I know the Coronavirus has completely taken over everything. We are at home and most people are bored (I, however, am not one of those people). I want to share a story that blesses my heart. There is a little girl in Michigan, she is 9 years old. Her name is Alaina. She has a dream of saving as many pigs as she can. She loves pigs with her whole heart. She is the CEO of an organization called Pink for Pigs. She came up with Pink for Pigs a year ago. Her parents decided to help her with this dream. The reason is, they learned the hard way about the myths of mini pigs. Alaina got a pig that was supposed to stay small, and as you all are learning, the pig did not stay small. Of course, they love the pig and still have the pig, which most people rehome them before a year is up because they get bigger than they were told and decide the pig is too much for them. Is that the pig’s fault? Of course not, but the pig is the one that gets rehomed or taken to the shelter and doesn’t understand why. Alaina is on a mission to help get the word out about the myths and about breeders and their lies. She hates to see these pigs ending up in the wrong hands. Her organization does online auctions to raise money for sanctuaries and rescues across the United States. What is happening is all of these unwanted pigs have to go somewhere. There are sanctuaries and rescues across the United States for these pigs, but they are all full. Most of these establishments are a 501c3 and run on donations. Since the Coronavirus has hit America, the donations are drying up and these owners of rescues are struggling with how to feed these animals and give them the care that they need. Alaina is working on a fundraiser right now to help keep some of these places opened. These people need help to continue to help these animals. Can you help Alaina?? Do you have an extra $1 or $5?? This girl has been in People magazine and a few news stories lately. She is living her dream at 9 years old. I find that amazing. Please look up her page, Pink for Pigs and give if you can. These animals deserve to be cared for. Let’s focus on something more than the Coronavirus and help these animals and Alaina today.
