I put a lot of time, passion, effort into my work. When I get phone calls for guidance, Im fair and follow through, manage my page, and ask for a donation to my page .
Most are ecstatic and will donate immediately and we continue a dialogue & updates until a positive result is achieved.
It is not easy to get to north of the state, however, by guiding owners with their pets, such as Pax, just last week, my time is rewarded. The 3 rebels at Pelverata found overnight, and beautiful review. Reward for effort.
Some I have not been compensated a cent, with their pet found with my guidance. So my time was not rewarded and obviously expected for free.
A case I have been on for 12mths, I was on the road and visited 14 times, over 100 km return visit each time, yet I received no fuel, no compensation and paid for out of my pension. Media attention, yet you indist I caused you grief? No, I worked hard!
I requested a donation, & received $50 which is a total insult.
I contacted this person and received a 'blast' and insulting comment that it shows It was all about the money, that I have no heart. I simply deleted it in disgust.
I deserve to be paid just like anyone else for work. Im sure she would be unhappy to go to work & get $50 for a year on the job.
There are 3 donations outstanding to date, just a reminder.
Most do not even query my petty cost.
Ive got a very good track record. Bought many furbabes home simply by phone guidance. Posted pets on my personal page. That is all time, effort.
Id simply like to be respected and receive payment like all who go to work and get a wage.
Thank you to those who have shown that respect and gratitude.
I will try not to feel as condescending for even asking and been shamed for the hundreds of hours I have put into this. Which included writing to every vet hospital statewide.
I am a Pensioner, who started this out of a labour of love, which it still is. I need to be paid for my fuel and time and call out just like any tradie.
Its NOT about the money, as Ive been accused today. Because I ran this 12 mth one and begged simply to get $50. On principle, should not have needed to ask.
Its people like that which makes me want to give up. Its people who ate also critical of my skills, and downgrade me , you know who you are, yet your pet was located.
But then it is simply the most wonderful outcomes and joy that keeps me going..
This is why I ask for support to my business which is to help, with the best tools, to bring your fur babes home.
I will be putting out donation boxes, because on a case by case, I will never say no to a pensioner where donations will cover me in a small way π
Thank you.
