Little Hill Sanctuary

So here it goes...

As many of you know our sanctuary has been flooded under several feet of rain and mud since December. The animals have been displaced from their pastures for months. And our property is in ruin. We need to move for the safety and security of the 100+ animals rescued from abuse, neglect, and slaughter we have promised to love and protect for the rest of their lives.

This week I shared that the farm next door has been listed for sale. And also I shared that although it would be the perfect solution to all of our problems it seemed like something that as a small grassroots nonprofit we could never afford.

But your response was overwhelming.❤️ You all were so incredibly positive that we could do this. That we could buy that farm. That we could get the animals to safety. That you gave me hope in a time when I have felt hopeless.

So at your suggestion we started a Go Fund Me. The goal is one million dollars. And although it seems unimaginable that we could reach that goal. You all reminded me that it is possible. It could go viral. And it could become the miracle that we need after so so many hardships.

A lot of you have supported us through this natural disaster. And so I do not want to ask you all to give too much. So I am asking you this.

We are calling this campaign One for One Million. Because we are asking all of our supporters and anyone who sees this call to action to give just one dollar. But we are also asking you to share our story with your friends, family, and followers and ask that they do the same. Give one dollar and share. We are hoping that a millions of humans can come together all over the world for the animals to make this happen.

Please be a part of this miracle and help it come true by giving $1 and sharing our story.

We never could have imagined the devastation this year would hold for the animals. The sanctuary has been decimated by two solid months of non stop floods with no end in sight. Everything is a disaster. Rain and hail has been coming down for 60 days. Everything is flooded. California has declared a state of emergency. And we still have weeks of rain ahead. We are in crisis mode. We desperately need to find a new safe forever property for the sanctuary.

The past years here we have done so much good. Saved so many lives. Changed so many hearts. And provided permanent life long sanctuary to hundreds of animals rescued from abuse, neglect, and slaughter. None of which we could have done without this land.

And although it has not been something that we have wanted to face, the reality is that this farm is just not safe enough for our Little Hill Sanctuary.

We urgently need a new farm that will be a safe forever home for our sanctuary and the 100+ rescued animals we care for. I know this is a big undertaking but I also know with your continued love and support for these animals together we can do anything.

We have been searching and there are so many amazing properties out there just waiting to welcome the animals and help us save so many more lives. We just need your support to make it happen. We need to raise a down payment to secure a new property as soon as possible.

This new land will be a sanctuary for all. Not only will we welcome so many more animals, we will also welcome our community through events, education, and expanded volunteer opportunities. It has been challenging to face the reality that we need to make this happen. But now that things are in motion we are so excited about the possibilities and all of the new lives we can save. We just need your help to make it happen.

The sanctuary is a disaster. Rain has been coming down for days. Everything is flooded. California has declared a state of emergency. And we still have weeks of rain ahead.

We are in crisis mode. We desperately need to find a new safe forever property for the sanctuary. But that will take time. And for now we just need to get through this winter without these floods completely devastating everything we have built for the animals.

Please give what you can to help us get through this catastrophe and on to something better for the animals here at Little Hill Sanctuary.

Little Hill Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit farmed animal rescue and sanctuary that seeks to create a more kind world through rescuing and protecting animals from cruelty, providing them with sanctuary and compassionate care, and combating speciesism through promoting veganism.

Late Sunday around midnight without warning a flash flood tore through the sanctuary. Many of the pastures flooded and we spent all night in the pouring rain bringing nearly 100 animals to safety on higher ground.

We are so grateful that no lives were lost and everyone is now safe despite some minor injuries. That is what is important. And that is what we are trying to focus on.

But the devastating destruction and property loss we have suffered is something we never could have imagined.

Fencing is damaged. Walls have been torn from buildings. Feed storage has been completely flooded. Tools, halters, pumps, generators, lumber and fencing supplies have all been washed away and replaced by so much littered trash from nearby roadways everywhere.

We have a lot of damage to assess and we have a lot of clean up to do. The losses will be in the tens of thousands if not more. And the rain still has not stopped.

Please help the sanctuary rebuild. We can not do this without our community of support. We need you now more than ever.❤
