## Resource

A Midlothian mom juggling three kids and a full-time job has become an unlikely hedgehog hero, rescuing over 80 spiky survivors from her spare bedroom. After realizing no local rescue existed, she trained online, shadowed experts, and now feeds them at night to keep them calm. With her garage conversion on the horizon — pending a welfare license — she’s crowdfunding to expand care for up to 20 hedgehogs. Already, community support has raised £2K toward her £3K goal, helping her prepare for winter’s surge in rescues. From dog bites to tangled netting, Ann’s saving lives — one tiny, prickly one at a time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
