When Trying Is Just Not Enough…
Sometimes when I get to my “rabbit hole” thinking in the wee hours of the morning while I monitor the ICU kittens I often wonder how I ended up here. What brought me to the place that can make you feel your work and effort is needed and at the same time break your heart over and over, yet still inspires me to keep going? Of course the positive impact we as rescuers have on the animal plight of this country must be noted, and it’s a testament to the power of compassion and kindness. We spend hour upon hour trying to make sure so many get a chance at a life, and although we may lose some battles, we win so many more.
The cruelty of life is thrown in your path on a daily basis when you take it upon yourself to look around your world to find those in need, but it’s in those moments that we can discover our strengths. Your mindset is “I must try and help no matter the outcome” and that’s what makes us heroes. The outcomes may sink in and the losses may add up, but they also make us more resilient and more determined to keep going. Still you do your “what if’s” and “if only’s” but you know there really are no answers, only the chance to try again, and that’s what makes life so precious.
💔“LOVE DEPARTED”💔 Rest easy little Rhubarb you were very loved and your memory will live on.✝️🙏🏻
Rhubarb was not as fortunate to make it through his bacterial pneumonia like his little sister, Salt. We tried everything we could, and although we lost him, we know that we gave him the best chance at life. Rhubarb ended up at AERC for advanced care, and we are grateful for the time we had with him. We unfortunately have a large ER bill which is part of the ongoing costs of saving lives. Today we will be trying to raise dollars to help pay for Rhubarb’s care so we can continue to help others in need in Rhubarb’s memory. Give if you can, any amount helps, and know that you are making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
