<div>My name is Jeanine Wittlinger, and for the past five years I’ve dedicated my life to rescuing animals who had nowhere else to go. I founded Gentle Acres Animal Haven in Fairfield, VA to give abused, neglected, abandoned, and special needs farm and companion animals a second chance at life.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the years, I’ve saved over one hundred animals, furry and feathered alike, including winged, hooved and those with four paws. Each of them has a name, a story, and a safe place here because of your compassion.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But today, I’m heartbroken to share that we are in danger of losing the sanctuary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve used every personal resource I have, I’ve sold belongings, my jewelry and cut every possible expense, but our funds have completely run out. Without urgent help, our animals may lose the only loving home they have ever known.
</div>

</div>
<div>This fundraiser is our last hope to:
</div>
<div>•	Cover the costs of feed, hay &amp; fresh
</div>
<div>produce for each of the animals
</div>
<div>•	Pay for veterinary care, emergencies
</div>
<div>and medications
</div>
<div>•	Keep our land and shelter secure for
</div>
<div>the souls who call GAAH home
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you give $1, $5, $100, or simply share our story with others, you are helping keep these animals safe and loved.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The sanctuary has always been about second chances. With your help, we can continue to give these animals theirs, as well as the ones who are waiting for someone to care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, and from Clementine, Benny, Pax, Winston, and all of our current sixty-six residents, and those who we have loved and lost, thank you for caring, for sharing, and for standing by us in this fight to keep our sanctuary open.

We advocate for eating a diet that is plant-based, a life of nonviolence, and for justice for the multitude of animals in factory farming and industrial animal agriculture. Gentle Acres Animal Haven will continue to work to create a kinder, more just world for ourselves, for our environment, and most of all, for the forgotten animals.</em>
