Stuck in thick snow in freezing temperatures, hundreds of donkeys are suffering. Many have no shelter. They are out in the perishing cold, struggling to move or find food and water. Others are trapped inside barns – hungry, isolated and alone. These desperate donkeys need your help.

The Donkey Sanctuary has already taken action. Food is on its way - 13,000 kg of hay and straw will arrive at the emergency centre on Monday. But more needs to be done. The Donkey Sanctuary has joined forces with World Horse Welfare to provide immediate provisions to donkeys, horses and other animals trapped in snow suffering after the Abruzzo earthquake and heavy snowfall.
