I have already signed up to provide monthly donations. Please, those of you who can help please do. They are in such need of desperate help. Thanks...
======================= This is a plea for your help in whatever capacity you can offer as we are in a critical situation at Refuge RR. Please see attachment for details. If we do not receive massive support from people soon, the 20 years of saving, rehabilitating and in some instances placing hundreds of animals will have been in vain and the consequences will be serious. Refuge RR for Horses is a federally registered, charitable organization which rescues, rehabilitates and provides permanent homes for abused, neglected and/or abandoned horses and the only one of its kind in Canada. We are turning to the media to hopefully create public awareness and to receive much needed funding. It would be a great asset if you could publish get your local newspaper to print the content (or a summary) of the letter below in your newspaper! To reach us since phones are no longer working can be via: Rose [email protected] or myself [email protected]. Donations: http://www.refugerr.org/How-to-help/ or send a cheque to Refuge RR for Horses, 21305 Concession 10 Road, RR2, Alexandria, ON, K0C 1A0 ================== Dear animal supporters, Refuge RR, its horses, dogs, cats and other animals need your urgent help! With the overall economy over the past year, there has been a huge decline in donations, but yet a huge increase in animal emergencies. These animals were not sought out by the Refuge but were taken in because members of society failed them. As with dogs and cats, the number of abandoned or neglected horses is on the rise. We have always been proud to be able to come to the aid of all that needed it. However, with the current reality, it is no longer possible to further take in new animals at this time. In addition to the current situation, our water well has recently gone dry again, and as a result, water must be transported 3 times every single day from a neighbour and needless to say that adds many more hours of work. The Refuge is responsible for a total of 400 + animals which includes all kinds, small and large. Refuge RR urgently needs your help. If we do not receive a massive response from the public the animals and horses will no longer be saved and given a decent home. We urge you to help us help them! Please be generous and remember no donation is too small. A tax receipt will be sent for donations of $ 25.00 and up. You can make a donation electronically http://www.refugerr.org/How-to-help/ if the link doesn't work, copy it in your address bar) or send a cheque to Refuge RR for Horses, 21305 Concession 10 Road, RR2, Alexandria, ON, K0C 1A0 (please include your name and address if you wish to have a tax receipt). Thank you on behalf of all volunteers and the animals at Refuge RR. _________________________________________________________________________________ Chers supporters du Refuge, Le Refuge RR, ses chevaux, chiens, chats et autres animaux ont besoin de votre aide de façon urgente! Avec les conditions économiques, il y a eu une énorme diminution des dons tandis que les cas d'urgence d'animaux eux, ont augmentés. Ce n'est pas le Refuge qui a recherché ces animaux mais il les a accueillis parce que des membres de la société les ont laissé tomber. De la même façon que les chiens et chats sont abandonnés, le nombre de chevaux abandonnés ou négligés augmentent. Nous avons toujours été fiers de pouvoir venir en aide à tous ceux qui en avait besoin. Toutefois, étant donné la réalité présente, il ne nous est plus possible pour le moment de prendre d'autres animaux. De plus, dernièrement notre puits est tombé à sec à nouveau et pour cette raison, l'eau doit être transportée 3 fois par jour de chez un voisin, et ce, tous les jours. Inutile de vous dire que cela ajoute aux nombreuses heures de travail. Le Refuge s'occupe de plus de 400 animaux de toutes sortes, petits et grands. Le Refuge RR a un urgent besoin de votre aide. Si nous ne recevons pas une réponse massive du publique, les chevaux et autres animaux ne pourront plus être sauvés et obtenir un foyer décent. Nous vous encourageons à nous aider à les aider. S.V.P., soyez généreux et rappelez-vous qu'aucun don n'est trop petit. Un reçu d'impôt sera envoyé pour les dons de 25,00$ et plus. Vous pouvez faire un don de façon électronique http://www.refugerr.org/fr/How-to-help/ (si le lien ne fonctionne pas, copiez-le dans votre barre d'adresse) ou vous pouvez envoyer un chèque au Refuge RR pour Chevaux, 21305 Concession 10 Road, RR2, Alexandria, ON, K0C 1A0 (SVP inclure votre nom et adresse si vous voulez avoir un reçu d'impôt). Merci au nom de tous les bénévoles et animaux du Refuge RR. ------------------------------------ Thank you for becoming a member of the Help the Animals Discussion Group!
