🚨URGENT APPEAL!🚨
We've been blown away by your support over the last couple of days. THANK YOU!
Lucas Helps Dogs of Sri Lanka and I posted that due to an increase in prices, the costs for our pop-up spay and neuter clinic have gone up. We've worked hard to raise £7000 this year to fund the clinic in Yala, but we we're still at least £500 short of raising enough to help as many dogs and cats as we set out to. Thanks to all of you, we've managed to raise enough to fully vaccinate, spay/neuter and treat around 180 animals of the 200 we'd like to help.
The dog in this photo is the whole reason this idea of a clinic in Yala started. I couldn't leave him behind, so I promised I'd go back to help him. And because of all of you wonderful people, I can, and this time, I'll have a whole team of dedicated people alongside me. We'll be able to help dogs and cats that are in the poorest condition I've ever seen. But, we still need to raise as much as we can to help as many as we can.
Here's a list of costs that we have to cover with the money we've raised for the clinic. As we're bringing in a vet team from outside the area, as there isn't one there already, the costs are a lot higher. We have to pay for:
●Vet team salary.
●Dog catchers' salary.
●Their accommodation, food and water.
●Their transport.
●Equipment.
●Fuel.
●Vaccinations (Rabies and DHPL).
●Any extras like cancer treatments, other surgeries etc.
●Medications e.g. anaesthetic.
●Nexgard.
●Reflective collars.
●Food for volunteers.
Ali, our volunteers and I are all paying for our own accommodation and travel costs. The money you donate is purely for the clinic. I've put together a fundraiser to try and raise the final funds we need to make sure we can help the 200 animals we want to reach.
