Support Southern Journey After Devastating Fire
Donation protected
On Tuesday, September 10th our 501c3 Animal Rescue, Southern Journey Animal Rescue and Transport, Inc, experienced a devastating fire. The fire destroyed all of our equipment to help unwanted animals. We lost all of our crates, dog beds, bowls, stored treats, fencing supplies, runs, stainless steel cages, bowls and so much more. The fire also burnt and melted our Transport vehicle and now it will not work.
Thankfully, we were able to get all of the animals to safety before the fire spread to the kennel area and for that we are so thankful. But, we have lost 10 years of hard work and dedication in just minutes.
We do have homeowner insurance, however, the insurance is stating they will not cover any of the expenses lost that were associated with the Rescue or the animals. Apparently, you need a seperate "business policy" to cover those expenses. And, we did not have that type of policy. So, it is a complete loss.
We desperately need your help to recover from this massive loss of thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment to save animals.
We have saved over 10,000 animals and we won't stop now. God is good. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. We truly appreciate your help!
Update:
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support! We have increased the goal needs due to the unfortunate ruling from the insurance company. They are refusing to pay for ANYTHING including the building itself. So much was lost and the insurance news has left us even more devastated. With YOUR help we can build back even better and save thousands more animals due to YOUR donations. We will not let the insurance company win. Help us show them that ANIMALS LIVES MATTER ❤️
Let's do this! Share this far and wide! We love you all!
