Inspired by the incredible worldwide response to the catastrophic bushfires raging throughout the Eastern and Southern regions of Australia and the horrific loss of lives, both human and animal, I offer an opportunity to become involved in doing something really good for humanity, our animals and our planet.
By making a purchase from my store, you contribute to gifts that are given to those in need of a little help.
Size doesn’t matter, intention does.
This is not a fundraiser for a charity. What we’re doing here is joining a community of like-minded, big hearted souls who want to do something good for the sake of humankind. To purchase a gift for someone in need. Your purchase of a product contributes to that gift.
It’s that simple.
I’ve always believed that there’s a solution for every problem and therefore there’s nothing we can’t solve. Together we can reconnect and do amazing things!
Stella Reid - Owner and lover of all creatures
Sharon Bonnici - Wildlife Rescuers Inc and beautiful human
Dr. Alistair Brown - Veterinarian Angel with 2 gorgeous fur babies
Together they provide an exceptional level of love and care to all animals who are fortunate enough to land there. Once the animals have recovered and are rehabilitated, they are released to run wild again.
The hand reared kids stay and this is their forever home.
These amazing humans do such an incredible job; they’re a most inspiring team. But their job would be made far easier if they had the portable Xray machine they so desperately need.
That, friends is next level diagnosis and care.
Wildhaven is a private sanctuary which receives no funding other than public donations. Stella, Sharon and Alistair are all working for the love of our beautiful wildlife and usually pay for everything themselves.
The Xray machine is the final thing on the original wishlist which I started just 3 weeks ago, and I know I can get it for them, with your help.
If you’d like to be a part of this first collective gift, simply buy a T-shirt then head back to my FB post and leave a message saying “done”. Or you can leave a personal message of gratitude.
We’ll then have a list of every single contributor to this amazing gift so that Stella, Sharon an Alistair will be able to see exactly where it’s come from.
I’d also greatly appreciate it if you could like and share my post so we can get this done quickly and move on to the next gift.
Thankyou so much for connecting and becoming part of the force for change,
Love and Gratitude. Sarah xo
A heartfelt massive thankyou to all the fireys both paid and volunteers, all emergency service crews, police, ambos, support crews and drivers everywhere and those spending countless hours accepting, sorting and delivering donations of all kinds. It’s a mammoth effort and the scale of this is hard to comprehend.
And to all of you earth angels who are looking after our precious wildlife of all derivations, enormous gratitude and respect. Without you our animals would suffer and potentially be lost forever.
It’s an unimaginable concept.
Special thanks to the following people who have been incredibly generous and supportive since I started working with Wildhaven and the wishlist:
Jeremy McCristal for his incredible connection with the help of Aaron Hansen-every request I made for equipment was granted. Bloody legends!*
Sherridan Edward for creating and donating the beautiful images for our Tees. Check out her gorgeous Insta at matthew_5_13
Tony Bonner ambassador for The Gift Project for his amazing support and continuing the beautiful legend that is the iconic Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Insta at tonybonneractor
Corey Harper for his beautiful, soulful music, open support with no hesitation and Ireland Basinger-Baldwin for being in it with him. Insta at coreyharper
Rebekah Lee Ricardo for immense 24/7 support from the other side of the world and for pulling this together.
Finally, and most importantly, thankyou to Stella Reid, Sharon Bonnici and Dr Alistair Brown for the exceptional care all the animals receive when they arrive at Wildhaven.
You are a collective inspiration to the world and I am in awe! Xo
Transparency rant, ‘cause someone said I should!
I am not a registered charity and make no claim to be collecting for one. This is a private fundraiser by the sale of merchandise. If you choose to purchase merchandise from my store it is a transaction between vendor and customer. I am under no obligation to share any profit nor disclose how much money has been spent by customers nor where it is going.
I’m doing this because I see a need for help from a wildlife shelter, and a bigger need for change. If you’re in any way sceptical about this project, you’re in the wrong place.
Our wildlife are in trouble and there’s much work to be done on regeneration and repopulation.
I live by the philosophy that without integrity, we are nothing. My wish is to see an end to suffering and create change. Together we can do this.
End of rant!
