アメリカのニュージャージー州で農場を運営するリアンさん。彼女は障がいを持ったヤギたちを保護し、彼らと楽しく生活する様子をInstagarmで紹介しています。

Look who's hanging with the big goats this evening! Also… Prospect is turning grey! ??

この農場で保護されたヤギのエンジェルは、生まれたときに凍傷で後ろ足を失いました。

Another use for the pool noodle. I better stick up on these! When I took Angel to the vet last week, he advised me to wait a little while on the prosthetic… a couple of months. She's just growing too fast. The problem is that she wants to walk when she's not in her cart and she can't put wait on her stump or it will cause problems with the bones in her joint. I suggested using a pool noodle ad a temporary prosthetic to teach her and he thought it was a great idea! I think Angel will enjoy being cartless in a few days when she gets used to it!

ですがエンジェルは今、特製の車いすで、農場の仲間たちと一緒に毎日元気に動き回っています。

Happy Monday ??

Miles is going back to the vet on Wednesday for the 9th time. The hospital is over an hour away, so each time we go, we make an afternoon out of it. Special needs babies are time consuming and very expensive but WORTH IT. I believe these babies are teaching people compassion and they are an example of strength. Angel is going to visit a group of special needs children at a camp this summer! This may be her calling! If I didn't have so many supportive social media followers, I could not do this, and I'm so grateful for your support. This is the most expensive time for GOA because we are moving so that I can continue to help more babies like Miles and Angel. My husband supported me when I quit my job in NYC where I made a great salary, and now I make nothing. A big fat ZERO! He agreed to move so that I can have more space and build a barn, but this is my thing…. my dream. It's up to me to raise the funds for this. I cannot work full time with babies who need 24/7 care. I have some exciting projects in the works (like our book) to help bring in income for the rescue, but these things take time. You guys have done so much, but I need to give this one more big push. Our barn is being built next week! We are so close but I still need to raise money for fencing, gates, and some other building materials. If you appreciate what GOA is about, please consider making a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation toward our go fund me campaign. I am truly grateful for any donation. $5 is amazing! We are so close. The link is in the bio. Thank you so so so much! ??

"Quality of life". Lately, people have been throwing this phrase my way referring to Angel and now the new baby coming to us Wednesday. I just love this one. People are so concerned with the quality of life these babies will have if they are disabled. So what then, is a good quality of life for a goat? Having all four legs functioning properly, but being bred over and over and having the babies taken from her so that we can have her milk to make goat cheese? Being hooked up to milking machines with spray paint on her back, and plastic tags punched through her ears until she can no longer produce milk so she is slaughtered? It's amazing how warped we are. We've been conditioned to think certain ways our entire life and it's time to wake up.

後ろ足を失っても、歩くことを決してあきらめなかったエンジェル。車いすで一生懸命に１歩ずつ前に進もうとする姿が健気で心を打たれます。

映像の最後に出てきた言葉『私ができたなら、あなたもできるよ』

もしあなたが今、何かに挑戦しているなら、エンジェルのこの言葉で自信とやる気が湧いてきますように。
