This desperate message was left on a Facebook page that I belong to on the island of Mallorca in Spain where I live.

"Urgently need help to put up a fence for this new rescued sack of bones , who has some time or material to contribute as I need to keep them seperated (quartaine) They will arrive on Tuesday".

Along with a few other people I went along to see if I could help this lady to make a difference to these poor creatures' lives.

When I arrived at the finca, I meet Tegan who'd rescued the donkeys Tina and Claire and also the mule, Ludi(in the picture). I was the first there and then Michael and his family turned up 20 minutes later. We decided on a quick plan of action and we got to work straight away. Within a few hours the whole team of people who turned up had built the fence. It was truly amazing to see the kindness of complete strangers.

The fence is up but now Tegan needs to get Tina and Ludi back on their feet and this is where the expense starts with vet bills and feeding them.

Tegan provides for these animals from her own pocket and the odd donation and that is the reason why I'm doing this.

If you can provide anything no matter how small it will go miles to make their lives that little bit better.

She is truly inspirational!
