A little brown bat, and 10 bats to get through winter

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, a little brown bat named [Animal's name] came to us in October. A neighbor found the bat weak on a porch. Now [Animal's name] is in rehab, eating mealworms and resting in a heated recovery space.

On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for winter care for 10 bats, at $100 per bat from intake through release in spring.

Would you start us off with an early gift? Gifts that arrive before the day help us reach the goal sooner and show others it's within reach.

Thank you for caring about bats,
