Calling All Angels...




From Jim: Back to asking for donations, and, even more, for sponsors. If you've already donated or "adopted" an animal, THANK YOU! If you haven't, please do. We follow many other rescues and sanctuaries from all across our nation, and several from other countries. We read their pleas for donations and truly appreciate their needs and the great work they do. We never see them as competitors. When they succeed, they help save deserving critters, just like we do. That's good! Where we differ from most is that our chosen mission is life-time sanctuary for our animals. They will never leave the care and embrace of Home At Last. They are home, at last. That means a life time of feed, no matter how specialized the diet, vet care-including life long immunizations and dental work, farrier care, some of which is pretty technical corrective work, and so on. It's expensive. Our support folks are generous and offer up discounts and donate freely of their time and talent, but the unavoidable costs are still significant. Three thousand, eight hundred friends and only a handful take the time to PayPal or mail a gift. I guess that's on me for not making clear how important this place is to the animals. Without us, they would be dead. Not maybe, not worse case, just absolutely certainly DEAD. That's just not right. It would be terribly wrong. These are wonderful creatures. They really do deserve a chance to live out their lives in peace and well being. Not one penny, ever!, goes to a human being as salary. Every donation-100% is used for the care and welfare of the animals. We do this with a happy and humble heart. We truly need your support-now and in the future. The herd's not going anywhere and they will always have a need for you. We cannot do this by ourselves. As strange as it sounds, I think that's a good thing. Your participation will be a chance to feel some of the joy and blessings we feel everyday. That's something we'd like to share with you. Our mailing address is Home At Last, PO Box 4129, Yankee Hill, Ca 95965. We're 501c3 tax deductible. I guarantee you that we will really appreciate whatever you can donate and that you'll feel good about it as you follow the lives of our residents. That's a promise!
