What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Story
For many years now, we have wanted to help animals. We donate to charities, have a dog from a rescue centre, and generally try and do our bit.
It's dawned on us though, that we have overlooked some of the most in need. The animals that provide for us on a daily basis, that go through so much, and are then discarded at the end of their usefulness.
It first began when we saw laying chickens, being sold off for £1 each in a desperate bid to stop them going to slaughter. We couldn't do anything, we only have a small garden, certainly not enough space for a few chickens.
So we've decided to try and raise some funds to buy some land, to give some former laying eggs, perhaps a sheep or two and possibly a dairy cow somewhere to retire to, somewhere to call home, instead of the grim reality of a cold abattoir.
Our plan is to expand in the future, with a larger space and more shelters, but initially, and realistically, we would be looking at purchasing 4 acres in the Oxfordshire area. We can manage this and support it. We will also be registering as a Charity once large enough, but for now, we would like to keep things small with a smallholding close to home, that we can manage ourselves.
Thank you so very much for considering donating, and for reading this far. Feel free to contact me with any and all questions!
