💔 11,000+ FOLLOWERS. I begged for ONE FREE thing: a SHARE. 1,600 saw their story. Only 216 reposted. We can rescue, feed, treat & sterilise them—but only YOU can give them reach. 🙏 PLEASE REPOST. Help their stories reach someone who can help.
🙏 I’M beginning YOU FOR JUST ONE THING: PLEASE SHARE THEIR STORY. Every day, mothers and orphaned babies arrive in our care. We will rescue them, feed them, treat them, sterilise them and give them every chance we can. But there is one thing you can do for them that costs absolutely nothing: SHARE. Help their stories travel beyond the people who already know us—to someone who may never have known these animals were suffering, or that someone is here fighting for them. These four orphans found a mother who simply made room in her heart. ❤️ Please make room for their story on your timeline. tawf.org.uk/donate

💔 PLEASE DON’T JUST FEEL SORRY FOR HER. SHARE HER. Let her story travel beyond the people who already know us—because that is how we find the helping hands that allow us to save the next life. Let’s call her Grace. Our vet believes she is over 25. Years without proper hoof care have left her feet and limbs permanently deformed. The damage is irreversible, and even pain relief may not be enough to give her the comfort she deserves. And Grace is not an exception. Two desperate donkeys arrived just this afternoon. The second is in an even worse condition. This is what I am trying to tell you: I cannot keep saying YES to them alone. We offer working donkeys FREE hoof trimming, FREE veterinary treatment and early care so they can be reached before neglect becomes irreversible. But to keep doing that, we need helping hands—and helping hands cannot find us if these stories never leave our own little circle. Stories like Grace’s may receive a few hundred likes if they are lucky. But a LIKE keeps the pain here. A SHARE can carry it somewhere new. Your SHARE costs nothing. Yet it could reach the person who helps us treat another donkey before she becomes another Grace. 🙏 PLEASE SHARE. Help me keep saying: YES, BRING THE NEXT ONE. 🫏❤️ tawf.org.uk/donate

Today, I need to ask you for something that won't cost you a penny. ❤️ countless rescued animals are no longer reaching the people who might have helped them. For months, fewer and fewer people have been seeing our rescues. In the last 7 months, our X family has grown by only around 600 followers. Over the last 3 months, we've gained fewer than 100 new followers. That means countless rescued animals are no longer reaching the people who might have helped them. The animals haven't stopped needing help... They've simply stopped being seen. Today, I'm not asking you for a donation. I'm asking you to become their voice. Please repost, quote, comment on, and share our posts whenever you can. One share could introduce TAWF to someone who has never heard of us before. That one person could become the reason another injured dog is rescued, another frightened mother finds safety, or another hungry animal gets the care they desperately need. Please help our rescued animals reach the people who haven't discovered them yet. ❤️🐾

In dandelion season, when the Lilliputian lions spread magic at our feet, weave the magical golden flowers into your wedding bouquet for good luck, drink dandelion tea for psychic dreams and blow the seeds into the wind to make your wish come true.✨ #legendarywednesday

It would be so so helpful if you could retweet my May botanical illustration & mental health workshop in my previous tweet if you have a few seconds. I've been unable to work since December due to a breakdown (not remotely proud of this) and I'm trying to get back on my feet so if you could RT it would help enormously. I so love teaching people how to draw & how it changes brain biochemistry resulting in better mental health 🌿

I need 2,000 retweets on this. I'm the Democrat running against Devin Nunes. At the beginning of the pandemic, Devin was one of the most irresponsible congressman, spreading dangerous disinformation. Even calling the closing of schools in CA "overkill". fresnobee.com/opinion/editor…
