To our loyal and new followers, this is a post we really didn’t want to write. However, we’ve just had a board meeting and we have no choice but to put it all on the line tonight.
It’s Bridie Smith and Jenny McDonald here, President and Vice-President of this amazing rescue - Mini’s Bulldog Rescue Club. We, with the help of many amazing volunteers have dedicated our lives to saving precious bulldogs facing their darkest hours. It’s what we do best and to be honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
However, tonight is the night we ask for your help. We urgently need to get the financial position of Mini’s Bulldog Rescue Club under control.
Our inbox has not stopped pinging and our phones have not stopped ringing over the past few weeks. Actually that is an understatement. Foster carers have had no rest. 2am emergency vet visits, difficult conversations with specialist vets, calls for help on weekends and public holidays, it has not stopped.
The vet bills have built up every day beyond what we had budgeted for and as we’re writing this we’re stressed about getting these back under control. We love what we do, we wouldn’t replace it for anything but the financial side really stresses us.
We’ve launched a number of fundraisers this year, but most haven’t met the total needed and this is stacking up, it is crunch time for Mini’s Bulldog Rescue.
It’s mostly eye specialist care and surgery that is needed. Patty and Coco have severe cherry eye, Bubba has severe entropion and Lola has an ulcer (and suspected entropion). They are all suffering from severe dry eye. And Terry needs BOAS/airway surgery. The list goes on. We need to help these bulldogs and so many more.
We’ve helped so many bulldogs this year, saved many lives, found amazing forever homes but tonight we have no choice. We desperately need these funds to continue saying YES.
Our team is dedicated. We will do whatever it takes. It’s our promise to you. We make a big difference to the life of each bulldog we help.
Tonight, we are asking for your urgent help.
We need to raise at least $25,000 to get our vet bills under control.
It’s just so important. This is our SOS for your help. We receive no government grants or support so every dollar that you donate goes straight to those pups and dogs in need.
Just $5 from each and every one of you would get us to our goal. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will help us so very much.
We;re really hoping and crossing everything that by morning time we will have hit our goal xxx
Let’s do this for Patty, Coco, Bubba, Lola & Terry and all those bulldogs that will need our help in the future.
Please donate now
