ANNOUNCING OUR SUMMER 2026 FUNDRAISER! ❤
We are pleased to announce that SAKURA’S HOPE FOUNDATION has once again generously offered to match the first $60,000 of donations towards our Donkey Care and Comfort Fundraiser for Summer 2026!
Our Goal – to raise $140,000 for the Donkeys.
Help us raise these much-needed funds for the donkeys and see your Donation matched by SAKURA’S HOPE FOUNDATION.
This wonderful Matching Campaign runs from May 1st – September 6, 2026! Join us in caring for the Donkeys & Mules here at the Refuge & double your support when you donate to the Donkey Care & Comfort 2026 Matching Fund!
The Refuge currently has over 100 donkeys & mules in our care, and we are so grateful for all the support to help us continue our mission to provide a safe and healthy refuge for Donkeys & Mules in need.
With your kind support, we can continue to provide a comfortable, safe, & healthy environment for all our long-ear friends. Each donation supports the daily operations & care of the Donkeys here at the Refuge, including daily cleaning of all paddocks & barns, daily medical care for Senior & high needs Donkeys, hay, feed, supplements, soft shavings & straw bedding, and many other small items that are required for daily care of our herds.
We hope you will consider donating to the Donkey Care and Comfort 2026 Matching Fund, where your donation will be doubled in impact with a matching Donation from Sakura’s Hope Foundation! Thank you for thinking of the Donkeys & Mules in our care.
