Speaker 1: Well, let's talk to Rita. Hello, Rita, Ah, Hi, Jamesey,

00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: Tell us about Donna and why you've nominated her.

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 3: Hi, Amanda. Donna is a very special woman. She when

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: I first met her, I met her when I was

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: volunteering at a charity called WLPA a Clay and they

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: basically taking cats, look after captain has been abandoned and

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: then do a great job in in fostering them out

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: and giving them forever homes. And I met Johnna there

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: and she was a vet there and she comes in

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: and basically does her work and looks after all these

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: cats and rabbits prevonas often in her own time and so,

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: and I'm also doing animal studies course at TAFE and

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: was finding it very difficult during COVID to get a workplacement,

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: and she said that I'll take you on, no problem,

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: and she come in and help me out at my

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: vet practice. And so she's just you know, it's crazy.

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: The vet is crazy. But the reason it's crazy is

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: because she's just trying to do everything for everyone. And

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: she just does a lot of work for animal shelters

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: that wouldn't otherwise have access to the services that she

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: provides so amazing.

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: And you've also said that she provides food treatment support

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: to pet owners for free who cannot afford this stuff

34
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: without her.

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. So she's you know, basically, especially during

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 3: COVID when you know everyone was struggling, she was doing

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: a lot of work basically for free. And in her

38
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: own time, she does unbelievable hours driving around in her

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 3: little van, you know, picking up sick animals and dropping

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: them off. And yeah, so she's just a real asset

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: to the community.

42
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: And her own clinic is a little bit run down.

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: A little bit run down. Yeah, so we could do

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: with a faith lift and it would probably help in

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: terms of being able to manage even more, you know,

46
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: even more cases and take more on. But will she

47
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: She would probably put it straight back into I imagine

48
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: donating it to whoever needs it both. But I think

49
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: that you know, having the having the place face listed

50
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 3: would be amazing.

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: Well, we can do that. We're good at using up

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: a place you've.

53
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,480
