My pleasure, I am Holly

I am the mother donkey of Emilio. I was born in 2021, close to the AAK farm in the Shimba Hills region. My first owners were unable to provide me with the time and space I needed, so they brought me to Animal Aid Kenya, where I have been living on the farm alongside all my two- and four-legged companions. I truly feel at home and safe, and I fell in love with Malaika a few years back. In 2024, Malaika and I decided to start a donkey family because we are now convinced that we can provide a nurturing environment for our children to grow up. Since the arrival of Emilio in April 2025, we have embraced our life as a happy donkey family on the farm. Besides my routine hoof care, which comes with expenses, I also require special attention from the veterinarian, Dr. Peter, as I lost a lot of energy during my pregnancy and the birth of my son, Emilio.
By supporting me, I assure my sponsor that I will strive to be a wonderful donkey companion, care for my son, and be a good partner to my family and friends here on the farm. I will definitely share many pictures and updates about myself and my family with my sponsoring friend, keeping them informed about how my life evolves.
I would be incredibly thankful if someone decided to support me. Thank you very much!
