HELP NEEDED

for Farm Animal Rescue

Can you help Farm Animal Rescue raise $50,000 to help www.farmanimalrescue.org.au FarDayboro
them to continue to care for their animals over the next
six months, while they navigate the uncertainty and work
towards opening their gates to the public once again in
2018?
The not-for-profit organisation has been disallowed from
opening their gates to the community by the Queensland
Government until urgently needed roadworks at the front
of the farm commence.
The road is owned by the Queensland Government, and
whist this issue has been flagged, no funding for the road
upgrade has been allocated by the Government at this
stage.
FAR has been under severe pressure, forced to close their
gates and suspend their popular Open Days which have
been vital to raise community awareness about the lives
of farm animals, and to raise funds to help care, feed and
shelter their animal residents, following the Queensland
Government’s demand for FAR to pay $300,000 to
upgrade the State owned Dayboro Road at the front of the
farm. State Goverment election promises may assist the
situation down the track, however FAR’s immediate future
is uncertain.
The government’s indefinite Visitor Ban remains until the
Dayboro roadworks commence, which could be anytime
from 6-18 months.
FAR needs to raise $50,000 to continue to care for, feed
and shelter our farm animal residents over the next six
months. This will also enable them to utilise their small
cash reserve to help get the roadwork started if required,
instead of having to sacrifice the operating costs that
support their animals.
FAR’s mission is to create a compassionate world. Five
years’ young, they’re only just getting started. Please help
to support their animal residents by helping keep their
sanctuary open with a donation.
$2,010 was raised in the first 24 hours of their crowd
funding campaign - if they can raise this amount daily between now and the next 30 days, they will exceed their
$50,000 target to help FAR continue to care for their
animals over the next six months.

FAR would like to say THANK YOU to all of the generous people who have already donated!
You can donate as little as $5 to this wonderful cause at - https://chuffed.org/project/save-farm-animal-rescue
