WHAT YOU’RE SUPPORTING
Every dollar supports our mission to provide hands-on transformative experiences through art, ecology & wellness.
The level of our ability to take action on these things depends on you!
Right now, we need to acquire the remaining 75% interest on the land the Straw House is built on.
$1,500,000+ = Completion of The Straw House Eco Wonderland
Despite the Straw House nearing completion, it will be destroyed forever if we cannot acquire full ownership of the property.
$1,500,000 might seem like a big goal; so let’s break it down …
If all 90,000 people who signed the petition to Save the Sanctuary donated $17 - the Straw House would be funded.
SO — DONATE NOW AND SHARE THIS MESSAGE!!
People have purchased single paintings, pieces of jewelry, mementos, cars, etc. that are worth more than $1,500,000. Donations to our cause will not be spent frivolously, but invested into what matters the most - a better quality of life for generations to come.
REMEMBER - This center will feed and house both PEOPLE & ANIMALS.
It will help us to preserve nature by creating an educational home for sustainability. The legacy will go on to impact thousands of lives for the better, and contribute to a cleaner and more creative future for all.
Thank you for dreaming this dream with us.
Together, we can make it real.
