Donkey Hugs to Carmina & Terry for their generous $45,000 Winter Matching Donation – with their matching donation, and your generous support of the Donkey Care & Comfort Matching Fund – Winter 2025, we have raised a total of $129,217 for the Donkeys & their care!

Thank You to you, our kind & caring community of donors and supporters, who continue to step up in a huge way to help us continue providing care and comfort for the Donkeys. Your kindness makes all the difference for our long-eared friends!

This spring & summer, through our two Matching Funds (Summer Match supported by Carmina & Terry, and Spring Match supported by Sakura’s Hope Foundation) – we have raised a total of 30% of the Refuge’s annual operating budget: $218,000!  With the addition of our Winter Match Fund donations to these 2 previous matching funds, your support has helped us fund nearly 50% of the Refuge’s annual budget.

We could not be more grateful and blown away by everyone who took the time to help us continue to keep our promises to the Donkeys & Mules who call the Refuge their forever home.
