Lurch has been accepted into a Pig Rescue Home in Indiana where she will have her own caregiver and Vet and a Vet Tech who is already working on a program of rehabilitation. for her.
There comes a time when I must lean on a friend and this is a good position for this little pig.
But I need help. And you know how I hate to ask for help. 
SO! I have launched a T Shirt crowd funding campaign – this will give you the opportunity to help me give a donation to this registered non profit Pig Rescue Home plus enough left over to cover the sisters medical expenses. (Just the Four bags of milk replacer was almost a hundred dollars!) The site is called TeeSpring and we used it for the Sheila T shirts. I will work out how to relaunch the Sheila T shirts for you after this campaign. But I would like to help Lurch on her way first.
TeeSpring is a fundraiser site that enables me to set this up without paying anything at all from my own farm pockets and I lose nothing if they do not sell. I hope they sell. I hope you can help.
This fundraiser has to have a goal which I have set at 75 (this makes them a wee bit cheaper) . Though I would love to sell more. Once that goal is reached and the campaign is over (we have 11 days) the shirts will be printed and sent directly to you. If the goal is not reached and we do not print them you will not be charged.
But I hope we succeed. I want us to exceed the 75. Wouldn’t that be great!
Here is what I have written in the description section on the page.
Lurch is a three week old Hereford piglet, she and her sisters were raised from birth after a disastrous farrowing. Boo, the dog pictured with the piglet has kept Lurch company right from the beginning. Lurch suffered from a head injury that left her unable to walk for a while but now, at three weeks old, she is lurching about a little and is well enough to go off to a pig rescue home for rehabilitation. The Fellowship of the Farmy are raising money to help pay for the medical expenses for her and her surviving sisters and a donation to the pig rescue home who will continue with her care. See thekitchensgarden.com for more.
THE CAMPAIGN IS LAUNCHED! Here is the site for you to go to.
(The T shirt has that very sweet picture of Lurch leaning on Boo as she walks around him. With the words Lean on a Friend. And there is text n the back too. Go and look and let me know what you think!)
Go to this link or key in TeeSpring FortheLoveofLurch.
Many of you have offered to help with Lurch but are too far away, I hope this is a good way for you to get involved.
Now, I must go and wake her and give her the second early morning bottle, then start my day. The lady comes at 9am this morning, (I will take pictures) I will miss Lurch awfully but this gives her a real fighting chance – sometimes we have to let someone go so they can lurch forward in their lives and she is a fighter. And hungry!
Much love, let me know if the link does not work or something awful like that.
I hope you have a lovely day,
Love celi

Great idea, I’m in!
Thank you Kim!! c
What a brilliant idea!
It is pretty simple to set up and hopefully will give Lurch (and Winston The tiny piglet who has gone with them too) a headstart.. c
I have a feeling you could probably have set your target at 100 and will probably reach it in the first two days 🙂 Love both slogans. Laura
I hope you are right Laura – that would be marvellous.. c
C – I’m in! I shared on facebook this morning. So happy we can help you help Lurch! I think brother Bill would have approved too, so I bought 2 shirts, one is in his honor.
Thank you – take care of yourself this week.. c
Ordered mine
Thank you Patrecia. c
I’m in. What a good solution for Little Lurch’s problems and for you too, Celi. I’ll think of you all when wearing it proudly.
I hope they print well – I must order my own soon.. c
Best news to have for everyone involved! Happy piggie life Lurch 🙂
Love your picture of the clouds!!
Hope you meet your goal. The cost of shipping and the exchange on the Canadian dollar made it a little too dear for me.
Oh yes – that would be crazy – but you are supporting in other ways.. c
Amazing!
OH – that is wonderful news! I hope they keep us updated on the little things progress. I’m so happy to have a BOO shirt!!!!! Can I wear it for Halloween?
Yes! especially if you are dressed like a real LURCH!
Done.
Done and done!
Thank you.
