FRANCIS is a donkey destined for the
butcher’s.
Francis’ owner is in
financial difficulty and can’t keep the little donkey any longer. He turned to
the Italian horse rescue association alture.net for help because he can’t pay
for the donkey’s upkeep any more and is soon going to have to take drastic
measures. Francis is a medium size donkey with a lovely character although he
is a bit nervous.
It will cost Euro 400 to save Francis from the butcher’s – that is the amount they will pay for him and if you would like to contribute then please give your donation via PayPal on this page. Scroll down and look at the menu on the right hand side and click on "fai una donazione". They have about two weeks to raise the money. Mention in the subject line or message box this is to help Francis.
UPDATE: They have now raised enough money to save Francis! Hooray! He is shortly to be transferred to his new home. Any extra money over the €400 will go towards helping their many other rescued horses and ponies.
If you want to pay by bank transfer in Italy here are the details:
Conto Corrente Bancario – Banca di Credito Cooperativo di
Cherasco Agenzia di Sommariva del Bosco: IBAN IT26F084874687000009010074
specificare causale : riscatto Francis e inviare conferma a posta@anpana.tutelaequini.
UPDATE: Francis has been adopted and is happily settled in his new home!
Hi Michelle
Sorry I have changed the link twice as it wasn't working on their site. Basically if you go to the site www.alture.net and scroll down there is a link to Pay Pal under the horse's eye. It says 'fai una donazione'.
I've also posted the bonifico address if anyone is in Italy.
Thank you!
Fiona
