Help fulfil Christmas wishes of wildlife centre

Donations from the public have made a positive impact on the wildlife centre and enabled it to keep its doors open.

THE Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Crow) has released their Christmas wish list and are hoping that donors will help them continue to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife animals.

Crow extends their gratitude to everyone who rallied behind their emergency campaign recently which allowed them to keep their doors open.

The centre, which was on the brink of closure late this year, was able to continue its free work thanks to the generosity of the public and various businesses and organisations that rallied to support the amazing work at the centre.

The centre’s operations director, Clint Halkett-Siddall, said donations have made a positive impact, demonstrating that in the face of challenges, collective compassion knows no bounds.

“Crow is powered by a small yet passionate team of dedicated staff and volunteers, who tirelessly assist over 4 000 orphaned, injured and displaced animals each year. Together, we provide injured and orphaned wildlife with a second chance at a free, safe and sustainable life. Every contribution, big or small, supports our mission. We thank those who have been a crucial part of the Crow family and helped us make a difference in the lives of those in need,” he said.
