WINTER FUNDS DESPERATELY NEEDED 

Please read!!

We are in trouble, we need you to help us. Please!!! 


Running freedom farm comes at a extremely high cost, just running the farm without covering vets bills and foods comes in at around 10k PER MONTH!!! That’s just to keep the basic bills paid. A roof over the animals heads and hot water and electric. 


We want our animals warm, we want them to have heating on in their kennels and rooms…we’ve had the solar fitted but with the rising costs it hasn’t made any difference 💔 we are drowning in bills. I’m not afraid to say it as it is. Mum and I work every single day, all day, morning right through to night. We don’t get a break. We live hand to mouth, basic as it can come. The animals eat before us, they come before us in every way and that’s how we want it to be, but we also can’t deal with the stress of having no money, its taking its toll on us both. We’re only human. Since loosing Kris we’ve been blown out the water..all the winter prep we were planning evaporated, we’re totally behind and finically we are at the bare minimum. 


Our animals here NEED freedom farm, without it majority would 100% be dead..we have extreme biters, dogs that wouldn’t cope a day out there in the normal world. Dogs we have dedicated our lives too, we can’t let them down, we won’t. Times are hard we know that, we don’t want you to suffer by helping our animals but we have to beg..the begging bowl is out fully!! This is NOT for us, this is for the dogs!! They are the priority but it is up to us to keep them safe. If that means us begging for money then so be, I have zero shame. 


We’ve always tried to be as personal as we can be with you all, if you read mums book you will know the type of people we are. 

We do not pay wages, the only single wage we allow out, is to myself at the absolute minimum when we can afford, maybe every other month if we’re lucky..I then spend that on mine and mums food, any small personal bills we may have to pay and that is it. Literally. Every thing we ever can be lucky enough to have goes to the dogs. That I can give my word to you is true. 


We have a number of volunteers who have been to the farm and see how hard we both work every day, they can vouch for the fact we go without and we strive every minute of our lives to give our animals everything. We do absolutely everything ourselves. 


We have to have a regular income coming in, we need you please please to donate, monthly, one off, anything you could spare. 



I don’t know how we will survive this winter without any finical backing and that is the heartbreaking truth. 


We’ve set up this fundraiser which we’re desperately hoping will have a positive impact on the current situation we are in 💔.
