My name is Monique Delafuente and I am putting together a fundraiser for our family run business, Canton Grand Safari Adventure. Our facility is located in East Texas between Canton and Grand Saline, just an hour outside of Dallas.

Canton Grand Safari Adventure is a small family run private Interactive Zoo and Primate Sanctuary located in East Texas. Our goal as a business is to provide one on one interaction with some of the world's most amazing animals. We believe that if you raise children to love animals and understand them and their importance to our world that those children will go on to try and fight for the animals in the wild.

Due to recent tornados, storms and flooding we are reaching out to the community to help raise funds to repair our damages. We have well over $30,000 worth of damages that insurance will not cover. We have acres of fencing down that needs to be rebuilt, our bridge to our alligator feedings was blown off its frame and is needing to be replaced. Our dock has been completely submerged and is requiring replacement as well.

Our gift shop had some damage from flood waters and we have several downed trees needing removal.

Our primate sanctuary has had to close intake until we are able to make the repairs needed as we cannot afford to be building new enclosures for incoming animals since we are having to use every penny coming in to repair the facility.

We are asking for help from our community and our followers to help us raise these funds so that we may continue to serve you all and to teach the coming generations just how important God's creatures are to us and our world.
