Y'all, I am in tears.. Justin made us a Star Wars tree and put a bunch of stormtroopers on it and Vader at the top. It was awesome.

I know people judge me for still being so deeply upset and grieving but I can't help it. Every day I wake up without him and I know what I am missing. They can think it's ridiculous but I can't help how I grieve him and I can't just stop.

In 14 days, this house goes up for auction.

This is the house where more than 5,000 animals got a second chance since April 2019. Ferrets, cats, dogs, and small animals — including the hospice cases and seniors nobody else will take. Dooks of Earl Ferret Sanctuary is 100% volunteer-run and on call 24/7, and this house is where it all happens.

To stop the auction, I must wire $25,373.62 to our lender by the morning of October 19th. We're raising $30,000 so that once the house is saved, the mortgage stays covered through the end of the year.

I'm $25,000 short, and I can't do this without you. Ten dollars from you — that's it. That's a bag of ferret food. That's a life.

Every dollar is tax-deductible. Dooks of Earl Ferret Sanctuary Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 88-0945277.

If you can't give, sharing this page with one animal lover is just as powerful. Thank you for helping me keep our doors open.

**Where the money goes:**
- $25,373.62 — loan reinstatement wired to PennyMac by Oct 19 (stops the Oct 21 auction)
- $1,797.78 — November + December mortgage ($898.89/mo)
- ~$2,828 — emergency cushion for the animals' care

I know you think why give a dollar, how can that help? Well let me tell you that those dollars add up to life saving vet care, food for the rescue animals, and all kinds of needs met, plus peace of mind for the rescuers and it happens faster than you can imagine.

This awesome kid came out to an event we were set up at. He said "this is my dollar and these kids are putting in a dollar to match mine cause I told them too"

Well that kid had four friends with him and so his dollar became 5 in a second.
"That's a bag of treats for the animals" I said, "they are going to be very grateful for your kindness."

So if those four friends went out and said "I put in a dollar and I want you to put in one too" to four of their friends

That would have been 21 dollars which would cover trash bags and paper towels for a week.

Four more friends each?
Now we are looking at $85 or enough for food for the week.

One more round of everyone asking a friend? Now we are talking about covering an adrenal implant (or medicine) for a ferret that saves the ferret's life.

Never think that you don't have anything to give or that what you do doesn't matter. It truly adds up faster than you realize.

When a rescue asks you to (like we are doing now)
Please Spare a dollar or some change, Care to like/follow their page, and Share with family and friends that this charity is important to you and ask them to also.

As you can see, Churo has been working super hard on these posts. Please show him you care. 💙
