You can honor or remember loved ones when you donate.
You can support animals and/or students motivated to learn & work.

These options may provide context:

$1 per day is a simple and meaningful option to support an animal because it is the estimated average daily cost for dogs and cats–or our goat and pig (daily dry food, wet food, water…weekly cleaning…utilities…).

$5 is the daily average for ponies or donkeys and

$10 for horses–food, labor, vet care… (boarding a horse you buy often costs $250-500 monthly plus vet care).

You can sponsor an animal or group monthly, give where the need is greatest, partner for the next generation, or choose any of these callings:

1. Food for horses, ponies, donkeys, dogs, cats, goats–sponsor monthly or donate as you wish via your bank card or PayPal.
2. Programs to help students experience & education to develop character traits courage, compassion, patriotism…supporting teachers & parents.
3. Free online materials for teaching character traits–Alabama mandated to teach 25 character traits over 25 years ago.
4. Speaker or teacher for schools, civic clubs, patriotic organizations or provide resources to their schools, teachers and speakers….
5. Help caregivers with spay and neuter, emergency food…to get dogs off chains and/or feed rescues or feral dogs and cats.
6. Services to other nonprofits, such as donate food and fencing….
7. Rescue work with law enforcement for animal cruelty and public safety plus advocacy for improved laws and education.

our animals, our people, our world need more compassion

Compassion is the world’s only hope.  Compassion is the recognition of the needs or suffering  of another and doing what you can to help meet those needs.  To alleviate suffering. Or pain or distress. It is empathy.  Compassion is vital in families, communities, institutions, and governments. It is the Golden Rule.  Learn to care about the least of these (animals), and we cannot help but care for others.  –Terry Slaughter
