Hello ,
Last month, we shared Sonia’s story — how a phantom smell turned out to be a brain tumour, and how her recovery led her to discover WWOOF and finally live out a childhood dream: caring for horses.
WWOOFing left the same kind of mark on Matthew, who found community and solidarity welcoming WWOOFers to his farm — and on Christopher, who found a deeper respect for farmers and where his food comes from.
These are just three of the countless stories we hear from our community every year. The impact is rarely the same from WWOOFer to WWOOFer — but it’s rarely small.
And yet, just as often, we hear from people who wish they’d found WWOOF sooner.
We don’t have the budget for a big ad campaign — just two staff members supporting a community of thousands. The only way to reach more people is with your help.
For every $10 you give, we can reach one more potential WWOOFer – and maybe help write the next story like Sonia’s.
As summer turns to fall, we’re closing this chapter of our fundraising year on September 22 – the fall equinox. If Sonia’s story moved you, this is your moment to act.
Someone else is about to have their first WWOOF experience – whether they get the chance depends on support like yours.
