Lifers have needs too. They need feet done, teeth done, special minerals. Wormer, just normal everyday needs. Hay, feed... Just because a rescue has been saved that doesnt mean the needs are over. That is when the real need comes to play. Isabell has been with Ohana now for almost 4 yrs. During the course of that time, she has had 6 surgeries, and deals daily with allergies, lameness, stiffness, and aches and pains. Izy is only 15 yrs of age, but because of her immune system being so compromsed because of her horrific past, she is about 25 in health. Dont get me wrong, she is healthy, BUT it takes a lot of time and monies to keep her this way. She is allergic to grass and grain. She is what us "rescuers" would call a lifer.  http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/woefully-neglected-and-sick-horse-rescued/1077952    (copy and paste link and read about Isabell)      There is no excitement or ASAP care of the SAVE needed for her, but she still has needs as well as the other lifers here..  We have horses that are ready for their forever home, but adoptions are down. Adoption fees go back into the rescue, and without them, we need Earth Angels help more then ever. It is the first of the month and this is when we budget the rescue's  needs. I have been sick since we moved in to here, and this has cost us an arm and leg and has cut into our budget...Can you help Ohana with Septembers budget?
