GivingTuesdayNOW

The creators of GivingTuesday have created a new Giving Tuesday to help offset all the issues the pandemic has caused.


On Tuesday, May 5th, we will be kicking off the first #GivingTuesdayNOW.


I'm not sure what we will be doing on that day but we'll try to do some fun stuff. #GivingTuesdayNOW was created to help nonprofits help their organizations to great things during this crazy time. There are many nonprofits stepping up to help people and animals while we struggle to adjust to what is going on in this world.


We have not had as many request this year to take in horses but I think some of that has to do with the coronavirus. At some point, we could very well see an influx. I hate saying no. It breaks my heart and brings me to tears every time I weigh all the options and realize we have to say no. I hate saying no. I feel like I'm the one signing a death warrant for the horse when I say no. I want to say yes. I want to say yes to every horse but we have to be realistic with what funds and space we have at the Sanctuary.


So this #GivingTuesdayNOW we are going to campaign for sponsors for our horses. If we have sponsors, we'll have a possibility to bring in a horse that deserves a retirement home. No work, no worries, no stresses. Just eating, sleeping, and enjoying companions who may harass you but otherwise provide quality friendship.


Help us spread the word about #GivingTuesdayNOW and our goal to find sponsors for our seniors. It's short notice and everyone's schedule is super crazy right now. We may not get to promote any of the horses so if you see horses in pictures or videos at the Sanctuary you are interested in helping out (either a monthly sponsorship, partial sponsorships, or a one time gift), let me know at borderlandshorsesanctuary@yahoo.com.


Here's to a great first ever #GivingTuesdayNOW and if you want to help us promote or spread the word, PLEASE HELP!! We can use all the help we can get. Don't think you can help? Contact us anyway! We always have ways or ideas.
