We are already into June and usually we have had guests visiting, bigger donations and just more hope for the continuation of this mission. Don’t get me wrong, there have been bursts of hope, but then nothing. The way my brain works is that it’s something personal against me and what I’m trying to accomplish for the community. I had envisioned this place to help those that fall through the cracks of the system or don’t want to go through conventional mental health services, or who just have nowhere else to go, like myself. Perhaps the disconnect is with the animals that I am bringing to the animal assisted programs? Or maybe there is a disconnect with what the mission is? I’m just not sure and although I know I have mentioned that we are up against a brick wall with finances, I’m not lying. And I know it’s tiring to hear about a nonprofit asking for money. We are not the normal nonprofit though.
I knew a gap needed to be filled for people who are going through similar situations like I did and am. I took it upon myself to proceed to build this place with no support, no assistance, no big money behind it. My instincts tell me to give up and to take flight, that’s what I’ve done in the past when things are too hard, and things are so hard that it is too overwhelming at times. The problem is that I can’t fly with all the weight of those who are counting on me. Even if it’s a few of you out there and of course the animals. These animals would not have the life that they have anywhere else, or any life.
