Partners Against Pain – November is National Caregivers Awareness Month

Please select Partners Against Pain for more information.

November is National Caregivers Awareness Month

Sending a big thank you to all the caregivers working hard to care for our beloved family members.  I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my aunt Peg for caring for my ninety-two year old grandma!  My grandmother still lives in the home my grandfather built for her over fifty years ago all of this is directly attributed to my aunts hard work and dedication.

Me and my grandma before my pain was managed note the smile on my face shows pain.

We must remember no human or animal should suffer from horrific pain, this is not a quality life.   I went over one year without having my pain managed not understanding that the pain was not going to go away like when we break our leg or something.   Pain is a signal to say something is wrong and we need to get help I highly suggest reaching out and doing your homework when helping a loved one navigate pain management.  Before my pain was managed I refused to eat much, suffered from insomnia as the pain would wake me up I found myself living a life in a deep blur this is not healthy.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Twenty Six Starving Horses Were Sezied

Howdy,

Please do your best to share information to help these horses by supporting in any way you can this includes forwarding on the internet.  Here is the news article select News.

People Helping Horses

Dear Scott & Melody , I am in need of help, immediately! When you hear the news, you will understand why. Earlier this month, at the request of Animal Control, People Helping Horses assisted in the seizure of 26 starving horses.  Late on a Monday night Officer Diaz called me. She didn’t waste any time before asking, “How much room do you have in your barn?” Her next sentence made my heart stop: “I need to seize 26 horses, TOMORROW.”  As the implications of what she was asking sunk in, my whole body shook with emotion.  In my mind I knew there was absolutely no way I could meet the needs of 26 new animals.  Meet Fancy Yet, I knew that People Helping Horses is the only rescue in our area that can even come close to accommodating such numbers. The only other alternative for the 26, already hurting and abused horses, would be the auction yard; in other words, death.  I couldn’t let that happen. For me there was no choice, I had to help!   Then I remembered that it wouldn’t be just me helping. It would be YOU as well. You have proven yourself to value the life of each and every horse, and I knew that if I agreed to take on this challenge, YOU would partner with me and help in any way you were able. So, although I knew that on paper there was no way to come up with the finances it requires to undertake such a large group of sick and starving horses, I said yes.

Fancy on Arrival I didn’t sleep that night.  What was I thinking?  Twenty-six new horses!  How in the world were we going to financially support that many new horses in the barn? We are already down $120,000 in donations, just in the first four months of the year. To meet the needs of 26 new horses is going to cost us an additional $15,000 PER MONTH! As you can see, when I first said I need your help IMMEDIATELY, I was not exagerating.  I will be honest; I don’t just need your help.  I need a miracle. Can YOU find it in your heart to give $500, $100, or at least $25? Since that phone call, the horses have moved into our stables.  It took two full days to move them.  Now it has been nearly two weeks of veterinary visits, assessing, feeding and one emotional two day stretch to save a horse that in the end, could not be saved. Lifting Fancy Yes, you did understand that correctly.  We have lost one of the original 26 who were seized.  The horses we collected came in such bad shape that even the efforts of five people and two days could not repair the damage that had been done. As much as my heart broke after that loss, I had to look and realize that there are still 25 animals that CAN be saved.  They have made it through the hardest part and anow they need us to do our part. Now is the time for YOU to step in and… Change the Life of a Horse… FOREVER! Please Scott & Melody, be the miracle that these horses need and send your most generous gift, TODAY. Every horse we collected was obviously starving, their hipbones clearly visible. Each was infested with lice, covered in rain rot and mud fever in addition to being hypothermic.The cost of adding so many horses to our barn, each with so many needs, is staggering.Hay prices have risen to $345/ton. With a healthy horse eating half a ton per month, we are looking at almost $5000/monthin hay alone.My best guess is that it will take 6-9 months for these horses to recover which means $30,000 to $45,000just to feed these horses through their recovery.Veterinary costs will be another $8,000.Farrier fees will be close to $4,000.These numbers already take into consideration the drastic donations and cost-savings that are being offered by the veterinarian and ferrier.Scott & Melody, it is going to take an estimated $50,000to rehabilitate these horses.FIFTY Thousand Dollars. I don’t have that money. That $50,000 is still only for the rehabilitation. To train and prepare these animals for new forever homes will take even longer. It could be an additional 6-9 months before these beautiful horses are ready to be adopted. These numbers are overwhelming. The resources required to change the lives of these horses seems impossible to me. However, I KNOW that YOU care about these amazing animals as much as I do. Please don’t delay in showing your support. The need is great. Please, send as much as you are able. Without YOU these horses will not survive. WITH you each of these horses has the opportunity to move from near death, to vibrant life. Please, send us your most generous gift… today.

Here Is Your Chance To Be A Human Angel

Howdy,

New York City’s Carriage Horses: A Dangerous And Inhumane Industry That Must End Please use the form at the bottom of this page to contact Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The Coalition to Ban Horse Drawn Carriages, of which IDA is a member, reports that there have been nine adverse incidents involving carriage horses that have resulted in vehicular accidents, injury to horses or passengers, or in one case, the death of a carriage horse. All of these have occurred since July 2011, spanning a period of just nine months, averaging out to about one incident per month. Most incidents occur when a horse “spooks,” a situation in which a horse suddenly becomes frightened and takes flight, dragging the carriage behind him. In a noisy, chaotic environment like New York City, things that can spook a horse are a constant reality. There are also horses who collapse or become entangled in carriages and harnesses. Sometimes they collapse for no apparent reason, like Charlie, who collapsed and died on the street in October. His death is still unexplained. A noisy, congested city is no place for horse-drawn carriages. These horses suffer day-in and day-out, from pulling carriages in all manner of weather extremes, to their dark and lonely nights spent in the barren warehouses where they return at the end of their nine hour days. By law, they can work seven days a week. You can help by speaking out against the cruel carriage horse industry in NYC. 1) Use the form at the bottom of this page to send a letter to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It is important for him to understand how people feel about this inhumane industry. 2) Snail mail: Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, City Hall, New York, NY 10007. 3) Sign up to participate in Lobby Day on May 1. If you live in the New York metropolitan area, sign up to participate in Lobby Day on Tuesday May 1, 2012. Concerned animal advocates will travel to Albany to urge support for pending bills (A07748 and S5013) that would ban the carriage horses in NYC. League of Humane Voters has arranged for a bus to transport individuals from NYC to Albany and back. You can sign up at this link: http://carriagehorselobbyday.org/. Scroll to the bottom of this page to take action now! Here is a brief summary of carriage horse incidents occurring in the past nine months: July 16, 2011– a carriage horse spooks and bolts, galloping from Fifth Avenue, up Central Park South to 7th Avenue, hitting a taxi and car on the way End of July, 1011– a carriage horse spooks and falls while pulling tourists in Central Park July 25, 2011– a taxi crashes into flimsy horse-drawn carriage, causing serious injuries to driver and passengers October 23, 2011- Charlie, a NYC carriage horse, collapses and dies on West 54th St. on his way to work. The cause of his death is still unexplained. October 28, 2011– a carriage horse spooks on Central Park South and runs into the traffic, eventually crashing and falling in the park. He is no longer in the industry. November 4, 2011- Luke, a NYC carriage horse, collapses on West 60th St. He is down for 15 minutes. December 4, 2011– a carriage horse named Charlie (another Charlie) collapses on West 59th St. He was painfully pulled up by his bit. He is no longer in the industry. February 14, 2012– a carriage horse suddenly falls in Central Park and breaks his leg. He is no longer in the industry. March 3, 2012 – an unnamed horse spooks on 11th Avenue and 52nd St., dragging his empty, overturned carriage into the street.

Message * Subject:   Dear [Decision Maker], * Personalize your message I am a member of In Defense of Animals, and I implore you, as Mayor of New York City, to bring an end to the cruel industry that forces horses to pull cumbersome carriages in heavy midtown traffic.Over the past nine months, there have been no less than nine adverse incidents involving carriage horses that have resulted in vehicular accidents, injury to horses or passengers or, in one case, the death of a carriage horse. This terrible track record reveals an industry that must be shut down.NYC is one of the most congested cities in the world. Slow moving horse-drawn carriages pose a safety issue to the public and carriage riders and often get in the way of emergency vehicles.The horses are denied the freedom to roam and stretch their limbs on a daily basis, something essential to their health. By law, horses are allowed to work nine hours a day, seven days a week. Although they are supposed to get a 15 minute break every two hours, there is no way to enforce this provision.The romantic image of the horse-drawn carriage is a myth. I would never take a carriage horse ride and I would discourage anyone from ever doing so. All recent polls of public opinion show that more than eighty percent believe the practice should be ended. Both Frommer’s and Fodor’s guides to NYC warn tourists and visitors against supporting this inhumane and dangerous industry. New Yorkers and tourists feel its time to end this cruel industry. Please act to remove this blight from your wonderful city.

Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway! – John Wayne

Howdy,

Today is April 13, 2012 it has been two years since I got in the vehicle with my GOD mother and survived a semi truck smashing into the passenger door where I was sitting destroying my fragile body.  This has been the longest two years I can remember of my entire life.  Praise GOD my husband and I are stronger in our bond of marriage and I thank GOD in Jesus Christ name for his blessings, healing and favor.

I Have Learned, In Whatsoever State I am, To Be Content – Philippians 4:11  – YOUTUBE Sernity Prayer Video

I think I am finally getting this verse (Philippians 4:11) from the NIV bible I guess these things take time as I am just a human being doing the best I can to navigate life.  Nothing happens by accident; I am sure GOD always allows things to come into our life and leave our life as nothing stays the same. 

Life weaves in and out for all of us just like seasons come and go in nature.  The good news is I know GOD is in control of my life and I need not worry about a thing and I shall be content and live in the moment just like the animals do.

 GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Melody
