Rescuing the Rescuer with Gentle Barn Founder Ellie Laks
When our hearts are open, we become more tuned in to animal suffering. Although empathy can be considered a gift, this quality may lead us to feel disillusioned and even angry with people who express apathy toward animals. Concrete rescue tools are needed in order for us to stay uplifted while we manage the sorrow and other overwhelming feelings we are confronted with, by having huge hearts in an often -times cruel world. Join our webinar with Gentle Barn Foundation founder Ellie Laks, who will rescue your inner rescuer from heartbreak and isolation.
The Gentle Barn Foundation is a national organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted animals, and heals people with similar stories of abuse and neglect. Ellie is a celebrated animal welfare advocate, humane educator, and the author of “My Gentle Barn: Creating a Sanctuary Where Animals Heal and Children Learn to Hope.” The Foundation has animal sanctuaries located throughout the United States, in California, Tennessee, and Missouri.

Jay Weiner represents the Gentle Barn, VegNews magazine's 2015 selection for their 'Nonprofit of the Year' award.

Jay is on the frontline of all animal rescues The Gentle Barn performs. He specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of severely injured and abused animals as well as undercover rescue work and emergency animal rescue services. Jay is a mission-driven business builder, passionate animal welfare advocate, and accomplished animal rescuer, whose deep commitment to animal wellness and proactive corporate social responsibility has established The Gentle Barn as a multimillion dollar, world renowned, national organization serving as a model of excellence in animal and child welfare.

SOUTHERN BELLE - Luxury Gentleman's Farm near Clemson, SC $649,000
Smooth jazz floats from French doors thrown wide open. The porch swing sways to the music. In bare feet, she pads along the upper balcony, fingers tracing the railing’s custom scrollwork. Thoughts drift and visions of old Charleston come flooding back.
Holding a commanding presence, this stunning southern belle looks out over 19 plus private acres. Set far back from the road, a long drive meanders toward the house, encircling a center garden, then leading to an impressive bricked entrance with a wide sweeping bricked staircase framed by Charleston railings.
Two grand stacked porches invite sweet tea lunches and relaxation. Inside, large rooms rich with architectural details include 10-foot ceilings, crown moldings, enormous columns, nine French doors, skylights, see-through gas fireplaces, and gleaming wood floors of ash and Brazilian cherry.
The layout flows easily from room to room with both formal and informal spaces. Walls of windows fill the home with light and provide views of the property, north, south, east and west. An oversized brick-floored screened porch can seat 8 – 10 persons.
The five bedrooms include two master bedrooms. Two of the guest rooms include fun sleeping lofts for sleepover playmates, and one of the rooms has a secret play cubby. These are but a few of the amenities!
The land is chemical-free and has a gentle lay to it with approximately 8 cleared acres in fenced pasture. The owner has been careful to leave large trees for shade. The well to the property is considered high-flow, producing 60 gallons of crystal clear water per minute, more than enough to create ponds on the property.
There's an old livestock barn, a large chicken coop, and a good-sized storage building. The property has a separate entrance for easy access for commercial purposes.
With this stunning large home and lots of good acreage, there are many possible uses, a vineyard – there are 2 vineyards within 35 minutes, a working farm – there have been up to 60 sheep here, a hobby farm – llamas or horses; or, as the location is within a few minutes of the college town of Clemson with great restaurants, cute stores, and Clemson football, this is a great event location. The owners have held successful weddings and football weekends here.

The need is so great. -Stan Brock, founder of Remote Area Medical
When Stan Brock started Remote Area Medical (RAM) in 1985, never in his wildest dreams did he think his services would be needed in the United States, the wealthiest country in the world.
RAM began as an all-volunteer mobile medical clinic that provided free and immediate health care to people living in remote areas of the Amazon rainforest. In 1992, he was asked to bring the clinic to Knoxville, Tennessee. He was shocked by what he saw. He's no longer surprised by the need he sees.
You can close your eyes and stick a pin on the map of the United States and go there and you're gonna find people by the hundreds, and in many cases by the thousands, that need the services. It's simply unaffordable, particularly in dental and vision care. It's a very, very small percentage of people in this country that have insurance that covers those two key items. We're still seeing people dying of bad teeth in the United States.
I'd like to see us work ourselves out of a job so we can concentrate our efforts where we began, in places like the Amazon and Haiti, of course, but we're bogged down here in the United States, I think, for years and years to come.
Find out when RAM is coming to a town near you here and continue to raise your voice about this crucial issue:
