A HELP post.

Soooo, with the help of regular donators here, I just paid off half of my 13 thousand dollar current vet bills. I now have 6 thousand to go. So grateful for the help of my regular donators helping me give real vet care to these chickens that they are entitled to.

What I need now is a little help paying off the next 6 thousand. If you're sceptical of helping a little sanctuary you don't know much about, please know that I've been committed to helping animals my whole life, but I've been taking them in and caring for them since 2011. I have 203 animals here. I am vegan and haven't eaten an animal since I was 15 years old (I'm now 48). I've been taking photos and telling the stories of animals for so long I can't remember when I started. My photography page is Tamara Kenneally Photography. Lefty's Place is all about giving these chickens a safe place to live out their lives after coming from farms or backyards full of neglect and abuse. I also have 34 sheep here, 3 horses, 7 cats and 2 dogs.

If anyone is moved to help, here's the details and thank you so so much!

After a busy morning dustbathing and composting, Freda demanded cuddles and put me in a choke hold! 😂🥰🐔

Molly and Kenzie had a wonderful time at the park meeting lots of dogs - Binkie, Ghost, Harley, Frankie and a few others. It was like Dogs' Day Out! Kenzie not so bothered about the dogs but VERY bothered about the cuddles from all the people she pinned down, by sitting on their feet! 😄🥰🐕‍🦺🐶🐩🐕🦮🐶🐕‍🦺
