Just before going out to Israel to see Lucy's amazing work first hand (I will report on my visit to Israel shortly), Lucy rescued this beautiful old donkey lady, whom she named Esther.

The Toll Highway people and local police had called Lucy, asking for her help to rescue an elderly donkey who was standing in the middle of the highway.

The police were so concerned - mostly because they didn’t want the donkey to be the cause of a car accident and any human injuries - that they partially closed the highway and waited with her until Lucy could get there with the horse trailer.

Esther is very old, probably in her twenties. Of course Lucy took her back to the sanctuary, just in time before the heavy rain started, where she pretty much immediately tucked into some tasty food as she was desperately hungry. She’s a timid, lonely little soul who far prefers her own company than that of other donkeys.

Please consider supporting Lucy’s valuable work if you can. Lucy rescues, provides a safe home and infinite love and care for donkeys who need her help in Israel and the Palestinian West Bank. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
