I am raising funds for Montebello Barnyard Zoo, operated by WRW INC. The past two months have been incredibly hard on us because of the extreme heat. We have had to close early on some days and fully close on others, which has reduced our income while our bills have continued to come in. At the same time, our animals still need the same love, food, cleaning, and daily care no matter what the weather brings. We also have a major veterinary physical coming up in two months that is expected to cost about $10,000 to $15,000, and I am worried about even more challenges ahead with El Niño. More than anything, I just want to make sure our zoo will be okay and that our animals continue to have everything they need.

Your support will help us care for more than 60 farm animals by covering food, daily care, stall cleaning, trash bin service twice a week, the upcoming vet physical, and urgent repairs like broken pipes and water dispensers. Since my dad passed away two years ago, we have worked so hard to keep going and continue the legacy he built. He made this place a sanctuary to rescue animals, and it means everything to me to keep that mission alive. It is hard for me to ask for help, but we truly need it right now. Thank you so much to everyone who has visited us for field trips, birthdays, and celebrations, and to everyone who understands the work we do every day. From our farm animal family, myself, and all of our staff, we are deeply grateful for any support you can give. Your kindness will help us keep the zoo going and make more memories with our community at Montebello Barnyard Zoo.
