Hey, Bluesk Peeps! Today is Giving Tuesday, the last day of our fundraiser for @littlewoods.bsky.social Anything you feel like giving to this small but powerful sanctuary I'll match dollar to dollar up to $6300. #animalsanctuary #givingTuesday #rescueAnimals #stopspeciesism
Yesterday I asked if we could hit the halfway mark, and you all said ok! We soared past halfway to 2/3 of our goal! Who thinks we can raise the remaining $2,180 to hit our goal by the end of the week? We can’t thank Melani enough for matching all donations dollar for dollar! Let’s hit that goal!

Hi everyone! 👋 Just joined and have no idea what we’re doing on here yet. We’re a nonprofit animal sanctuary in Central Michigan focused on caring for neglected, abused, and at risk animals.

This is our largest annual fundraiser, and thanks to Melani your support once again has the ability to be twice as impactful! Last year we were able to hit our match goal and raise a combined $12k! Can we do it again?

When we launched the fundraiser yesterday I misspoke and said Melani is matching every donation up to $6,000. But she is matching everything up to $6,300 so we can raise even more than last year! Thank you so much to everyone who donated yesterday and got us off to a strong start!

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.
