I am so glad this dear soul is with you. I know she has been happy and you are doing your best to help her to be comfortable in her last days.
When I get my income up and going again (it is bad here in the U.S.) I will start sending you regular donations. Even though ti will only be $50 a month, it will start coming. Someday, I will come and visit you and give you many hugs since you are so sweet to these wonderful elephants. Whatever became of Edwin Leik. Did he ever get his eles and other animals back from the Thai government??
Sincerely,
CIndy Wines

Thank You Elephant Foundation for taking and giving her the freedom she so deserved.
I know you will care for her and comfort her during her last days on this earth.
Peace, Jules
