Forever in our hearts 💔💕
We would like to take a second to honor one of our biggest supporters, John Mortensen. He is not only the father of our Executive Director, but also a man who gave the sanctuary a lot of sweat equity.
He built the chicken coop and when he tore his rotator cuff, he came back the next day with his arm in a sling and continued building!! He helped fix the sprinklers to the pastures, he worked on various building projects over the years and when he got sick, he shared his wealth of knowledge so we could continue doing the projects ourselves.
John's legacy will continue to live on at the sanctuary. He made a huge difference in our lives and the lives of the animals. It was not the cancer that defined his final chapter but the love, strength and bravery he had along the way.
