🐰 Three Ways to Help Us Gift Healing (and Bunnies) This June

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

First, thank you.

The past month has been hard in ways we’re still finding the words for—but your support has kept us going. Dave remains in treatment at the Richmond VA, and while we don’t have all the answers, we’re doing our best to move forward one grounded step at a time.

And this June, that next step includes joy. Bunnies. Community. And a farm that still believes healing can start small.

Here are three ways you can be part of what’s next:

🐇 1. Come Snuggle or Adopt at the Farm

Snuggle Bunny Sunday &
Adoption Day
​
​Join us from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM for bunny cuddles, fresh air, fishing, games, and the chance to adopt one of our sweet, socialized Holland Lop rabbits.

Admission is free. Bunny snuggling is by donation. Just bring your heart—we’ll supply the bunnies.

🪖 2. Help Us Gift Bunnies to Military Caregiving Families

Free Bunnies!

Through our Healing with Holland Lops program, we’re gifting fully-supported rabbit adoptions to two military or veteran families navigating life with a service-connected disability.

They’ll receive:

  • Early VIP access to the farm on June 8
  • Up to 2 bunnies of their choice
  • A full setup with cage, food, hay, and supplies

🔗 Know a family like this? They can self-nominate here:
​rockislandfarm.org/healing-with-holland-lops​

💛 3. Sponsor a Bunny & Share the Love

Want to support our mission? You can donate directly to sponsor an adoption gift:

  • $50 → Feeds the bunnies (2 full bags of hay & pellets)
  • $100 → Donates one Holland Lop rabbit to a military/veteran family
  • $250 → Covers farm supplies & essentials to keep us running
  • $500 → Gifts two bunnies + a full setup to one caregiving family

Every dollar goes toward our animals, our farm, and the families we serve.
🔗 Donate here » ​

And if you can’t make it to the farm or donate right now—that’s okay.
You can still help by sharing this with the military and veteran families in your life.

Sometimes the smallest invitation leads to the biggest comfort.

With gratitude,
​Betsy & the Rock Island Farm family​
​Because healing shouldn’t be out of reach—and bunnies help.
