🖤🦊 A Little Personal Post From Behind the Sanctuary 🦊🖤
This isn't my typical sanctuary post, but tonight, as I'm lying in bed at 1 a.m., completely exhausted, I just want to share something that means a whole lot to me.
The last month, especially, has been incredibly difficult. There's been a lot of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and some really hard days. But through all of it, one thing has never changed: I am so incredibly proud of what I've built with The Felix Foundation and how far this sanctuary has come.
Tonight, Rob and I attended Hallowicked, and honestly, it was such an amazing experience. Thanks to Shaggy 2 Dope and Renee, we were treated to VIP access, a meet and greet, and even got to participate in the legendary Faygo Armageddon! 🤡🥤
But you know what made tonight even more special?
The people. The Juggalo family.
Throughout the night, we met so many amazing people. And as we got to talking and I shared that Shaggy 2 Dope had visited our fox sanctuary, so many people immediately knew who we were!
"Wait, you're the fox people?! I remember that!"
I cannot even begin to describe how cool that felt. 🥹
Shaggy remembered us. Renee remembered us. Ash remembered us. And getting to reconnect with them, even briefly, meant so much.
There are a lot of wildlife sanctuaries out there, and never in a million years did I imagine that something like this would become part of our story.
It really feels like such a full-circle moment.
I've been listening to ICP for so many years, and now here I am, not only getting to meet people I've admired for so long, but discovering that people in this community know about my sanctuary, remember our story, and genuinely care about what we're doing.
And none of this would have happened without YOU.
When so many of you started tagging Shaggy 2 Dope and Renee in our posts, you helped make something happen that I never could have imagined. That one visit brought so much awareness to our sanctuary, and the love and support didn't just disappear afterward. It has continued, and tonight was such a beautiful reminder of that.
I know we have a lot of Juggalos who follow our page, and I just want to say thank you.
Thank you for supporting our animals. Thank you for sharing our story. Thank you for being so welcoming, so genuine, and so unapologetically yourselves.
The Juggalo family really is something special, and tonight reminded me exactly why.
After everything I've been carrying lately, it felt SO damn good to let loose, laugh, get absolutely drenched in Faygo, and just enjoy being alive for a night. No stress, no responsibilities, no worrying about tomorrow. Just music, family, and an experience I'll never forget.
So here I am, at 1 a.m., sore, exhausted, probably still covered in Faygo, and feeling something I haven't felt quite enough lately.
Just incredibly, overwhelmingly grateful.
For the sanctuary. For how far we've come. For the friendships we've made. For this crazy, beautiful community that continues to lift us up.
Tonight was awesome. And I just wanted to share that happiness with all of you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of our story.
Whoop whoop! 🖤🤡🦊
Much love,
Jo
