Thanks so much to DeAnna and Paul Estrada for sponsoring a day of sanctuary for their aunt, Paulette Wrisley, on her birthday!

DeAnna shared these thoughts about her special gift: Today is my aunt’s birthday and I am dedicating this day to her, the person who loves me unconditionally. My Aunt Paulette amazes me with her selfless acts of kindness, always smiling, even during the darkest storms. She is daring, beautiful, giving, and I could go on and on, but I hope you get the gist!! She loves the chimpanzees so much and as I dedicate this day to her, I also want the chimpanzees to have something fun or just special on this day in her honor.

How wonderful that we all get the opportunity to join in the celebration of Paulette! As many of you may recognize, Paulette brings a kind and joyful presence to our blog community and she has graciously sponsored many days of sanctuary helping us honor each of the chimpanzees on their birthdays. What a treat to see her honored today for the beauty she brings to life.

Happy Birthday, Paulette! Thank you for all you do to help make a lasting difference in the chimps’ lives. Have a wonderful day!
