Not-for-profit sanctuary Edgar’s Mission in Lancefield reminds people they goat to give on international Giving Tuesday, aiming to raise $100,000.
It’s the fourth time the sanctuary held its annual fundraiser on November 29, as part of the global movement of generosity.
Its ambassadors, kid goats Peeky and Perky, are adorable additions to the campaign. The sibling goats were rescued after they were orphaned, and soon, they “hopped, skipped and jump.
Edgar’s Mission operations manager Kyle Behrend said for almost two decades, the sanctuary had seen the power of kindness in both animals and people, and the fundraiser helped them continue their important work.
“[The Giving Tuesday fundraiser] represents half of our annual food and bedding costs for the hundreds of formerly farmed animals who call Edgar’s Mission home,” Mr Behrend said.
The sanctuary’s social media presence is staggering, reaching hundreds of millions each day and spreading the word about what they do.
“With every story told, like that of Perky and Peeky, hearts and minds across the globe are being transformed while we inch ever closer towards a kinder world for animals,” Mr Behrend said.
“The only reason we can do this is because of caring people who share our belief that a kinder world is not only possible, it’s on the way.”
