Help 270 rescued animals in Colombia

Hello everyone,

I’m Tatiana, and I hope you will join me in supporting the rescued animals living at Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary in Colombia. The founder, Juliana, is a dear friend of mine who has dedicated most of her life to caring for hundreds of animals rescued from some of the most heartbreaking conditions, facing many challenges but always sacrificing everything for them while continuously creating awareness of the plight of animals in the country.

While I’m from Colombia and started my animal rights activism there, I had already moved to the US when I met Juliana through Facebook in 2012 when she was looking to move the sanctuary to another property. Learning that someone in my country was doing what I could only dream about doing myself inspired me to support Juliana in any way I could.

Since the sanctuary continued to grow but donations did not, in 2014, I supported Juliana in registering the sanctuary as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 47-3548963) in the United States to reach animal lovers who cared about all animals, regardless of where they live. Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary is the only sanctuary verified by the Global Federation For Animal Sanctuaries in South America and has received recognition from the local government. These certifications attest to Juliana's high standard of care for each resident at the sanctuary.

This outstanding care comes at a high financial cost, which has increased over the last few months because of the severe effects of the El Niño (drought) in Colombia and higher supply prices. Juliana typically covers most of the expenses with her income from her various jobs (besides running the sanctuary!). Still, she lost some of that after she had to care for her dad after an accident.

Your support, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in the lives of 270 rescued animals in Colombia. If we reach the goal, we will cover the sanctuary expenses for three months! Juliana could then dedicate more time to recovering some of her income and establishing projects to support the animals in the long run.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with family and friends.

Thank you so much for your attention and generous support!
