Rest ur Ass Donkey Sanctuary

Donkeys, with their soulful eyes and big personalities, are such lovable animals, and yet they suffer terribly worldwide. While my husband, Albert, and I were driving through a rural area in 2016, we witnessed the abuse some donkeys in South Africa were suffering. There are over 44 million donkeys worldwide, and, sadly, due to a combination of lack of education and people's need to survive and ensure their families are fed and sheltered, so many donkeys are subjected to neglect and abuse, overworked and left to die in agony. As an animal lover, seeing this deeply upset me. I told Albert that one day, we'd have a sanctuary for abused donkeys, where they can retire and just live and breathe.
