Most people do not realize that countless horses suffer from starvation every day. They don't understand the daily gut wrenching pain, or why they can barely stand, These innocent victims need our voice and our support right now. Horses have been there for us through and through. They've faught our wars, built our cities, and been loyal companions. But due to skyrocketing hay prices, compounded by high fuel costs and drought conditions in the west the cost of hay has more than doubled over the past few years and prices have continued to rise. America's horses need our help more than ever and we are counting on you to help us get the word out on their behalf. Our immediate and continuing need to replenish hay supplies is crucial.
Here at Global Giving, over the last twelve months we've raised $450 for the purchase of lifesaving hay for starved and homeless horses in need. 100% of the funds we receive always go directly to feed innocent victims. We really appreciate your support by donating and forwarding our project information to your friends and family. Your support is what makes our lifesaving work possible.
We are an all volunteer charity working around the clock on behalf of the horses, and during emergencies and crisis situations it’s an all-hands-on-deck operation and we literally put our lives on hold to rescue, recover and evacuate horses and burros from starvation and displacement. Over these last 18 months we we've fed and saved hundreds of starved, homeless and victimized horses from across the Nation, and we we've re-homed over 200 of them into new safe haven habitats through our lifesaving missions. Indeed, we would not have been able to sustain these vital lifesaving rescue missions without the necessary funds to purchase enough nutritious hay to keep them fed.
While we have quite a ways to go to reach our fund raising goal of $25 thousand for this project, we are deeply touched and encouraged by the showing of compassionate support from the caring GlobalGiving community. Your thoughtful donations are vital for the lifesaving work that we do. Your support in sharing information about this important cause will undoubtedly help us to come closer to our goal. Will you help by sharing a link to our project page on Global Giving?
If you would like to help secure the safety and welfare of horses in need, one great way is by setting up recurring donations through our GlobalGiving platform. Through monthly gifts you can help secure nutritious hay for the neediest animals that come into our rescue and sanctuary program. Monthly giving is the easiest way to support our lifesaving mission. Your monthly gifts provide a consistent, reliable income stream that allows us to assure that these vulnerable victimized animals receive the quality hay they need and that they will never be at risk of starvation or displacement again!
In the coming months, we’ll keep you updated about our vital hay drive project, its victories, and the many lives that will benefit from the success of this project. Thank you very much for your interest and support for all you do to make this incredible aid for at-risk horses possible.
Best wishes,
