Bales for Eles: Help Us Reach Our Goal!
Winter has settled in at Elephant Refuge North America (ERNA)—well, South Georgia’s mild version of winter! From a rare snowfall last month to temperatures in the 70s, the weather keeps us guessing. However, one thing that remains constant is the need to provide high-quality Timothy hay for Bo, Tarra, and Mundi during this season of slower grass growth.
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already raised $2,225, but we still need your help to reach our goal of $8,470. Timothy hay is essential for their diet, offering high fiber, species-appropriate protein (around 7%), and essential minerals. Its abrasive texture supports their digestive health and provides plenty of fuel for cooler days (and unexpectedly warm ones, too).
Since high-quality Timothy hay isn’t grown in humid climates, we import it from Ohio. One semi-trailer hauls 770 bales for $11 per bale, delivered.
How You Can Help:
🎁 Sponsor a Bale: Donate $11 to fund one bale of Timothy hay.
🎁Support 10 Bales: Contribute $110 to provide ten bales.
🎁Go Big with 100 Bales: Donate $1,100 to cover one hundred bales.
With Tarra’s birthday on February 14th, there’s no better way to celebrate than by ensuring all three elephants—Bo, Tarra, and Mundi—have the nourishment they need to stay healthy and happy this winter.
Thank you for being a part of their journey and giving the gift of good health!
Let’s rally together to load up Bales for Eles and meet our goal!
Every donation is greatly appreciated and helps us take care of the magnificent elephant residents under our care.
