I'm so bad at it. I want to ask for adoption fees, but if it's a really good home, that's worth more to me than having to work extra to earn money to pay the vet bills. Let them save that money for a future vetting...
I don't like asking for hand-outs. I have trouble asking people to take over. It's difficult having to give someone else the reigns. I don't want to be a burden.
Money is scary. Whenever money is involved, people talk smack. You take a donation and they accuse you of profiting, despite the fact that you've been using a good amount of your own money for years.
You try to do the best you can and it's never enough. I have this fear. Instead of needing to answer to others, I just do everything myself so there's nothing to defend.
When you ask others to help, get others involved, there lies an opportunity for the others to judge you, throw you under the bus, blame... I don't handle conflict well.
I'm wondering if I should support other rescues instead of running my own...
That's the big decision I've been holding onto for awhile. Maybe be a bird rescue Network instead of a rescue itself... Lots of people know me online and in South FL. I struggle with the money side of things...
I don't know what I should do. I don't know who I can trust other than myself and God. God has helped me out this long with blessing me with talent and freelance opportunities.
