Healing ❤️🩹
We were so torn to see our beloved property at Buck Wild Rescue mangled by the flood this year. This place isn’t just a home and sanctuary to animals, but a peaceful retreat for people too. Our serene lazy creek was a raging rapid that night, it almost felt intentional the way it ripped away supplies and enclosures and swallowed up the ground. We lost so much, but no lives, and that’s what we’re most grateful for.
We thought this might be the end for us. We didn’t think this place would ever again resemble the peaceful safe haven we all once knew. With your support and encouragement we decided to push forward anyway to see what was possible, for the animals, and people, who need us most.
We are happy to share today what healing looks like. It is slow, it is hard, and it is expensive, both emotionally and financially. Things might not ever be the same, but with our goals and plans, we’re looking to come back even stronger than ever before.
We’ve had a lot of assessments done, and some land engineering is taking place currently. If we can get a little more help, our rebuilding plans may come to fruition. We can’t wait to share more about the journey soon…
Big thank you to our volunteer Ashley for sharing these photos at our rescue.
