I've raised £500 to help The Animal Friends of Turkey. This group rescues animals with little or no future from Turkey and find them forever homes in the UK.

I’m tough as old boots as everyone who knows me will tell you but this moved me to tears hence why I’m trying like mad to raise funds. Nishe has a deformed leg due to it being broken at least 3 times and has received no veterinary care. The pain she must have endured in unbelievable. Her bones are so brittle and she has an eye disfiguration which the vets believe is the combination of malnutrition and possible due to being in a darkened room for much of her early life. The stunning thing is that despite the extreme crueltyNishe has experienced, she is so loving.
