Dear friends and animal lovers,

We urgently need your help!

Our name is "Chi Jungle Man" and we are taking care of 3 female elephants: a 1 year old baby Bai Boua, her 22 years old mother Buatong and the 67 years old adoptive grandma Mae Lou, in Chiang Mai (Thailand).

We're trying to give them the best life possible in their natural habitat, together as a family.

We're funding everything for them: food, home, lands, care, as well as for their caretakers the mahouts, thanks to our customers.

We welcome visitors in small group to observe elephants in nature and watch their natural behavior.

(You can see our work on our social media Facebook or Instagram @chijungleman.)

However for the past two months we have been dealing with a very low touristic season, few bookings and cancellations due to the Middle East war.

Our funds are getting really low and we barely have enough to survive this month.

Unfortunately this is also the moment that the elephant shelter we built just 6 months ago completely broke down due to heavy rain and strong wind.

We have to rebuild the shelter as soon as possible because the rainy season is upon us and the elephants need a safe place to sleep.

We tried to push this as long as we could but with this incident we have to face it now we need all the support we can get.

We know that everyone is struggling at the moment with rising prices, we've been impacted a lot too.

The people who already know us can tell you that we only ask for help for real emergencies.

We want to rebuild the shelter with stronger material and we estimated the cost of work to 100 000 bahts (around 3000 USD, 2600 Euros...).

So can you please spare a little bit of money for our elephant family?

Every donation count, every Baht, Euro, Dollar, Pound...can significantly help us.

Thank you for reading us.

Thank you for any help you can give, whether it's money or sharing this campaign with your friends, family, colleagues.

We'll be really grateful.
