Still time to 'goat' your friends

COEUR d'ALENE — The Wishing Star Foundation is preparing to deliver live baby goats to surprise friends and raise money.

Through the “Send a Friend a Goat" program and a $60 donation, anyone can have a bleating goat delivered to offices or businesses on the day and time of their choice within the Coeur d’Alene community May 3 to 7.

The recipient will be asked to make a donation of any amount to pay for the removal of the goat. Anyone can sign up to have a goat delivered or they can purchase “Goat Insurance” for $100 to prevent a surprise visit by registering online at: www.wishingstar.org/goats

Wishing Star will also be sending goats on the virtual platform. These virtual talking goats will deliver a message to the recipient’s cell number or email. Each message is $25 for one virtual goat delivery or $60 for three virtual goats.

These virtual goats will also be available May 3 through May 9 as a gift for Mother’s Day!

Wishing Star has made a difference in the lives of over 5,000 families. Currently, there are 34 children waiting for their wishes to be granted.
