Animal sanctuary calls for help after a bad year. - Catherine - 04-13-2025
Ralphie's Retreat is an animal sanctuary in Ontario. They are calling to the community for help after a very bad year. They were hit by an ice storm that did a lot of damage. Other things like that have happened. So they are asking for volunteers to do the work of restoring buildings and fences. They need supplies for the repairs. They need donations to cover all the extra costs.

Hopefully the community comes though so they can continue to care for all their different animals.
The ice storm was very destructive in some parts of the province. Some areas are still without power.
For a place like Ralphie's Retreat the storm would have been quite devastating.

The sanctuary sounds delightful. Someone has to care for al the potbellied pigs that grow bigger that expected.
I wish they were closer so I could visit them.
