We have reached the point in our dreams and goals that we wish to expand, but in order to care for more baby birds and treat more injured animals, we need to grow. And that will take some major funding. We need to build onto the Animal Room, buy up surrounding property before it is all developed and the wildlife is driven off, create a classroom, create a bathroom with running water, put up storage sheds, replace the decaying wood cages, hire more qualified staff members, run a new electric line into the Animal Room to allow for an A/C and heating unit, extend the water line to the back of the property, and a whole list of ideas that our Dream Team came up with at the recent two day Planning Session.
Onslow deserves the best - and Possumwood Acres aims to fulfil that need! Won't you help us raise the money to do this and to reach our goals - and fulfil our dreams, too?!?
