Bring elephant Monica back home!

*URGENT NEWS!* Monica a 60 year old elephant is DESPERATE for your help! Some of you might remember Monica, a 60 year old female elephant who we helped treat here for 6 months. During her stay here she was retired from riding, spent most of her days relaxing, grazing and going on walks. She was enjoying her freedom, no chains, new friends, special diet suitable to her medical conditions and age! Due to circumstances out of our control, she left one day and never returned back to MEF. Recently we tracked her down and found her at an elephant riding safari in a terrible terrible way shape.  Some of you may remember Tikiri the Elephant that made global headlines and died...Poor Monica's health is in not much better form She is malnorished,has terrible body condition looks exhausted, overworked and is very very sick Our goal is to return her to MEF to reunite her with friends, freedom and to retire her from tourism and giver her all the medical care she needs to give her a quality of life she deserves again. We can not do this without your help! Monicas owner said we can treat her and house her at MEF but this comes at a hefty price 100,000 ($600/ euro 500) per month every month and wants 6 months money up front. We are devastated of this news and will do everything we can to get her back Could you please donate anything you can to brinh Monica home URGENTLY We cant bare her deteriorating anymore and want to get her here to recieve proper care as quickly as we can. As we are taking care of 10 other elephants now, bringing her back is not in our budget, but with your help we can do this! We really really really want her back, anything helps! Even $5 a month! ❤
