| Wendi |
One of the many things I am passionate about is helping those in need. I don't care if it's a person or an animal I will contribute what I can in hope that it makes their life a little bit better or grows awareness for a cause. I have fostered a sweet little girl in Africa, a whale off the Atlantic Coast, adopted my dogs from the shelter and my latest soft spot is for the adorable orphaned elephants in East Africa. Nothing tears me up more than seeing people and animals that have no say of their fate in life. I ran across a story on particular orphaned elephant named Wendi, who was rescued from the David Sheldrick Fund in Kenya. Just a few days old with her umbilical cord still attached she was found alone in the swamp after her family had fled due to poachers. The Orphans Project has given her the name Wendi, which in the local tribal dialect means HOPE. The project rescues elephants and rhinos just like Wendi that have been orphaned due to the disgusting poaching problem in that region and gives HOPE to the innocent animals that have been treated so horribly by the hands of selfish humans.

I have been fostering Wendi since February. For a $50 minimum yearly fee you can help support this project with the rehabilitation of the elephants and rhinos after being rescued. You will receive monthly journal updates along with watercolor paintings of your new friend. I really love this project and feel they do a great job of helping the orphans and keeping those fostering them informed about the situation that is taking place. The $50 sponsorship fee is priceless compared to the life you help give to these magical creatures! For more information check out
