Leave a Legacy of Kindness
Posted August 23 2023
With Include a Charity Week returning 4-10 September, we invite you to consider what your legacy might be. And to celebrate, we have partnered with Gathered Here to offer you a free online will.
They say that a legacy is planting seeds in a garden you never get to see, and an affable pig named Edgar is a testament to this.
Trotting into my life over 20 years ago, few had the chance to meet the affable Edgar Alan Pig. Yet his legacy lives on, not only in the hearts, minds and deeds of those who did, but in everyone who has been touched by the incredible sanctuary that was created in his honour – Edgar’s Mission.
And although sadly no longer with us, Edgar’s remarkable legacy is indeed a poignant reminder that our footprints and trotter steps can live on beyond us, and when placed well, in the most powerful and kind ways.
We all have the power to leave this world better for our being.
With Include a Charity Week returning on 4 September, we invite you to consider what your legacy might be.
As a fellow animal lover, a contribution in your will to Edgar’s Mission will enable us to continue our ground-breaking work on behalf of the most forgotten animals on this planet, those who are farmed for food and fibre.
As a not-for-profit, bequests have allowed us to achieve many astounding things.
This includes a heated nursery for orphaned lambs and kids, a vet room for animal treatments ensuring immediate live-saving measures can commence inhouse, and reliable sanctuary vehicles.
Our advocacy and heartfelt stories of hope have reached the hearts and minds of a over half a billion people worldwide, while closer to home we seek to create a kinder world through sanctuary tours, humane education programs and much more.
We have partnered with Gathered Here, Australia’s most trusted end-of-life services provider, to offer you a free online will with unlimited updates. And it takes less than 10 minutes to create! You can start your free online will here.
Or to find out more and get free sample wording for your solicitor, visit our bequest page here.
If you have already confirmed a gift in your will, our heartfelt thanks to you! We are deeply humbled by your belief in Edgar’s Mission. If you so desire, please let us know so that we can thank you personally.
If you’re unable to, please know we are grateful for the other ways you support us.
Because of you, Edgar’s Mission is one of the few places on earth where formerly farmed animals get to grow old with grace, dignity and kindness. I am so blessed to watch this happen every day and because of your support, future generations will be able to do so.
Thank you for making that possible.
Pam Ahern, Founder of Edgar’s Mission

Life lessons from an almost dead tree
“Darn,” I cursed. The tree had died, for we had forgotten to dutifully nurture it. I feverishly raced to get a bucket of water. Dousing the parched earth that supported the resolute death stick, a part of me knew my efforts were in vain. But just like that dead stick, I refused to concede it was all over.

Everybody Hurts
Earlier this month, with the heaviest of hearts we said goodbye to Bubba Pig. Here we pay tribute to a pig who loved his Mumma so much that he decided a life without her, was no life at all.

Taken
On a recent rehoming I was taken down some dusty tracks; they wound this way and that, and as they did, my mind wandered with them. I was struck by the raw beauty that daily abounds as Louis Armstrong belted out “What a wonderful world” in my head.

Never Mind How History Will Judge Us…
The often-invoked cautionary phrase reminding us to temper our actions begins, “History will judge us…” But should the better metric of how we behave today not to be judged by the way future generations will look back upon us, but by how the recipients of our actions today are impacted by them?

Alpaca My Bags!
In February 2023 a group of alpacas, who had survived a flood which claimed others in their pack, found sanctuary at Edgar’s Mission. Six of them made their way to a new doting family, and six months later they are living their best lives, as Lesley explains.
