Meet Waily — my partner and the farmer behind so much of what keeps our sanctuary running.
🍍Waily grows an incredible variety of food here at the sanctuary including squash, chayotes, yuca, papaya, bananas, plantains, oranges, jocotes, and so much more.
🔧🌴He also does enclosure repairs, property maintenance and construction here.
Because of his hard work, dedication, and love for the animals, we are now about 70% sustained with homegrown fruits and vegetables. That means fresher food for the animals, lower costs for the sanctuary, and a more sustainable future for rescue wildlife here in Costa Rica. 🇨🇷
Every harvest helps feed the birds, mammals, and other rescues that call the sanctuary home. We are so grateful for everything he does behind the scenes every single day. 💚
Thank you, Waily, for helping the sanctuary thrive — one harvest at a time.
