 Hello everyone, welcome to another video. So a few months back I made a video calling to raise funds for two of my favorite sanctuaries here in the UK. The Retreat Animal Sanctuary run by Billy Thompson and Tower Hill Stable Sanctuary run by a good friend of mine Fiona Oakes. Now they've gone through a little bit of a tough time with the coronavirus thing. The retreat were unable to open to the public. They have a nice cafe there and some people were having to lessen their donations because of the financial strain everyone was under which is totally understandable. So I decided to come up with an idea to raise funds and it was to make some t-shirts, animal guardian t-shirts and sell them off to people. It took a little bit of time, I'm not going to lie, we had to set up the shop which was quite strenuous. I had my project manager here just working away constantly on setting up the shop and we had a few hiccups so we did a presale and we got the orders in and then we had to print the shirts and there was a few hiccups along the way which sort of cost us some time but we ended up selling 350 garments which is great and we've got the results in, we've sent the money through. I'm going to tell you exactly how much was raised after 350 garments and after the production costs, the fulfillment costs and the postage and shipping costs of around 5,800 pounds for all of that. It left us with about 6,750 pounds. Okay now I ended up donating just over a thousand pounds as well and another generous donor donated just over 2,000 pounds as well which was great, which got our grand total up to about 10,000 pounds which is about 12,500 USD. So that's great, we've got half and half for Billy and Fiona so we're going to send 5,000 pounds off to each. I just want to say thank you to everyone who donated and bought a t-shirt. Thank you so much. There are even people who donated outside of the t-shirt campaign which is fantastic to do as well. If you wanted to do that now still you can go down to the description down below or if you're watching this on Facebook I'll link it above or in the comment section somewhere. Links to the retreat and to Fiona's sanctuary as well. Thank you to everyone who donated for this. I know that it's a little bit of tough times with all the financial thing at the moment with the coronavirus and people just getting back to work but it's really good. We raised 10,000 pounds, so 5,000 pounds each. I said I was going to give total transparency with the account so we'll be linking down below a little Google Drive with the fundraiser account, the money that went in, the money that went off to the t-shirt company for their work and the money that went off to the sanctuaries which were the last transactions. So we'll leave all that down below. You can actually also see the Spotify total as well down there so everyone's comfortable with where the money goes. We wanted to help the animals with this campaign, this little fundraiser and I'm sure 5,000 pounds will go a long way to feeding them. It could be for the month. I know sanctuaries are quite expensive to run which is why they need funding so thank you so much to everyone who helped out with this. It was a long process, a couple of months and it took a lot of work to be honest with you. We didn't expect it to be so much work but it ended up being because of t-shirts and shops and dealing with customers and all these things and creating our own designs. But the results were definitely worth it. So yeah, I thought I'd make an update video, let you guys know how that went and yeah it's been great to see everyone sending me their pictures of them wearing their hoodies or t-shirts. I mean it's pretty cool, their design was pretty cool and yeah I just wanted to say again thank you to everyone helping to support the sanctuaries. They've got so many animals there, they do so much good work. Fiona and Billy are just, they're really heroes. I mean I can't, there's no other word to describe them. They're parents to hundreds of animals across their sanctuaries. They have been dedicated for many years. They're both long-term ethical vegans. They've got huge hearts. They deserve your support more than anyone in the world and and I just really respect those people who run sanctuaries. I think it's one of the toughest jobs out there. One of the most emotional jobs out there. Also one of the most fulfilling jobs out there I'm sure but yeah we just need everyone to get behind them and I'm so glad that we did. So thanks a lot everyone. I'll be making some more videos for you again soon. Again the links are all down below that you need if you wanted to donate separately. The t-shirts, I don't know if we'll be releasing them again so if anyone wants any um I don't know when that shop will be back up and running and or even if it will be but we'll have to wait and see. I'll update you in the future but yeah there's no more t-shirts left so you can't buy any anymore. Just thought I'd add that in at the end but yeah again thank you to everyone who participated donated and shared the video or have helped out these sanctuaries or even have helped out sanctuaries in your area. These two are just two that are nearby me and close to my heart and I've met Billy and Fiona and and they're good friends of mine and so I love you all. Thank you all for your support and your help. Wear those t-shirts out when you're doing your vegan outreach and I'll see you all in the next video. Peace!
