Request for Donations 2.1

From Jim: Home At Last depends on donations to continue as a sanctuary. Without your support, there is simply no way for the 80 equines and assorted other rescues here to survive. Sometimes the scale of this place really sets me back a little. We feed almost 1 ton of hay a day. This is high quality horse grade hay. We feed about 100 pounds of sweet feed/Sr. equine a day. We pump 2500 to 3000 gallons of water a day for the herd. It takes diesel and gasoline to run the equipment. We haul our hay from North Chico, where it's stored in barns-around 80 miles round trip-6 to 10 tons at a time. The wear and tear, maintenance and upkeep is constant and expensive. Have you priced 10 ply tires lately? How about tractor lugs? We get no government funding. 100% of the donations go directly to the animals. There are no salaries, not one dime goes to people here. We have a vet bill, which can sky rocket, of about $1000 per month. If you add this up, it's over $100,000 a year. Our donations fall short of this amount by a bunch. The folks that donate are such angels to these critters. We Need More Angels! No Kidding! Please send along a few dollars so that we're able to keep going with this effort. PayPal is right on the blog site. Our address is Home At Last, PO Box 4129, Yankee Hill, Ca 95965. The phone here is 530-514-1439. We're a 501c3, so your gift will be tax deductible. You can sponsor a horse, or mule, or donk, or one of each. You can help with vet costs or equipment costs. You can make a huge difference. I'm going to share some of our critter's stories in the future. I hope you will see why they are here as permanent residents. We are not a rescue-no rehabbing and rehoming. Our animals are really at their last stop. There just wasn't any other options for them. They sure don't deserve to die. Help us make sure that doesn't happen! Thanks.
