From Kendra Bond:

 

Our journey has had some twists and turns - we are so grateful now to be back on the path of saving more animals. As many of you know, we had a neighbor who wasn't happy with what we were doing here. We have been in a legal battle for the last few years about this property and not able to save more on this property. 

 

We had considered merging with two different farms, but at almost 70, I need my devoted volunteers and many were not willing to travel. It was looking to be quite difficult. So for a number of reasons I began to look locally.  

 

I reached out to someone who is very close by with a little farm, who has rescued many animals. I had worked with Toni's mom, Joan, and her horses when I was in my 20s. I've known this farm for many many years. It is an awesome, quaint 6 acre farm with a cute little barn.

 

Well, Cheryl, one of our biggest supporters happens to be related to Rick. Another awesome connection! Rick and Toni are awesome people and fit right in with our awesome community. They're are as happy to have us as we are to be in their barn. 

 

Now that we have landed, our goal for the rest of the month is to train the volunteers and to help all the animals settle in and make sure everyone has what they need. We still need to clear things out, take fences down and do a lot at the old farm. 

 

Then we can begin to work on creating a space to rescue a donkey or two, depending on whether we rescue a mom with a baby, a pregnant Jenny or two babies. 

 

Our goal is to continue to take you on these journeys and show you why donkeys are very special and why we should not allow the abuse of any animals. We hope to educate  and give you the wisdom that we have gained to help you better care for your animals.

 

As you have noticed through this time, we have not been doing a lot of fundraising. We have been depending on our monthly donors to help us to feed the animals. I have been studying and learning how to create videos that can support the Rescue in new ways. I have also been moving a farm and my home. My Sister has allowed me to be on this farm and save these animals for the last 15 years and during that time, I have rented my own home in order to pay my bills to be able to save animals. I have never been paid for rescuing. My little beach home is only about a mile and a half away from our new Peace for All Animals Farm. It is important that I go home and get my home ready to sell at this time and it also gives me opportunity to write my book, and to get all of my photographic images in order so they can go into a stock agency. My goal is that those images will support the Rescue in the future. It is time for me to make sure we have a strong foundation to continue. 

 

I'm building an awesome foundation for this organization so it shall continue to educate and help people with their animals. My goal in the future is to teach more about holistic medicines that work,  are cost effective and easily obtained. 

 

I have created a YouTube channel, and that allows us to reach out further and further to people! Together, we can make the changes needed to support Animals, and ensure that the Abuse is stopped. 

 

We hope that you will join us as you can see from my videos on YouTube. I try to bring the joy of rescue to the public through my stories, images and videos. 

 

Stay tuned we have lots more to share!!!
