Hi, my name is Maisie (or MJ). I’ve created this GoFundMe to support my dear friend Renee, a dedicated wildlife carer in South East Queensland.
For the last 18 months, Renee has opened her home and her heart to injured and orphaned native animals — kangaroos, wallabies, birds, possums… if it lives in the bush, she’s probably nursed it back to health. Her days revolve around bottle‑feeding joeys, building safe spaces, and giving every creature a second chance on top of her 9-5!
A few days ago, tragedy struck. A pack of wild dogs broke into her kangaroo enclosure, killing every single one — including joeys she had been raising for months and were only weeks away from release. The loss has been devastating. These animals weren’t just wildlife in her care; they were her family.
As her friend, my heart is breaking for her. Renee has been working tirelessly on renovating a small flip‑house so she can eventually move to a safer property and build permanent, secure enclosures for future rescues. After this heartbreaking setback, I want to help her get there sooner.
Every donation — big or small — will go directly toward helping Renee finish her renovation and relocate to a property where her future fur babies can have the safe, protected environment they deserve.
Thank you for taking the time to read her story and for supporting someone who has spent her life supporting our wildlife.
