What will your legacy be?
Posted September 05 2022
We all have the power to leave this world better for our being. With Include a Charity Week (5-11 September) now underway, we invite you to consider what your legacy of kindness might be.
When a tiny piglet trotted into the life of Edgar’s Mission Founder, Pam Ahern, almost 20 years ago, he set off a chain reaction of kindness that we could never have imagined.
Although the eponymous Edgar Alan Pig is sadly no longer with us, his legacy lives on through our advocacy work to create a kinder world, and the safe haven we’ve been able to provide for thousands of fortunate animals including Amethyst, a tiny lamb born with disabilities.
What we have found daily through our thoughts, actions and deeds is that we all have the power to leave this world better for our being.
With Include a Charity Week (5-11 September) now underway, we invite you to consider what your legacy might be.
As a fellow animal lover, we trust that this may include a contribution that will enable Edgar’s Mission to continue our vital work on behalf of neglected, forgotten, abused and vulnerable farmed animals.
As a registered charity, bequests have allowed us to achieve many amazing things.
This includes a heated nursery for orphaned lambs and kids, a vet room for animal treatments, and a reliable sanctuary vehicle.
Our advocacy and ground-breaking stories touch hearts and open minds worldwide, while closer to home we seek to create a kinder world through sanctuary tours, humane education and much more.
We have now partnered with Gathered Here, a leading Australian online will-writing platform, to offer you the chance to create a free, legally binding will in less than 10 minutes with free and unlimited updates. 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 farmed animals get to grow old with grace, dignity and kindness.

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.

Walk a Mile in My (Well-Worn) Shoes
“I think you need another pair of shoes,” someone commented as they looked down and saw the cable tie strapped firmly around my left runner. “No, no,” I replied, “It’s got a few more miles in it yet.” And I smiled.

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.
