Mary is a Little Lamb
Tax deductible
Hello, my name is Gabrielle and I have an established in good standing 501 (c) 3 Animal Sanctuary on the eastern plains of Colorado.
We have been here in this location for almost ten years.
I want to raise money for one of our resident animals that just came here a few weeks ago and needs your help.
We provide most of our resident animal needs regarding expenses, however, we have never had a "special needs" animal here before so need some help with her expenses so we can take care of the rest of the animals, too.
So here is Mary's story:
Mary is a little lamb…her fleece is white as snow…and everywhere that Mary goes her “cart” is sure to go.
Here is our beloved Mary…a little lamb with a great big heart and an even bigger problem…her back legs aren’t working correctly.
Mary was born in Oklahoma…she is a lamb from the sheep tribe called “Kathadin”.
Mary is special and she knows now “how special she is”.
She has “special needs” just like humans who are handicapped. Mary cannot use her back right leg which has led to her other back leg being affected.
I drove to Childress, Texas to pick Mary up and bring her to our Sanctuary.
Mistie, her first mom, brought Mary to Childress from Oklahoma in order for us to bring her back to Colorado and try to remedy her situation with her back legs. MIstie described Mary as a "Little Light" ...a light that shines from her eyes.
Mary’s good back leg became weaker and weaker with all the weight she used to move around each day.
We put her companion Kathadin lamb, Susie Q, that we also brought back from Oklahoma so she wouldn't be alone with her in a special pen in the back yard of our Sanctuary. We let them out each day to go and roam around the back yard eating on grass, weeds, and any other morsel that they found to be tantalizing.
Susie Q and Mary were doing well except that Mary was getting weaker in her back legs so that she wasn’t as able bodied as she had been.
I contacted a company that makes “wheel chairs” for many different types of animals to include sheep like Mary…this company can even make a wheelchair for a “turkey”…can you believe it?
They shipped me an electric blue cart with black wheels for Mary overnight and we received it just in time.
Mary had started to succumb to her inability to walk around. She was tired and fatigued to say the least. But when the wheel chair arrived, something beautiful happened. She perked up with hope.
Mary loved her new way to travel from the very beginning. She took to the wheel-chair cart like a baby lamb to milk.
We watched her confidence come back.
We noticed her will to live and succeed come forward. She actually loved the fact that she was able to move around the back yard unencumbered by her handicap.
Right away she took to her wheel chair and started loving her freedom that was created by the cart.
We loved watching her move around the yard…freely, happily, painlessly…she loved her new life that the wheel-chair cart brought to her.
Susie Q, her companion sheep, was so happy she jumped for joy as she observed Mary, her friend…the Little Lamb, moving about the yard like she had been unable to do before.
Susie was happy for her friend, Mary, that she was free now to experience the back yard with her.
They spent all afternoon munching on many different kinds of weeds and grass.
Mary tried several areas to get through with her cart and guess what? She did it.
She was actually having fun seeing what the cart could do and where it could go.
We have to thank “K9 carts” for their diligence in making carts that work for animals to have a pain-free life as they move about in their freedom.
I had talked to several veterinarians and other companies that had no solution before I found Barbara at K9 Carts. The vet bill and care would have been in the many thousands of dollars without any promise for Mary.
I want to do everything I can to make Mary's life better but only have so many funds to allocate to each of our resident animals so I am asking for your help. She will need bigger carts as she continues to grow, leg braces, and other veterinary care.
I want to do my best for Mary.
I also am handicapped so Mary and I have lots in common.
I don’t know how long Mary will stay due to her condition but with your help I feel she can have a quality of life that she deserves.
The words on the Babe Soundtrack epitomize what I feel for Mary, our little Lamb…
“If I Had Words” (Farmer Hoggett from the movie Babe)
If I Had Words
If I had words to make a day for you,
I’d sing you a morning golden and new
I would make this day last for all time
Give you a night deep in moonshine
Will you help fund Mary with whatever amount you can give so we can continue to give her as good a lifestyle as we can here at the Sanctuary?
Mary, Susie Q, and I thank you for helping Mary with her "special needs".
