Winter Food Appeal
Though the hot dry summer may have been lovely for lots of us, it has meant that the grass has stopped growing in our fields and we have had to feed the animals our winter store of hay. We now need to buy more hay to get us through the winter, but prices have soared with the demand.
The Fundraiser:
Hi, I'm Dolly - I am the cutest sheep at Lotus Lamb & Animal Sanctuary (shhh, don't tell the others, but I really am the cutest of them all!) I have 163 sheep friends here at the Sanctuary, along with horses, pigs, chickens, turkeys, a donkey and even a cheeky alpaca! We have all been rescued from not-very-nice situations. You may notice I have no ears, thanks to some rather baaaaa-d dogs....but the lovely Hayley at Lotus nursed me back to health, and now I am living my best life here at Lotus. All my animal friends and I will live out our days here, in peace and surrounded by love.
Unfortunately, the long, dry Spring and Summer may have been lovely for you humans, but it means we have had very little grass to eat! It also means Hayley has had to feed us all our winter hay already to keep our tummies full. Hayley says the price of hay has skyrocketed (whatever that means....) so she needs to ask lots of lovely people to help us out so we can have some yummy food for the winter. There are over 200 of us non-humans here at Lotus, so that's lots of mouths to feed.
Hayley says if we raise £10,500, that should see us through about 20 weeks, which will get us through the worst of the winter. She is good at maths, and says if 1050 people donated just £10, we would hit our target.
My hay-munching chums and I would like to ask you very very nicely to help us out - we do love hay, and we're sad to see that our pantry is empty. If you can help in ANY small way, we'd be so grateful and we'd give you a big sheepy hug if we could!
THANK YOU!
Love Dolly xxx
