"I want to help, but i don't know how"

A question I get a lot is from people who feel very passionately about what I do and the mission that I am on but don't know how to help. And other people who want to buy something or donate to my cause but don't want anything in return for it (i.e., one of my products). I absolutely understand this, so I have created a list of products that I am saving up for.

I also have a list of products that I buy regularly. They are my most used items. You can check them out on my FAQ page by clicking the button below.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, either through my web page chat (please leave your email) or directly by emailing me at savetassiewildlife@gmail.com

I'm currently saving up for a microscope and gram staining equipment.
My 'local' wildlife vet is nearly 2 hours drive each way. When i have multiple animals in care it is virtually impossible to go to the vet. Having my own microscope (& learning the necessary skills), will allow me to run some basic diagnostics from home. I am doing my research, but so far I know I would like a trinocular Leica Microscope. This will allow me to photograph the stains so I can keep records and also educate others.

Things I am saving up for.

There are sooooooooo many things I am saving up for. Some are ridiculously expensive. Others are cheaper. Here is a list of all the items I wish to purchase over my journey to becoming the best possible wildlife carer I can be.
