The T Shirt Campaign is LAUNCHED

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
