We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for helping to support the horses of Hanaeleh during this difficult time. First of all, yesterday we reached our fundraising goal- and in 12 days! There are so many people who donated, and we want to thank you SO very much. Thank you also to all of those people who help to sponsor the horses every month- we really depend upon your support to continue to provide the excellent care we are able to give to these wonderful animals. We have had to cancel both of our in-person fundraisers this year, and with the uncertain times in which we live, knowing that people are still supporting the horses really helps to reinforce our faith in the goodness of people.
We also want to thank all of our regular volunteers who come out and work SO HARD. Because of the virus, we are not accepting any new volunteers for the next few months, so a lot of the work has been placed upon our regular volunteers. They have stepped up and work so hard every single week- and with the rain, the work has been wet and mucky (read: heavy and gross).
Thank you again to everyone who helps keep Hanaeleh running, and who help us care for the horses! We could not do this work without all of you!
