My horse rescue needs help.
I just don’t understand these rescues that are bringing in millions per year. My rescue has only had $7000 in DONATIONS in THE LAST 3 years. I am so thankful to everyone who has donated in the past and do not wish to hurt previous donors feelings. $7000 in 3 years is devastating. That’s not even enough to cover one month of hay. I have been the main donor for the past 12 years. I just can’t do it anymore.
We need to raise a minimum of $18000 in the next 20 days or we will be forced to shut our doors. $2000 vet bills, $8000 overdue on previous loads of hay, $8000 on current load of hay.
I have been behind on my mortgage by more than 6 months twice and have two hard money loans on my property where I house the rescues.
I have liquidated my investments to the point of being hit heavily on withdrawing from my Roth IRA…it’s practically gone and other accounts have been fully closed.
I cannot hang on for much longer. Where are all the volunteers? Before Covid, I had 10-15 per day. Now I’d be lucky to get 10 within 2 months. Where is the funding. I was told it would be so much easier once I became a non profit in 2021. It became $7000 easier.
Please do not suggest a gofundme. I have tried several of those (and even other people have tried setting them up for the ranch) and they were unsuccessful.
