WE NEED YOUR URGENT HELP

Hi guys, I need your help for something dear to my heart. However, if you are expecting a post about a small pup that has been hit by car then scroll away. If you are expecting a post about a precious little kitten abandoned on the side of the road, then scroll away. If you are expecting to see a story about a wombat with mange needing around the clock care, then this post is not for you.

However, to me this post is all about rescue. About the hard yards that rescues do. About the 24/7 behind the scenes care that you just don’t see. It’s about how organisations cling on for too long without the resources they need to properly get the job done.

It doesn’t pull on heart strings, it’s not life or death about an animal but one thing is for sure. It is absolutely crucial that we help our friends at Eumundi Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre tonight. We just have to.

They really, really, really need some medical equipment - yes, you read that right. Boring old medical equipment. I could sugar coat it. I could write the words “DESPERATE”, “NEAR DEATH” or “LAST CHANCE” but to be honest, this is every day life for this rescue. It’s what they need every single day of the year. So there, you have it..

It’s hard to believe that they achieve such incredible results when they don’t have everything they need. Imagine how it will be when they can have the equipment they need! Imagine how much easier it will be for them! I ‘m asking you tonight, to join me in making this become reality. We want to buy them an Electro Cautery to help with surgery procedures.

Yes you read that right. I’m putting out a challenge to see if we can fund this. It’s not the normal urgent rescue fundraiser, I know, but to be honest, it’s just as important. Perhaps even more important Others have told me that this fundraiser will fail.

“It just won’t work. People don’t give to medical equipment. No urgency, no pictures of animals looking sick.”

I’ve told them I want to give it a shot. So here it is. Just honesty, no bells and whistles, telling you as it is.

For the animals. For those legends and warriors at Eumundi who need the basics. Just the basics x

We want to buy them a heating cabinet that keeps drip fluids at the right temperature, so they don’t have to take time warming up fluid before they can administer life saving fluid therapy. Our wildlife deserves the best and so do these wonderful nurses and Dr Claude. These two items come to approx $13K and I know we can do this, together, and be part of a great collaborative effort to look after this vitally important facility and all those who work there.

Just $5 from each and every one of you would change the game for the folk at Eumundi. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will make their dreams come true and they will be able to better treat the animals in their care.

This is an important campaign and I need the entire world to see what happens behind the scenes day in day out in rescue.
