An angel has gained her wings. ๐๐ชฝPlease join us in celebrating the life of Chanel Gemini, one of our cherished volunteers who supported us from our very humble beginnings.
Chanel was a generous, kind, and loving person who gave so much of herself to others. She graced us with her positive, sweet demeanor, always willing to lend a helping hand. Chanel was one of our very first volunteers at the Sanctuary, at a time when we only had Moana, Haku, and Hei Hei. The Sanctuary was a dream, a vision, that Chanel had thoroughly supported with all of her heart. We are eternally grateful for the hard work and energy Chanel invested into our sanctuary. Chanel volunteered with us as an animal caretaker. Which at that time, was an all encompassing role to support the animals daily needs. Our animal caretakers did everything from putting sunscreen on animals, feeding, cleaning enclosures, and assisting with medications. They supported all of our operations so that we can be the sanctuary we are today. Our volunteers are the backbone of everything we do, and it is our volunteers who supported us from the beginning that allowed us to develop a sustainable sanctuary for the animals.
Chanel was a positive light in all of our lives. She poured so much love into the animals, giving them lots of hugs, kisses, and treats. She represented and enacted the mission of the sanctuary in her daily life, to provide a safe and loving space for all beings. We are grateful to be directly impacted by the compassion and light Chanel offered to this world.
We share our deepest condolences to her loved ones and family members.
We love you, Chanel. Thank you for gifting us with your presence. The impact you have made on us, and the animals, is forever.
