URGENT: Help Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary expand

(Originally posted at An Animal-Friendly Life)

UPDATE (11/18, 11:06pm): Apparently Peaceful Prairie was outbid by an unnamed competitor. More at Animal Person.

In case you haven't already seen this elsewhere, Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary is urgently attempting to acquire property to expand the sanctuary by 35 acres. They need a total of $115,000 to purchase the property from Fannie Mae. As of Mary Martin's post they were still seeking $15,000 in donations (JustGive.org) to purchase property that was originally listed at $255,000.

This request is urgent for at least two reasons:

1) There is a very limited window of opportunity for PPS to acquire this property. The closing date is December 17th, and PPS needs to show Fannie Mae that they have the funds to purchase the property. If you donate using the JustGive link above, it should be viewable as soon as the payment processes.

2) The area is zoned for agricultural use, so if they don't acquire the land, it will end up being used instead to exploit animals.

PPS is an abolitionist sanctuary that promotes veganism, and this purchase will allow them to convert a 4,000 sq. ft. home into an Education Center, complete with volunteer and visitor housing.

Credit card donations can also be made through PayPal from the left sidebar on PPS's home page.
