<div>Hi. My name is Debbie and I need your help.
</div>
<div>I have been running a Horse Rescue for 28 years. Our 1st Donkey arrived 6 years ago and our Alpacas arrived 5 months ago.
</div>
<div>We currently have 12 Horses, 6 Donkeys and 2 Alpacas.
</div>
<div>Over the years we have taken in over 100 Horses, some have found new homes but alot have been pts sadly
</div>
<div>I have completely self funded most of it with the help of donations and more recently, a Donkey Experience which helps fund us too.
</div>
<div>We will never turn an animal in need away but it's getting harder to do that atm.
</div>
<div>Hay is in demand this year with the recent drought. Farmers are getting a third of their normal crop and this means that hay price has gone up from £30 per bale to £65 per bale.!!! This price is expected to rise as winter gets closer.
</div>
<div>We have fed hay all summer so far, going through around 4 bales a week.
</div>
<div>We expect to go through 6 bales a week in winter!
</div>
<div>We have an amazing group of volunteers who give their time freely.
</div>
<div>We don't pay or receive any wages.
</div>
<div>We rely on donations of wood to build our shelters, flag stones for the animals to stand on and so much more.
</div>
<div>Our Donkeys have visitors from all walks of life from children to the elderly and disabled. They are calming, affectionate and help people in lots of different ways.
</div>
<div>They are true therapy animals.
</div>
<div>If you can help by sending even the smallest amount, it will mean we can carry on saving and looking after our animals and others that need a safe space to live.
</div>
<div>Thankyou
</div>
<div>Please help us to continue doing what we are doing!
</div>
