Dear Lucky Lucy Supporters and Volunteers,
I thought I’d use this letter to dispel a myth! That myth is “Lucky Lucy is doing well so they must have a lot of cash”. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The great projects being currently being completed on the LLF property, have been funded by 2 or 3 private people and a number of companies that have generously given of their own money, goods and services for very specific projects. These projects are either aimed at enhancing LLF’s ability to deliver services to our ‘flock’ and the many abused and sick animals that will come to LLF in the future or enabling LLF to derive income from its property by operating business from the farm. We are privileged to have amongst us people and companies who are willing to finance these projects; however this money is absorbed 100% in funding these projects.
The monthly cash flow required to fund the running costs of LLF is around R200 000 per month. This money is accumulated via our Guardian Angel program, regular and generous supporters who donate on an ad hoc basis and the fund raising activities of volunteers and supporters. Every month we battle to make this required target and when the VET bills escalate due to severe abuse cases, we need to ask for specific assistance.
Please know that we really value your generous and consistent support and we are not complaining-this note is just to dispel the myth.
We look forward to seeing you all on the 8th of October! Blankets, picnic baskets (filled with your choice of food and drink!), you and the Kids. More details of the Sundowner Event to follow soon.
Kind Regards
Richard Green (Chairperson)
