🐐✨ Help Us Build a Home for the Heart of Our Sanctuary ✨🐓

Goal: $20,000 | Project: On-Site Manager Housing at Magical Creatures Sanctuary

At Magical Creatures Sanctuary, we believe every life is worth protecting—from our special needs animals with prosthetics, to our free roaming cows rescued from slaughter, to our happy pigs who now roam free under our care. We are a nonprofit farmed animal rescue dedicated to providing lifelong sanctuary to animals who’ve endured neglect, abuse, or abandonment.

But now, we need your help to care even better for the animals who depend on us.

🏡 Why We Need Manager Housing

The heart of any sanctuary is its people. And here, our on-site volunteers are not just staff—they’re family. They respond to emergencies, provide around-the-clock care, and ensure every animal gets the love and attention they deserve. For the last five years, our animal-care volunteers have shared an off grid yurt, but it is not big enough to house everyone.

Currently, we are in need of expanding our manager team. As a fully volunteer-run organization on a remote island, we cannot operate without dedicated management to ensure efficient and effective operations. We need managers to stay for longer amounts of time in order to ensure continuity and stability, thus needing their own private housing. Managers not only ensure an educational and enriching experience for our animal care interns, but they operate day-and-night, responding quickly to after-hours needs like:

Medical emergencies and injuries
Nighttime routines
Severe weather issues
Off-grid challenges (water, solar, etc)
Last minute staffing needs

By building a sustainable living space on sanctuary grounds, namely Manager Village, we can ensure 24/7 coverage for our most vulnerable residents—and provide our managers with a safe, stable home close to the animals they’ve devoted their everything to.

💸 Where Your Donations Go

Every dollar brings us closer to making this vision a reality:

$14,000 – Tiny home-style structure & materials
$3,000 – A communal kitchen, living space, and shower
$2,000 – Volunteer bathroom to replace our porta potty
$1,000 – Installation, furnishings, finishing touches

We’re committed to transparency, and every donor will receive updates as we build, including photos and progress reports. Follow us on social media for stories of our animals you are helping us care for.

🐖 The Impact

With manager housing in place, our sanctuary will be better equipped to:

Hire longer term management and operate more sustainably for years to come
Ensure our caretakers can continue their round-the-clock work without burnout
Provide higher-quality, consistent care
Open our doors for more tours and community engagement
Offer a safe home for the humans at the heart of it all

🌟 Be Part of the Magic

Whether you can give $10 or $1,000, your gift matters. You're not just building a house—you’re creating a future where compassion lives on, every single day.

👉 Donate now and help us raise $20,000 to build a home where healing, hope, and magic thrive.

All donations of $1,000 or more will receive a customized named placard to be placed outside of Manager Village, next to our visitor area.

From all of us at Magical Creatures Sanctuary—both two- and four-legged—thank you for believing in a better world.

With gratitude,
🐐 The Team at Magical Creatures Sanctuary 🐔

Magical Creatures Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 nonprofit animal rescue and sanctuary located on the beautiful Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Our Sanctuary is founded on a profound compassion for all animals, focusing on those who have experienced uncommon hardships. We do not keep livestock or breed stock, nor do we employ working animals. Whether horse, cow, pig, sheep, goat, dog, cat, or chicken, a Magical Creatures of Hamakua resident just needed a little help living out their best lives.

For us, the animals in our care are all equal with their own unique needs. We aim to provide the most loving safe haven possible for these truly special beings.
