How to support our unique wildlife in their time of need 🐨❤️

There are wonderful sanctuaries, shelters, rescue centres and wildlife carers that are working tirelessly to care for our animals impacted, injured, orphaned or homeless as a result of the recent extensive bushfires across Australia.

These beautiful animals and their carers need our support right now.🙏

I’ve prepared list of some of the organisations, sanctuaries and shelters that are asking for financial support to continue their important work of saving lives. Sadly some sanctuaries now need to be re-built.

I feel very sad about the impact that the fires are having on every Being and Great Nature and equally inspired by all of the kindness and generosity of people in our country and around the world who are coming together to assist people and animals.

There is a lot we can do to support those affected by fire. Here are some ideas…

1. Offer a financial donation
2. Volunteer your time to raise funds
3. Attend a fund raising event
4. Pray for enough rain to put out the fires – collective
intention and prayer is powerful
5. Ask for Pure Love and Light to be sent to all people,
animals and areas affected.
6. Avoid adding to the sea of despair and hopelessness that we can feel when we see the posts and images of the devastation created. We are strong together. See everyone affected strong, powerful and united in love and harmony to boost and strengthen them in their time of need.
7. Offering supplies to sanctuaries/shelters that are asking for specific items e.g. Wool blankets; Pouches; Water tanks
8. Do what ever you are able to do to reduce your impact on the environment and the animals that live here too.
9. Share this list of inspiring organisations and sanctuaries that are in need of support with your friends.

I would like to offer my deep gratitude to the Fire fighters, Wildlife Carers and to all people working together to heal and rebuild. 💚

Here is the list. Thank you for your support...
