Leaving a Lovely Gift

We received a lovely letter from Clare Roberts, who was writing to us about her husband, John.

John was in a care home and his health wasn't very good, so in November last year, Clare decided to bring Christmas forward for him and adopt Rosie Lee as a gift. Rosie Lee's photo was framed so that John could see her, and he adored her.

Sadly, John passed away on Christmas day. As John had such a love for donkeys, his funeral donations were in support of us here at the IOW Donkey Sanctuary. We received £300 to go towards our Equine Clinic Appeal, and Clare has decided to continue the adoption of Rosie Lee in his memory.

Clare sent us this photo of John with their dog, Scampi, at the sanctuary from when they used to live on the Isle of Wight.

Thank you John and Clare for your kindness and continued support. We can continue to care for our donkeys because of people like you.
