Fellow Mortals--Compassion Changes Everything

Over the last twelve months, we’ve shared stories about some of the special animals in our care through our ‘thank you’ notes and project reports—individual lives that were changed because of your gifts to Fellow Mortals—and those stories are just a tiny fraction of the impact your gifts have made this past year.

Over 2000 birds and mammals received care in 2017, including threatened and endangered species and species of special concern, represented by a Great Egret, Peregrine Falcon, Bald Eagle, [not so] Common Nighthawk, Chuck-will’s Widow and Chimney Swifts, as well as the more familiar wild ones, such as rabbits, squirrels, sparrows and geese.

We hope you know that your support has a direct impact on our ability to provide the necessary food, medicine and supplies needed by all of our patients, but you may not know that you have also had a very important impact on Fellow Mortals’ ability to thrive and grow as an organization.

We are thrilled to announce that the majority of wild ones who received care at the hospital have been, or will be released—and that, thanks to you, Fellow Mortals has been chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to benefit from the experience of a global marketing company.  We have been chosen to partner with GlobalGiving and Dentsu Aegis in the coming year to explore ways to strengthen Fellow Mortals’ mission to help individual wild animals and the people who care about them.

“Eric’s Owl,” “Tiny Tim,” “Chip” beaver, the lead poisoned eagle--every individual creature that has come into our care has allowed us to tell the story of their species or to bring attention to an issue that affects wildlife and the environment.

Thank you for being part of so many positive stories this past year.  Thank you for the gifts which have helped injured wild ones heal, and for the opportunities you make possible by supporting us through GlobalGiving.

My hope in writing to you at the end of another wonderful, tumultuous year is that I can somehow convey our gratitude for the differences you have made--and that you might realize you are an incredibly important part of a groundswell of positive change that can and will lead us into a better future.

Happy New Year from all of us at Fellow Mortals.

For the wild ones,
