had to accept that it’s no longer realistic. Relocating the sanctuary is still the ideal long-term solution, but after our Kickstarter campaign failed to reach its goal, we simply are not in a position to do that right now.
So now we pivot, because we have to
That means transforming the space we already have as quickly as possible so we can create a more sustainable future for the animals already depending on us.
The plan: 🐖 Move the pigs to a wooded area with natural enrichment, shade, room to root, wallow, and explore 🐄 Convert the old pig pasture into additional grazing space for the cows with proper fencing and suitable grasses 🌱 Reduce pressure on our current setup and make daily life safer and more manageable moving forward
These changes are urgently needed. The fencing problems, constant repairs, escaped cows, and lack of grazing space are ongoing issues we can’t keep patching forever.
A note about GoFundMe - donations made through that platform go through PayPal Giving Fund and are disbursed monthly (end of month) so we will receive those funds by the end of May. Our goal is to reach our goal this month!!
If we want any chance of finishing these projects before winter, we need to start NOW.
