Thank you so much, Rich Stuverud, for sponsoring a day of sanctuary in celebration of your wife, Lisa Stuverud, for her special day!
(You may have seen yesterday that Lisa sponsored the day in memory of her beloved sister-in-law, Linda, on their shared birthdays).
“I’d like to sponsor a day in honor of my overly wonderful wife Lisa’s birthday (a day late) It’s been wonderful sharing the joy she experiences watching the chimpanzee sanctuary family grow. To be fortunate enough to offer support and witness the great job everyone does to make their future bright is in return providing a bright future for my wife. Thank you all!!”
Happy Birthday, Lisa! We’re so grateful to you and Rich for your long-time support and friendship of the sanctuary and it’s amazing residents. You’ve helped to make so much possible in all their lives. We hope your special day and all those forward are filled with the same hope and joy the chimps’ and bovines’ days are filled with because of hearts like yours.
