Mahalo Letter From Keith Dane, HSUS (Extract)

August 26, 2011, Waikoloa Community Meeting

Waikoloans and all Friends of Waikoloa Nightingales,  you sustain me.
This letter is for YOU!
Community support is required for HSUS to take on a project like this and to secure funding from major donors. By coming to meetings, sending contributions, showing interest, being informed, and being appreciative of their efforts, we demonstrate Waikoloa welcomes HSUS efforts.  --Anika
Dear Waikoloa Donkey Project supporter,
I wanted to provide you with an update on the great news from Hawaii – and California – about the success of our donkey rescue and rehoming project thus far.  To date, nearly 400 donkeys have been removed from harm, spared from the threat of starvation or lethal eradication – with over half placed in loving homes in Hawaii, and 119 transported to California, where Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue will care for them while they await adoption or transfer to permanent sanctuary, at Eagle Eye Sanctuary in Northern CA and HSUS’s Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in TX...

This project could not have been possible without the cooperation and support of local groups and individuals on the Big Island (our Hawaii state director Inga Gibson, Stan Boteilho, Anika Glass and Malama Waikoloa Nightingales, Bird McIver of CB Horse Rescue, and many other volunteers and community supporters), the heroic efforts of Dr. Brady Bergin and support of his spouse Tiffany, and the generosity of HSUS donors.  Many thanks for your ongoing support for this life-saving project.

Best,

Keith
