Heather House Appeal

From the volunteers of Almost Home NI
 
"Here we are once again, the start of another new week, new adventures, in rescue we just never know what a day will bring.
We have so many plans to give our animals the very very best.
I’m sure you’ve all heard about our wonderful Heather House a place we all love, a place of safety, of love, of warmth, of belonging for our older dogs who need us. A place of laughter, happiness and very often tears.
Let’s go back to where it all began
2014 we started fund raising, our dream to care for those older dogs that ended up needing rescue space, a home from home, they could leave their past behind and look forward to new beginnings.
One of our trustees Heather Law took over fundraising, events arranged and we began to raise our funds.
Sadly Heather died in May 2015, the one thing that kept us going was knowing that we could make our dreams and vision become a reality.
We began our building work and shortly after the 1st anniversary of Heather’s passing we opened our doors and welcomed our very first family members.
Our journey had begun.
I know heather would be proud of us, that a little part of her lives on.
We started off with 3 beautiful souls, today we are a home for 18 elderly dogs.
Everyone loved by a team of 40+ volunteers who give them so much.
Today and everyday we give thanks that we get to be a part of their lives.
They are so precious, so loved.
We have so many plans, a lot to share.
Our little house has seen over 100 of those most in need pass through. All loved, all cherished and always remembered.
It’s time for us to move, a bigger brighter heather house.
In order for our plans to become reality we are in need of your help.
We need to raise a massive £25,000
way above what seems possible, but we have already seen what happens when we all believe enough and dreams become reality.
We have seen the difference that everyone of you who supports, follows, donates and shares the stories can and have made.
Together we can offer these oldies a safe space, giving them beyond all they could ever wish for.
We are so excited to share their stories and the progress of our new heather house.
