Edgar’s Mission lamb Kansas is calling on kind humans to join her today, November 28, for Giving Tuesday, a global movement of generosity.
Not-for-profit Lancefield sanctuary Edgar’s Mission rescued the lamb after she was found covered in mud, with her tail partially chewed off and unable to move.
Sanctuary founder Pam Ahern said although Kansas was critically ill, volunteers never gave up hope that one day she would walk again.
“Although there were many signs that Kansas may not make it, she refused to give in and so did we,” she said.
“With the aid of a little wheelchair, Kansas grew stronger each day, and eventually her first wobbly steps turned into a joyous run.”
In the past year, Edgar’s Mission has reached 455 million people on social media by sharing the stories of every animal it saved.
“It is through this that we echo the plea of mercy for millions upon millions of farmed animals who will never know kindness,” Ms Ahern said.
“With every story told, like that of Kansas, our work is amplified as hearts and minds across the globe are being transformed while we inch ever closer towards a kinder world for everyone.”
On Giving Tuesday, Edgar’s Mission is calling on kind hearts to help more animals like Kansas have a life worth living.
“We have set an ambitious target to raise $221,000 to cover our annual food and bedding costs for our 400 rescued residents, plus the hundreds more who will pass through our sanctuary gates and find forever homes,” Ms Ahern said.
Giving Tuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea – to create a day that encourages people to do good.
Over the past 11 years, this idea has grown into a global movement inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
“With the generous assistance of our wonderful community, we believe this miracle can happen,” Ms Ahern said.
