Guest Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 hope it's okay to post this here, it just broke my heart to think of those poor girls on their way to freedom and this happens! I'm donating and I'm sure many of you would like to do the same... message from the charity... "Little Hen Rescue are in desperate need of donations. Yesterday one of the 4x4 vehicles and it's trailer transporting newly rescued ex battery hens was involved in a freak accident resulting in the A14 being closed. Please, even if it's £1 go to their website and donate all you can. LHR wouldn't normally ask but it's c...rucial to be able to feed the surviving injured hens - they cannot be rehomed yet for obvious reasons. Thank you xx"http://littlehenrescue.co.uk/help.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippy chick Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 That's dreadful, what a horrific thing to happen. Poor girls so close to freedom and their new life. I feel gutted for them. I'm going to donate, and i hope that they manage to save some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Oh how terrible! My school is having a non-uniform day on friday, where we are allowed to go into school wearing whatever you want, as opposed to school uniform, in return for donating £1 to a charity we choose. Hopefully, if I can persuade my class to choose LHR as our charity, I might be able to raise £25+ for them. Thanks for the post and for raising awareness Poet.

Guest Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 what a great idea, well done! I couldn't not let you all know as, like me, I knew you'd want to do everything you could. Such a heartbreaking thing to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Tilytinkle Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Bless my 17 year old, we were talking about this accident then I showed her the website & she almost cried (again) at the little chickens in the knitted jumpers. She's in the middle of her A levels but she's going to try to collect any donations from her friends in 6th form MsTilyisenjoyingsomeElderflowerCoridal thenaughinessandcoffee&cakeorfruitypimmsvicewillreturnlaterhehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 is google safe...? I've paid for things with Google Checkout before and had no problems I wondered why they weren't accepting donations on justgiving.com nor asking for Gift Aid and their website says they're a limited company, not a charity (as it gives added security - not the first time I've come across that, Monkey World in Dorset is a company too).

Hens@HalfMoonLane Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks poet, I put a cheque in the post this morning. It's so sad, they must be exhausted looking after all these extra hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
