C-A-L-F cash

Vegans and animal-friendly people are rallying hard around C-A-L-F Sanctuary in North Yorkshire.

When it was announced that the sanctuary needed £80,000 to survive following an impending closure notice (yes, £80,000!), a lot of people felt a sense of doom for the animals housed at C-A-L-F. How was it going to be possible to raise such a huge amount of money?

With the help of compassionate people, that’s how!

C-A-L-F supporters have dug deep and at the time of writing this blog post, more than £40,000 has been raised for the campaign.

This is heartening. More than 50% of the target met means C-A-L-F can raised everything they need with a little more of a push.

Here is how you can help:

  • donate whatever spare change/cash you have to the campaign (if everyone who visited this blog in a month gave £1, the target would be met in no time at all)
  • make vegan cupcakes, sell them and donate the profits
  • do a collection at work, school and home for donations
  • sell some unwanted goods/clothes on eBay and donate the money
  • share this blog post far and wide
  • follow C-A-L-F on Twitter and Facebook
  • buy something from the C-A-L-F online shop
  • buy a gift for someone else from the online shop

Come on. The target is huge but not insurmountable if we all stick together.

Do it for the rescued farm animals who deserve a forever home.

We all have a friendship in life that is unaffected by distance and time. A person you have known for decades and another decade can pass without your relationship spark flickering in the slightest even though you don’t see each other as much as you would like.

Let me introduce you to Steven.

Steven has been an integral part of my life since my teenage years. To say our friendship has seen some outrageous moments would be selling it to you softly.

FGV & Steven many years ago
FGV & Steven many years ago

We have danced until daylight in tacky gay bars in Brisbane. We have supported each other through emotional turmoil and romantic drama. Steven has given me a place to live when I had nowhere else to go. We have laughed at and with each other. We have fought with each other. We have splashed through the surf under the blazing Australian sun. We have propped each other up and dragged each other down.

My life wouldn’t be what it is without this friendship.

Where am I going with this blog post? I am asking you to support Steven in his campaign to raise funds for Farm Sanctuary, the legendary rescue home for farm animals. This group has been advocating and educating for decades, giving comfort to countless creatures.

Steven and his husband Nate are taking part in the Walk for Farm Animals fundraiser in San Diego and I would be so deeply moved if readers of my blog could help them reach their fundraising target of $1000. I am incredibly grateful and appreciative that one of my dearest friends is taking action for animals. It would make me proud to know we helped Steven and Nate help animals.

Please click here to donate to their fundraising effort. Your money will directly help improve outcomes for rescued farm animals. Make sure you leave a comment on their team page saying hello from FGV!
