About

Hi, Michelle (her middle name) has been tending to injured animals all her life.
She is an integral member of Hunter Wildlife Rescue specialising in bird rehab but flying foxes, wombats and reptiles to name a few have been nursed by Michelle.
On her initiative she was feeding out during drought and after fires. This included clever water station ideas repurposing those blue barrels used for food and a kiddies wading pool.
She makes and directs the installation of habitat boxes etc.
Now she needs OUR help.

Her specialist 4WD vehicle was stolen Monday 15 July. Not only that, within it was thousands of dollars worth of equipment such as emergency kits, go bags and 4WD accessories etc.
As many of you know, she goes up hills, down dales and fords rivers to get her patient so this is a massive loss.
She was also preparing for some days away at her bush block over the school holidays and had packed gardening and other tools for making a camp fire plus camping gear and her laptop.

The funds will be used to replace the vehicle, get a specialist canopy fitted and replace the contents so Michelle can continue doing what she loves and what is so important for our animal friends.

She has helped many others in small ways and large, now it is her turn.

The pic is Michelle presenting to Congewai Valley Landcare talking about nesting boxes and emergency response when you come across an injured or dead animal on the road.

Michelle very kindly went ahead with the presentation even though she had to re-create it on her phone. Her laptop and other materials for the event having been in the vehicle too.

Even if you can't donate (this platform takes whatever amount you set and the site fee is optional), please put 0418 628 483 in your Contacts to report injured wildlife. The line is answered by WIRES but HWN volunteers attend.

If you can't donate but you have unused gardening or power tools, please let me know. If it is something Michelle lost and is in good conditions, we will see what can be arranged about collection. sabina.campbell.1@gmail.com
