Delphia Strickland, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator who runs the local Arizona Wild Rescue, needs help.
During the recent storm, the steel-frame garage tent under which she stored her cages collapsed under the weight of the snow.
She lost a few cages and the tent itself was completely destroyed.
âIâm trying to raise funds to build a permanent shed in which to store things like that, safe from the elements,â she said.
The owner of Hilltop Construction is donating his labor to build it, and has negotiated a deep discount on the lumber needed, as well as a discount from Payson Concrete for the pad. She and her supporters have raised about $1,500 so far, but will need another $1,500.
