The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
ANOTHER 911 for 5 Mama Donkeys. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE NEW DONKEYS. These pictures ABOVE are ones you previously saved. We have until Sunday evening to make this happen!
We need to raise about $5000 to get these TEN lives saved. I have not seen the mamas, but were told they will most likely be foaling in the next month or two. This INCLUDES DELIVERY which is huge as fuel prices are insane right now and climbing higher almost every day. It is also wonderful as the truck is still not able to haul until repairs are done.
| We do have another Angel stepping up who says she will match up to $2500!!! Let’s save these Mama’s!! |
As far as the issues below, the one hay barn has been fixed, and we ended up with a much bigger load of hay than I was thinking. You are looking at about $4000 worth of hay, and I was budgeting for about half that. I am also thanking God that our hay guy is amazing!!!
Doc laid down 6 colts for gelding yesterday. Boy were they a rowdy bunch. Colts 2, Gate – 0, one panel – 0
However, minus the bent gate and panel, everything went great. The kids are doing well and no injuries. However, that will be another nice chunk of a vet bill, lol.
| So as usual, never a dull moment. For folks that don’t know, Google Donkeys killed for hides and you will see the horror in the numbers. |
Someone is trying to test my Faith. I know God has this, and I have faith in my Chilly Pepper Family to help us get this done. However, we have been slammed with emergencies all at once and I sincerely need your help!!
| 1. Honey Bandit was in a scuffle and injured during the storm and is most likely needing xrays on his shoulder. He seems to be feeling a bit better.
2. Grandma Gracie decided to split her head open above her eye. It was a decent gash and looked pretty dramatic. Had to call Doc on that one, but all is well and she is healing with zero damage to her eye. She is trotting around the yard like a little princess. Her eye is much better and she has been having a blast playing in the yard.
3. We had a serious wind storm which blew off most of the barn roof. Waiting for an estimate. It appears that alot of the metal roofing and possibly some plywood will have to be replaced. Right now it is kind of deadly if it comes off the rest of the way, so we cowboyed up and used the heavy duty tied down straps to hold it in place until it is safe to remove it.
4. Storm tore apart our small hay shelter. Estimate for that is $450 – YAYYYY REPAIRS COMPLETED. Also completed repairs on the other barn I didn’t know was damaged.
5. Truck needs 2 MAJOR repairs. So as of now it is sitting in the driveway. The parts for the first repair are ordered, and the estimate is $1940. This is absolutely critical as it is the Charge Air Cooler that needs replaced. Without this repair, the turbo will overheat and destroy the engine.
6. The 2nd Repair is the most expensive, but I have a bit of time to get that done. It is the Inner Timing Cover and the estimates are $5000 – $7000. This is the one I was trying to avoid and they did the outer seal but it did not work. It is estimated as 17 +/- hours of labor, which is why it is so expensive. Depending on where it is done, there is a 3 year warranty for parts AND LABOR, which is pretty rare to have the labor covered as well.
| 7. The stock trailer decided to not raise or lower, and I need to take it in as soon as the 1st truck repair is finished. We will have to find a way to get it up on the truck, most likely with a tractor. |
|
I simply HAVE to have a running truck and trailer to operate this rescue. All of our equipment is old, but we have cared for it diligently. Sometimes equipment just needs some love, and mine is screaming for help!!
| The good news is y’all covered the $2300 vet bill I just paid off, and the load of hay that is coming this week. THANK YOU!! |
Doc is scheduled to come out in May and we have 6 kids to geld.
I won’t lose my Faith, and even though there is alot going on right now, I know we can “git ‘er done”.
Due to a typo, we are short $1090 to finish matching funds and the new $500 matching funds for the extra $1000 needed to purchase these kids.
We are short $590 for the matching funds, which means we are basically short $1180 for the fund raiser. This means we can only get 1/2 a load of hay. We definitely need a whole load.
| THE BAD NEWS – When I was contacted about these 3 boys, there was a typo in the amount of the bail. The total was $2950, NOT the $1950 we fundraised for. |
| The $5000 was $2000 for the horses, $1000 for vetting and gelding these 3 and $2000 for a load of hay.
So we still need the $590 for the 1st matching funds
We have ANOTHER Angel who stepped up and is offering to match $500 to raise the additional $1000 I had to pay to save these kids. When you add up bail, paperwork and transporting with these hideous fuel prices, it is still not an unreasonable amount to spend to save 3 horses.
So the total needed altogether for 1 load of hay, bail and transport for these 3 studs, vetting and getting them gelded is $1090. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to save these precious lives. This has been one for the books with the additional stress, and I am so grateful they will not face being butchered alive.
For those of you are skeptical, like I am, I actually did see the invoice for these horses and the total was supposed to be $2950.
Please help now and share far and wide!! |
