Giving Tuesday - Little Lives, Bigger Futures 💚

Help Us Prepare for 2027! 🦌💚

Every Giving Tuesday, you help us make a difference for the tiniest members of our wildlife community. Last year, your generosity helped us care for a record number of fawns and other critters in need, giving them the chance to grow strong and return to the wild.

Now, we're dreaming even bigger for 2027!

Our goal is to expand the back of our fawn barn, creating much-needed space to care for even more orphaned and injured wildlife. This addition would give us something we've desperately needed: a dedicated kitchen and meal-prep area, running water and plumbing, a sink, washers and dryers, and workspace to prepare the specialized meals our babies need every day.

But making this dream a reality is a big undertaking. We estimate that construction alone will cost approximately $70,000 — and that doesn't include the appliances, fixtures, laundry equipment, and other essentials we'll need to purchase and install once the building is complete. It's a significant goal for our small, donation-funded organization, but one that could make an incredible difference in how many animals we can help and how efficiently we can care for them.

Your Giving Tuesday donation will help us prepare for the 2027 season by supporting the food, supplies, medical care, and facility improvements that make our work possible. Every gift brings us one step closer to a better-equipped barn, a more functional workspace, and the ability to help even more little lives when they need us most.

We receive no government funding and rely entirely on the generosity of people like you to keep our doors open. Whether you give $10, $100, or share our fundraiser with a friend, you're helping us build a stronger future for Smithwick Station — and for every little life that will depend on us next year.

Let's make 2027 our best season yet! Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our work, and helping us give wildlife a second chance. 💚
