Help with a Sanctuary tractor
Hi everyone! My name is Deanna and I am the founder and primary caretaker of the gang here at Hearts For Hooves Sanctuary. (Some of you may also know me as a wildlife rehabilitator for NEW ARC, because, well, all I do is save animals).
HFH is a small sanctuary with big hearts, and my goal is to provide a safe place for unwanted and rescued farm animals to safely live out their lives, free from fear and pain. I provide the medical care they need for their bodies to heal, and most of all, I provide the love, patience and kindness they need for their minds to heal and learn to trust and love again!
HFH is a 501(c)3non-profit that is all out of pocket. It is solely funded by my real, full time job as an Animal Control Officer, and by generous donations from you, the wonderful people who also care about the lives of these animals!
As the number (and size!) of residents has gotten bigger, so has the need for some larger equipment to handle a lot of the tough, manual work around here.
Our current residents are 2 HUGE holstein steers, 4 donkeys, 2 goats, 11 pigs and a blind rooster!
I have worked with Ahearn Equipment to luckily be able to finance the desperately needed Kubota tractor pictured above. It is going to be a game changer getting things done quicker and more efficiently around here! (Not to mention saving my aching old bones ). There is a lot of mucking out to do in paddocks and run-ins and more pens to be built!
It is a large expense, (approximately 30,000...ouch!) It's basically like having another car payment, which means it will make it a little tight around here on things like other supplies, hay, grain and vet care.
So I'm asking you to share this far and wide, so maybe we can get just a little to go towards the tractor to help offset the total price? Everything that comes in will go directly towards the price of the tractor! Luckily the financing was for 0% so no extra has to go to interest and every little bit will help lower the amount coming out of pocket.
I know it's a big ask, and I have only set the goal at a third of the tractors cost, but I'm hoping we can share this far and wide. If a lot of people can give even a little, it'll all add up! Your support is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks, Deanna and the gang!
So please, share the heck out of this!
