Please can you help? - Winter Warmer Campaign 2009/10

Basically with the ever increasing numbers of reptiles that are coming into Reptile Rescue Den due to the recession, the high cost in fuel bills and with winter fast approaching we are now forced to ask the public for help.

Reptile Rescue Den is a non profit organisation and are self funded, but during the cold winter months we could really do with a little extra help with funding for such things as the huge electricity and vet bills we get each winter. We get no help from any other organisation or sources despite working along side some of the largest organisations, so we are depending on public support so we can carry on rescuing sick and unwanted reptiles.

It is currently costing between £100 - £150 per week and we are expecting that to rise during winter as it is always one of our busiest times of the year. So if you can help by donating what ever you can afford we would greatly appreciate it even if it is only £1.00. Or perhaps you would like to organise a fund raising event at your work, school or group. If you have any ideas please just contact us.

If you want to donate or just show your support you can either use this Facebook link Sponsor Me on Facebook | Winter Warmer 2009/2010 Fund Raiser or if you wanted to donate through Paypal then please use this email address and mark the donation as a gift RRD050505@aol.com Or you can set up a standing order using the details on our web site www.reptilerescueden.org

Thank you.

Please can you help? We currently have in house over 100 reptiles that need our support. We also need to rehome the healthy ones so we can make room for the never ending list of new comers. Please support us.

Yesterday I was interveiwed by our local news paper and today had the photographer taking pictures, so hopefully that will generate some support.
Would like to thank those who are helping already.

If anyone else can help please don't hesitate to contact us. All support and donations are very much appreciated.

We are holding a Fund Raising event for reptile Rescue Den in Blackburn at Mill Hill Pets and Aquatics. It will be tickets only and I will let people know how much they are and the date (still to be fixed but looking at the end of November). Some of my snakes will be making an apperience, we will be asking for donations for handeling and for pics. Lefty will also be there with some of his snakes giving a talk on keeping large constrictors correctly and trying to put right some of the rubbish that the press have been spouting recently. There wil be fun and games for the children and loads more.

If anyone is interested in attending please PM me and I will let you know dates etc as soon as we have something fixed. The shop isn't huge so there will be a limited number of tickets available so it's a first come first served basis.

Thanks
