Request for Help
This is a copy of an email that I received that I would very much like to share with you. I do want to note that anything posted here, unless otherwise noted, is not officially endorsed by Tigerhomes but I did receive permission to repost the email. It is stated below:
The Tigerhomes.org Sanctuary Begins Recovery After Hurricane Wilma and Katrina
Wilma made landfall as a Category Three storm with winds of 125mph (200km/h). Wilma was the strongest hurricane to hit the Miami area since Andrew in 1992. Florida's residents have begun to clear up the devastation left by Hurricane Wilma as it swept across Florida killing at least six people.
Tigerhomes.org located in South Florida was directly in the path of Hurricane Wilma. Thanks to Dave’s incredible foresight and hurricane preparedness strategy all of the Sanctuary animals are safe and secure. Unfortunately the intense winds caused widespread damage to most of the Sanctuary grounds adding to the damage that Katrina already caused.
The Sanctuary sustained extensive damage to the entire grounds, perimeter security fencing, two animal habitats (Midnight the African Leopard Cub & the African Lion Habitat), and saw complete destruction to countless tropical trees and rare tropical fauna. Both storms (Wilma & Katrina) managed to completely destroy the Sanctuary’s once lush tropical canopy that provided needed shade for all the animals here. It may take many months to restore the Sanctuary to a level of quality for the animals that it once had but we cannot possibly do this without your support.
Already we are seeing an increase in member participation but we need a larger collective effort in order to continue with our recovery efforts and to drive ahead with our mission.
A simple donation of any kind can make a significant difference in helping us recover from the devastation felt here.

At this moment Dave is without power and working double shifts in order to clear away the debris, repair animal habitats, and restore overall Sanctuary operations. He is using one primary and two secondary generators in order to operate a limited amount of equipment such as the freezers that store food for the animals. He may not have any Internet connection back for a while.
Please continue to visit the forum for hurricane recovery updates and to show your support.
