May the Donkey, named for the month she came to Matabeleland Animal Rescue and Equine Sanctuary in Zimbabwe, arrived in a very bad state. She had a fractured leg, broken pelvis, and a massive hernia on her right side- probably due to being struck by a vehicle at some point. On top of all that, she was heavily pregnant! Luckily we were able to nurse her back to health in time for her foal to be born. 

May gave birth to Hope, a beautiful and healthy little filly, six weeks after arriving at MARES. I arrived a few minutes after Hope was born and helped her stand and learn to nurse. I will never forget that amazing experience. We were delighted that mama and filly were both happy and healthy.  May is a wonderful mother.  Little Hope would run all over the place with the zoomies and May was able to keep a close, protective eye on her. Hope made friends with the dogs and chickens and the other foals, but we humans were probably the most charmed by her.
