Guest Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) there is an animal sanctuary that has been running for 22 years in the North East that is in trouble and faces imminent closure. The 200+ animals face being put to sleep unless money can be raised quickly. You'll find more details here. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?sid=b004fb9bb3e1a233605696157ab27122&refurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fs.php%3Fref%3Dsearch%26init%3Dq%26q%3Drainbow%2Bark%26sid%3Db004fb9bb3e1a233605696157ab27122&gid=23772194229 But, one of the ways you can help is to buy their book called 'Norah A Chicken' ...which is about a battery hen's journey to save other abused animals and take them to Rainbow Ark. just thought people could get themselves a nice Christmas present for any children in the family, plus help a good cause at the same time... please spread the word too if you can.

jackiepoppies Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Poet, Have ordered 2 books through Waterstones for Christmas pressies. Hope this helps a little, wish I could do more Jackiex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 thanks Jackie. I didn't realise Waterstones were selling them. I paid via the paypal link on the facebook site and then sent a message that I'd paid along with my details. I assumed they'd get more of a cut if I bought direct, I don't know?? I bought it for my niece for Christmas. I'm sure it all helps anyway. I hope they manage to raise enough to save it from closing, it'll destroy the lady that runs it if it closes, so tragic. Not only is it a sanctuary but special needs kids visit and see the animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiepoppies Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I tried an tried an tried to log on to your link, but being an (almost) total failure with 'pooters, I just couldn't find it.......love James' ceiling though Hence going to Waterstones Anyway, I know they probably won't get as much, but at least they'll get something. There are so many people/organizations out there that need help......I just CAN'T help everyone, but because I have a disabled son, I now explain to collectors why I choose to support associations with disabled links only. They (other associations eg Heart, RNLI etc.) have all been really understanding and I feel at least I have tried to give an explanation rather than totally ignoring people who give their time so generously.
