Wild Rose Sanctuary
Go donate, Y'all -- there are 32 rescues here that I rarely ask for fundraising for - I do it from my heart because I was asked to - and I love it so very much, and all of the rescues - they get hoofcare, urgent care, muskuloskeletal care, chiro care, urgent care, and emergency placement, feed, halters, leads, meds, hoof trims, and more -- my rescue is a 501c3 non-profit -- it's been through hell and back lately, but the rescues don't have to go through hell and back because I make sure they KEEP their second chance. They are healthy post they're rescue dates, because I keep them at their optimum health once they are brought to their own optimum health after rescue, but unfortunately people only want to donate when it's urgent, or the horses are horribly injured, or emaciated... but guess what - their injuries, abuse, malnutrition - the horror I've brought them back from even while I myself have had barely a leg to stand on these last three years -- these animals are still here - they're not suffering - they look great - because the public asked me to rescue them on their very worst days - and I did - and Wild Rose still stands strong today EIGHT YEARS STRONG- but I need some help because most of their pasts gave them ALL lasting health issues, injuries and more -- and let's not forget the normal stuff like vaccinations, hoof trims, de-wormers, regular feed and more. Everyone wants them all rescued on their worst day, but nobody wants to continue to support them when they've turned the corner towards a second chance - because they "look so healthy" -- except for me, and TWO others. There are 32 longterm care or urgent placement Equine here on this Rescue Sanctuary of mine, and they need nutrition, longterm care meds, feed, supplements, and a damn better fence. I haven't given up on any of them, even while my world gave up on me the last three years, even while my whole life savings and emotions and 28 year career went to a man that hurt me so bad, I should have been a rescue... but I wasn't. So now I'm asking for help - now I'm asking you to help me keep every single one of these rescues in the same state of health that many of you asked me to bring them to - because I could, and did. But I've been through my own personal hell for three years that I've mostly kept to myself - because there are not enough Domestic Violence advocates on the planet to help DM abuse victims like me - and I KNOW many of you can relate. There are people in my life I have fully helped along the way over my 54 years - that have more money than God himself -- some are friends, some are acquaintances -- that I have more than given my time, my land, my ammenities and more to. I've saved others livestock when they couldn't, worked a different kind of harder even when those animals couldn't be saved... sacrificed my own herds' meds and vet bills for those who needed urgent help with their livestock - when other help couldn't be soon enough. I went to court to fight for part of the land they live freely on, on Oct 24th 2024 - and I won - but it cost me all that I had left - for them, and my 83 and 88 year old folks who live here too. But everyone looks at me with a side eye now, instead of having the balls to listen to MY SIDE - AND HARDLY ANYBODY DONATES A DIME ANYMORE to these animals who YOU ALL ASKED ME TO RESCUE -- and I did so over the years, with my whole heart. But I'm sitting here tonight wondering how the hell ANYONE could put their sideways "knowledge" of anything about me, in front of these animals' needs. I have 53,000 followers on my art page (built by my career that was destroyed by a crap human - and that's exactly what he turned out to be) and 2000 on my personal profile, and if I raised even $1 from each of you, these animals would never have to even remotely know what could happen to their second chance, if I don't get some kind of funding for them. I didn't get a second chance, I got a divorce I didn't want, after bruises I NEVER expected, and band-aids with "terms" (no negativity - justifiable of course )- but nobody saved me or this land these rescues run on - I did. I'm still paying OUT MY NOSE -- I can't even afford a hot water heater, or (gasp) a hot shower -- much less the kind of groceries most of your are used to... (and God forbid I ask for help there, or it'll be thrown back in my face.) I've had my life turned upside down in more ways than many of you could ever know, or some of you even care to know, and not ONE TIME did these animals go without -- but I did - and that's ok. Most of the time, the help I get is from those who need to be, and should be paid a normal living wage, but most of the time I can't even afford to pay for their help. And even then, some that offer help, wanted even more in return, and that sucked. So I do MOST of ALL of this, myself.
I am asking, outwardly and loudly -- please consider donating to Wild Rose Sanctuary like you used to, before the wheels of the truck that carried my entire life, fell off. Judge me, listen to the squeakiest wheel, don't ask my side of why my life fell apart -- that's ok -- but don't make me sit here wondering whether to 💩 or go blind over if I'll keep making it or not -- when every single one of you reading this can afford ONE DOLLLAR to give to these 32 rescues that I was asked to rescue over the many years since 2016. Judge me all you want (most of you that have, have literally never asked how I'm doing, or what happened, or even bothered to talk to me vs listening to others) -- but many of you definitely needed lots from me over the years - which I gave to you from my heart, my wallet, and more-- and most of you don't even care, or even know that I've been in a sinking pattern with unhealable scars - for three years. But boy my rescues sure better look good or the world will come down on my head. Well they do, and I'll keep giving them the best life possible - and my folks and Ms Linda too (she's about to be 77) -- and I'll go without for the rest of my days here on earth to ensure their happiness in their last years on this earth. I'm on the floor now, finally asking for some help - maybe too late, but I'm asking.
