My life is enriched by supporting these chimps. I have come to know them and love each one individually –– all through the internet. The caretakers are brilliant and loving. They update the supporters via blog posts, photos, and videos of our chimp friends. It is the most fun I have ever had donating to a charity.

I cannot undo what's been done to captive chimpanzees, but I can join other caring people in ensuring they have a loving place to call home for the remainder of their days.

Thank you all for having such vision, determination, wisdom, and hearts so big that they can hold the lives of seven amazing chimpanzees so close and dear. The Cle Elum Seven have changed me. I am grateful. I have been changed for good.
