Jambo, Emilio is my name

I was born on April 11th, 2025, at the AAK farm. My lovely mother, Holly, the donkey, takes excellent care of me, and I had a wonderful start to life here in Shimba Hills. Fortunately, my donkey father, Mailaika, is also part of our family, and we truly are a joyful bunch. From day one, I was welcomed by the other animals on the farm; even Tommy, the wild young dog, teaches me new playful tricks and games every day. I absolutely love my time here, and the humans on the farm treat me like their beloved little one. Even though I’m still a baby, I feel grown-up enough to search for a warm-hearted person out there in the big world who is motivated to help with my well-being. Particularly during my early days, I have frequent check-ups with Vet Dr. Peter, and, of course, I require regular hoof care. Not because I’m vain, but without well-trimmed hooves, a donkey can face health issues. By sponsoring me, I promise my sponsor that I will do my best to be a wonderful donkey buddy just like my dad, and I will share lots of pictures and updates from the farm with my sponsoring friend, keeping them posted on how my life is unfolding.
I would be incredibly thankful if someone decided to support me. Thank you very much!
