Toos Eldering, the aunt of the Foundation's Vice President, sent money from the Netherlands to adopt a donkey. She is an animal lover and rescued many birds in Holland. She chose Fifi, who lives in Seroe Alejandro, a 30 year old donkey who had been severely abused.
Fifi no longer trusts people and can only be touched on her rear end but then walks away. The adoption is renewed till 2010
Heather Schlader comes to the Sanctuary every year when she is on Aruba. She thinks it is one of the best places on Aruba. She renewed her adoption of Bono who will be two years old this July.

Lori & Christie Clafardoni-Hawkes were on their 6th visit to Aruba and made their way to the sanctuary. They live in Massachusetts and cannot have a donkey as their house is too small so decided to adopt Chocolate and they can visit him every time they are in Aruba.

Jessica Schuchman is a young girl who visited the Sanctuary with her family. She really wanted to adopt one of our donkeys. Solo, one of new residents, was her choice. She loves donkeys and has animals at home that she adores. Jessica is from Arizona.

Elisabeth Kalen de Vazquez spends part of her time in Aruba and part in Spain. She is a great animal lover and usually helps dogs. After reading about Diassa she called us and said she would like to help us by adopting him.
