💔 What do you say when the reason you’re still on this planet leaves this planet behind? This little donkey saved my life. Literally. And now he’s gone home 🌈🫏✨
I was so blessed to spend everyday of the last 14 years with this little being made of love & starlight 💫 As many of you know from his viral Dodo video, Ronnie also lost his little boy & fell into a deep mourning… even refusing to eat. An unbearable grief that I am all too familiar with. That’s why he ended up at my sanctuary in 2012. For a fresh start. And although it was a rough road at the beginning… we spent years healing together. I truly believe it takes a bereaved parent to help another bereaved parent through the pain. No matter the species. And we helped each other ❤️🩹
For the next week or so… this is basically going to be a Ronnie tribute page. I’ll be sharing some of our happy memories throughout the years & more of his last twilight months here in the Redwoods. 🌲
Since my return to social media after a long hiatus, I’ve had many of you message me about making a donation. And I want to make clear that we have gone back to a private nonprofit like I was for the first seven years. I tried the 501c3 for a little while… but the truth is, this is a one-woman sanctuary & I’m absolutely terrible at asking for donations. 😅 That primarily stems from the fact that I’m absolutely terrible at asking for help in general. A trauma response trait that I’m working on 🧘🏼♀️🤕
But I want to thank those of you that decided to make a gift donation even though we’re no longer 501c3… but we are still a nonprofit foundation & I’ve been blown away by how many of you want to contribute! It’s unbelievably appreciated!! So if you would still like to send a gift in Ronnie’s honor our Venmo is:
Robin Birdsong @ EnchantedFarmSanctuary 💕
PayPal is: @ EnchantedFarmSanc
And it means the world!!! 🙏🏼✨
So buckle up for a the upcoming “Ronnie Celebration of Life Tribute Festival” here on IG ☺️ He lived a long life & I want to focus on all the wonderful memories & make these tears joyful! 😭
I love you, Ronnie. Always. ♥️
“May the last embrace of the Mother welcome you home” 🌈🫏✨
