Please visit http://ourjourneytothegentlebarn.blogspot.com/ & donate for these animals if you can...every little bit helps! So far $230 has been donated for the animals & our goal is to bring the animals $2,500. We are planning a trip to the Gentle Barn in July 2011.
WE ARE SO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE.......!
A group of us ladies are planning a trip to The Gentle Barn in Spring/Summer 2011 and would like to fundraise from now until then so we can arrive with a big surprise check! We need your help!
The 120 farm animals that reside at The Gentle Barn have ALL been rescued from severe abuse, neglect, and loneliness. They have been rehabilitated with deep tissue massage therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, western medicine, herbs, nutritional supplements, top quality feed, and countless hours in the arms of the staff. They have regained their trust in humankind by realizing that they are now loved, and their abuse is over. They have all survived with forgiveness, trust, love, courage, and time. Because of their ongoing physical and psychological needs, most cannot be adopted and are given sanctuary with The Gentle Barn for the rest of their lives.
The Gentle Barn is home to horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, llamas, dogs, and cats. Everyone deserves a chance at life, regardless if they are blind, crippled, deformed, sick, wounded, or just old. At The Gentle Barn, the animals leave when they are done, not when someone is done with them!
Because The Gentle Barn is home to the abused animals that no one else would take in, their treatment and rehabilitation is extremely expensive. But it is worth it to see them smile again, to hear them purr, to watch their eyes light up, to feel them cuddle in your lap, and to see them play with new life and new hope. Once rehabilitated, the animals become ambassadors, teaching children about magic and grace.
This is why we want to raise money for The Gentle Barn. Not only do they rescue animals and teach them love, they educate adults and children about the importance of being kind to animals and what we can all learn from these amazing creatures.
We are funding our own flights and hotel accommodations. 100% of the money fundraised/donated will be donated directly to The Gentle Barn. Our goal is $2,500. When we fly to California this summer, we will present this wonderful foundation with a large check, and be there to meet, pet, snuggle, and rehabilitate the animals and help out around the farm. We cannot think of a greater reward than to be a part of this. What a learning experience of a lifetime!
Please consider a donation to The Gentle Barn for our trip. THANK YOU.
