I visited here a number of years ago, but have never forgotten what it was like. The newsletters, besides keeping me updated, are so moving and inspirational. What gifted volunteers and writers!

I visited Fellow Mortals a number of years ago, and have been a regular donor ever since. It is a truly remarkable place, run by truly remarkable people. The newsletter put out is always a work of art. I know of no other place with this tremendous love of, and care for, our fellow mortals!

The staff at Fellow Mortals is defined by true compassion, beyond measure. Every wild creature brought to them is treated with respect and utmost care. They truly understand what the animal has already been through and strive to calm and reassure them that they will be cared for. Truly Fellow Mortals is a place of heaven on earth.

I learned about Fellow Mortals two years ago when someone brought an injured killdeer to the public library where I worked. Since then, I have delivered several other animals in need of care to them. It is wonderful having this organization in our area where I know every animal can get the individual care and attention it needs to be returned to health. The seven baby opossoms, two rose-breasted grosbeaks, and Swainson's thrush I brought to them would all agree.

Having known Fellow Mortals since before it was "Fellow Mortals," I can say that it has grown from its humble beginnings into the first-class wildlife hospital it is today without losing any of the single-minded devotion to the welfare of its patients that brought it into being. Fellow Mortals has always emphasized the quality of care given to every creature in their charge, and have never been willing to compromise their values for the sake of publicity or some other perceived advantage.

Assisted at the release of two Great Horned Owls, and witnessed the release of the bald eagle, "Liberty." I've also seen a very diverse group of people demonstrate their heart-felt support for this organization.

Help the community to understand that the hospital receives no government funding at all, and that it exists only through the efforts of private groups and individuals.

I have never heard the word "no" from Fellow Mortals. I have delivered injured animals to their door step at a moments notice and without notice. The door is always ajar, just in case a late night creature needs the help of Fellow Mortals loving and educated care.
I once asked, if you were in
a difficult situation and there were more birds to save than seems possible, what would you do? The answer was simply, "I would save them all."

more ways than I can count. They once took in a squirrel that was trapped in a garage for 5 months in the city. Starving and close to death I will never forget when Yvonne opened the dryer and took out a soft warm blue baby blanket and how this little cold and hungry squirrel grabbed it and wrapped himself up with his little nose and eyes closing. Forever I will remember the relief and yes, the guilt it took from me to have Fellow Mortals open their arms to this little guy.

wish I had time to help them achieve their never ending work by providing new equipment and supplies when they run out. It takes so much time and money to care for so many orphans of the storm.

I have been involved nearly from the beginning of the Fellow Mortals organization and have personally experienced the dedication demonstrated in the tireless caring for the helpless injured and orphaned wild animals. I have helped clean cages and feed the animals, and not until all had been taken care of was I allowed to eat and rest. I have seen the sacrifices made to provide quality care and food for the birds and mammals that are taken in by Fellow Mortals with the express desire to see them whole and free to live their lives as God intended, in the wild.

I was able to release two rehabilitated owls into the wild. What a great feeling to see them able to continue their lives and fulfilling their roles in nature.

I would encourage the people that bring the injured and orphaned animals to Fellow Mortals to become more involved by giving of their time, donations of supplies, food, bedding and funds.

Fellow Mortals helped us late at night with short notice for a nest of starlings that had fallen down our chimney. They took the poor birds and delivered them the care we could not. We personally support them with our hard earned money because we believe they put it to good use!

Make sure they had the money in their operating budget to never have to worry about how they will keep their doors open.

It's a horrible experience to find an injured animal and have nowhere to go to get help for that poor creature. No one anywhere, no vet, no humane society, no wildlife caretaker, nobody. Helplessly you do what you can, and you suffer as that animal suffers. Fellow Mortals changed that. We now have somewhere to go, not just a place to dump an injured animal, but a place staffed by selfless, dedicated lovers of wildlife where they get REAL help.
I have brought a numbers of birds and small mammals to them, some that I was pretty sure were not going to make it, but I knew Fellow Mortals would do all they could to save them. It's a long drive for me to get to FM, some would say why take all that time and trouble for a chipmunk the neighborhood cat got, or the bird who hit my window.
The little I do by bringing the injured animal to FM is NOTHING. Look what they do! They are outstanding people and I am so thankful for their presence in our community.

Thank you FM for the life long impact you have made in my life. Your compassion towards every furry or feathered creature knows no limit. Your dedication to your work is a great example to everyone, and you have touched more lives than just the little ones you care for. Every person involved should feel blessed to have been a small part in your work, I know I do, and am extremely thankful for it. Keep it up!

If only they had all the means necessary to care for every creature in the whole state of wisconsin and illinois. it is heartbreaking to think that money should get in the way of the care they provide.

This organization is so compassionate in what they do for our injured and orphaned wildlife. I have had the privilege of releasing geese and ducks back into the wild after Fellow Mortals did what they do for all that come into their hospital. There is no better feeling than to see them fly, usually for the first time in a long time, and go back to the wild where they belong. If not for them, so many of our creatures would probably not have a very happy life. Yvonne and Steve have dedicated their lives to doing this. I have met the interns they get during the year and they also are so dedicated to these animals. If they find a creature that just cannot be released back into the wild, they keep and give them the best life possible. It takes special people to be able to do this kind of work. And these are very special people. The whole organization is run so well and the provisions given to the animals are great. I don't know what our community would do without them.

I think Fellow Mortals is the best it can be, other than trying to get more people to donate dollars.
