Many rescues are feeling the panic of this drought. Normally by now farmers should be getting ready to cut hay but most have nothing to cut. Last year's hay is dry and yellow, much like straw. Even that is hard to find and ridiculously expensive due to shortages. We at Touch of Grey Animal Sanctuary have increased our soaked pellet feedings to keep our equines bellies full. We are also buying bagged hay(expensive) to supplement the lack in the year old hay and adding more supplements. Even our grass fields are not growing as they should.
All of these extras to keep afloat are overwhelming to a budget that is already squeezed dry. Quitting on my family is not an option as I will keep them safe and cared for as long as the good Lord allows. These are problems that can be solved with more support. I applied for 8 Grants this year and all were denied. Being a small fairly new to the nonprofit world sanctuary is difficult. It's basically just me doing all the social media stuff and since the accident in February I have been well... Down. I got a good doctor's report yesterday although I have lost a lot of weight. Stress is heavy.
We are asking for your help to get through this crunch.
