There are some people you can never fully thank⌠but weâre going to try. đ¤
Today we want to take a moment to recognize our most steadfast volunteersâHope Duncan, Stevie,Lorii Lovern, and Taylor Hannahs
Hope has been with us since the early days. Not the very first, but part of that original foundation that helped build Flufflepuff into what it became. She has stood beside us through moments that feel impossible to even put into words, some of the highest highs, and some of the lowest lows.
When my mom passed away, Hope came over and quietly cleaned so we could focus on family.
When things got complicated, painful, and even unstable behind the scenes, she was thereâpresent, steady, and unwavering.
She didnât just help the rescue⌠she helped hold it together.
And Stevie⌠there truly arenât enough words.
Night after night, without fail, he was thereâchanging water bowls, feeding bunnies, sitting with them, playing with them, loving them. On the long days, the hard days, the days where everything felt like too muchâStevie stepped in and carried weight that most people would never even see.
He didnât just help⌠he showed up, over and over again.
Together, Hope and Stevie helped pick up the pieces during some of our hardest chapters and helped rebuild Flufflepuff into something stronger, safer, and more grounded.
Soon after, Lorii and Taylor came in during a time when we were at our lowest. They saw our hearts, they saw the rabbits, and they chose to stay. They gave everything they had, and together, we became a true team. Weâve done events, rescues, long days, hard nights and we thrived because of them.
I have always done my best to be open and honest, I live with mental illness.
Itâs easy for people to say they support thatâuntil they actually see it. Until itâs messy, overwhelming, real.
A lot of people walk away.
Hope didnât.
Stevie didnât.
Lorii didnât.
Taylor didnât.
They stayed through the good, the bad, the tears, the frustration, and the victories. They stayed when it wasnât easy. They stayed when it mattered most.
Flufflepuff Rabbit Rescue would not have existedâor survivedâwithout our volunteers.
From the bottom of our hearts⌠thank you. We love you.
