      Thanks, Alex. It truly was inspiring to see everyone come together and make it happen at the end. It is nice to know that so many people care about protecting chickens. Even those that couldn't give financially helped out by spreading the word. This truly was a group effort. Thanks, everyone! The transfer to our account started today, so hopefully we'll be able to get started really soon. We'll keep you up to date. In the meantime, join us on Facebook (facebook.com/deeprootssanctuary).

      We did it!!!

      I had a feeling some people were holding back until the last minute to distribute the contributions more evenly (I was planning on throwing another $50-$100 at it if I saw it increasing nearer to the goal) but it looks like we all managed to come together and make something good, something really good. Kudos to all the fellow backers and people following this with their heart, I'm grateful I could be a part.

      i did it because its good to do god things...and i figured if i texted to give money to haiti, which probably never went to helping actual victims of the quake in haiti, i might as well do this for some friends in the state
