$125‼️ For Falconet it's a matter of life and death

Some would say that's a lot. Others that it's ridiculously small amount of money. Sometimes horses cost a lot, but Sokolik asks for no less no more.

He stands here and begs.
He cuddles his warm muzzle to my hands, but he'd probably be happy to snuggle them in yours or any other hands as well!

Falconet has nothing on his own.
No pension, no insurance, no dignity, no health, and even no hope.

The only thing he has is mendicancy.
Some would say it's humiliating, but Falconet was taught to beg.
He's been doing this all his life.

He can also accept rejection, also does it masterfully.
People have said 'no' to him millions of times.
When it happens, he just closes his eyes and listens to the wind. There is nothing else he can do.

Now, this old horse stands here, shivering slightly from cold and he begs.
He closes his eyes, because he doesn't expect anyone to help.

What can change after a millions of 'no'es?

There's a horse trader behind me.
He finishes the bun and drinks his coffee.
He clucks loudly and nudges me with his elbow every now and then, saying, 'So what? What about the money? Is there any money?'

I remain silent.
I know I'll have to speak up eventually.

I'm begging you, help me so that I don't have to let go of Falconet's warm nostrils and walk him to the gangplank of their van..
PS It's unbelievable! Blind Stasio received so much love from you yesterday that we were able to safely transport him to our asylum. Thank you for this love in its purest form.
