Thank you to everyone who donated to our fire recovery fund. Since we shared about the wildfire, we have raised over $22,000 through our website and nearly $7,000 through Facebook – it comes to over $29,000 to help us rebuild.
Our emergency plan is entirely focused on keeping the elephants safe. Still, we have so many other loved and adored animals that our lives wouldn’t be the same without. We continue to be so grateful that they all are fine. It could have been so much worse. There was one chicken that we briefly believed had passed away from smoke inhalation. Within minutes, the chicken recovered to the point that she was running around the house, trying to get back outside.
We know that most of you follow our page for the elephants. To see you give so quickly and generously for the land, and the fences for our rehab program, and the water pump… It fills us with gratitude and appreciation. Thank you for what you do, and thank you all for your level of caring.
We – including the entire team – will still be processing what happened for a while, but we wanted to take a moment to share the amount that has been generously donated so far, along with our most heartfelt appreciation for this overwhelming demonstration of your support and love. ❤️

October 14, 2020 at 2:06 pmGosh, that must have been quite the surprise the chicken coming back like that! Made me smile. The physical work to be done must be overwhelming, the emotions must be so mixed — what’s gone, what’s left, what’s lost, what’s saved, the gratitude amid the ashy debris. The vision of “future improvements” zoomed to the forefront. Thank you for the posting in the middle of …..all that is.

October 14, 2020 at 2:41 pmHope the rains were enough to truly help. Thinking of you all: elephants, blind tapirs, dogs, humans, smoky chickens, et al (not necessarily in that order). Hoping for plain sailing once you’re sorted. Hard to deal with heart in mouth for you guys while teeth gritted and stomach in knots for what seems like everything else… gets very uncomfortable!

October 14, 2020 at 3:34 pmIs there anything on these pages that tells us more about you and your crew…how many, living on the sanctuary orin neighboring communities? Your relationship to the project in Tennessee? Also, anything about financials? thanks so much for your work and for sharing these amazing souls with us.

October 14, 2020 at 10:38 pmI feel very privileged to be a supporter. It is the least I can do when one becomes so emotionally attached to these lovely personalities – including your great staff! Thank you for all you do, so thrilled you received such significant support. It gives one Faith that there are those worldwide who care. You are a very special group with incredible communication to your public . . . We are always there for you and your girls!

October 15, 2020 at 2:15 amI will ALWAYS be there for you. Thank goodness the chicken revived….every life so precious. Each and every one of you at the sanctuary are precious…human animal and non-human animal alike.
I hope you get some time to rest, please take care of yourselves…it is hard when there is so much to do and when recovering from such a shock as the fire. It is in the aftermath that the reality really surfaces. Be kind to yourselves, too. We are all here for you.
