Hey guys! As of yesterday I have begun to put together plans for an auction to benefit a wonderful bird rescue here in Kansas City. Already several awesome pony customizers from the community have volunteered to help by donating a custom, and I am so excited for us to be able to share with you what they create to help this cause.
The rescue is run by an avian vet and her assistant, who have been tending to birds needs on all levels for years. In addition to helping owners who can sometimes not afford procedures for their pets, they also volunteer whenever they are needed at natural disaster sites, puppy mill siezure cases, and any other place they might be needed. They almost always return home with more birds in need [and sometimes cats and dogs too!] They take in several hundred birds a year, who have been abandoned or surrendered...Often helping with injured wild avians and raptors as well.. These people are amazing!
Recently they won a grant from Pepsi that has allowed them to start work on an addition to the house [the Doctors house is also their clinic, and the location they keep their fosters at] that is going to be deticated solely to their fosters, and will allow them to house more birds than ever before! They have one final payment of $5000 dollars to make before construction can be finished and the addition is ready for the residents to move in, and I'm hoping to help them towards reaching their goal, with your help!
If anyone would like to donate something towards the cause, please contact me via pm! Right now our central theme seems to be custom pony work, but artwork and crafts of any kind [preferably birdie themed
], or commission vouchers, bird toys or cages and supplies, other items of value that could be auctioned off, are all welcome and greatly appreciated.
This auction will be held sometime in the next few months, and I will be sure to keep you all updated! In the mean time I just want to say thank you so so much to the people contributing their time and efforts to this, I am so very grateful to know such wonderful people!
