Karen Pietruszkiewicz from Connecticut was on a Caribbean cruise and want to go to the Sanctuary in Bonaire.  For some reason this could not be done and she got in touch with us to find out directions and hours for our Sanctuary.  She fell in love with Bambi who is our donkey with a spinal birth defect.  Karen loves the underdog and adopted him.  She also liked how Lucky takes care of Bambi.

Bambi, had to be put to sleep. Bambi came to us in September 2006.  He had a birth defect, scliosis (a curvature of the spine). As he grew and got older his back became worse and he was having trouble walking. It was not going to get better so the difficult decision was made to let him go to donkey heaven. We will all miss him as will his devoted friend and protector, Lucky.
