Besida Fire

Feeling Grateful

Fuelled by strong winds, a man-made fire tore through our sanctuary, leaving our

grazing lands and camps utterly devastated. As we raced towards the inferno, our

trusting animals, instinctively wanting to stay by our side, attempted to follow,

compelling us to first secure their safety. Our battle was lost as the blazing firewall

engulfed everything we've built. Amidst the aftermath and smoke, our only comfortwas sharing tender moments with our precious four-legged friends, ensuring theirsafety as our dream was consumed.

Yet, from the ashes, hope emerged. The very next day, an incredible outpouring of

support b

egan, with donations flooding in and people rallying to help us keep this

Sanctuary alive. We're profoundly blessed and humbled by this solidarity and by everyone who has already contributed. While your generosity has been immense,

these cherished animal friends urgently need continued support to fully rebuild their home. Please know that any donation, big or small, directly contributes to securing

their future.
