Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear tiny hats and show up every single month without being asked.

The Sanctuary of Hope runs on love — and on the very real, very unglamorous costs of daily animal care: fencing repairs, bedding, feed supplements, vet supplies, and a hundred other small things that quietly keep everything running. As a Sanctuary Helper Elf, your $5 a month goes directly into the general fund that holds this place together.

You'll receive monthly sanctuary updates and the knowledge that you are, genuinely, one of the elves keeping the magic alive here. No task too small. No contribution too modest. Every single dollar matters.

For $10 a month, you become the hero our feathered residents didn't know they needed.

The Sanctuary of Hope is home to four chickens, a goose, and a duck — each with their own personality, quirks, and story. Your monthly support covers feed, bedding, and the daily care that keeps our aviary flock healthy and thriving.

As an Aviary Hero, you'll receive exclusive monthly updates and photos featuring our birds, straight from the farm. Whether it's a chicken's unexpected personality, our goose's dramatic opinions about everything, or our duck's daily waddle routine — you'll have a front-row seat to all of it.

Small contribution. Big wings. Real impact

Meet Daisy and Oscar — two pot-bellied pigs with enormous personalities packed into perfectly round little bodies. Daisy is the opinionated one. Oscar is the hungry one. Together they are absolutely impossible to resist.

At $25 a month, Belly Buddies cover the food and bedding that keeps our favorite duo rooting, snoozing, and causing their particular brand of adorable chaos on the farm.

As a Belly Buddy, you'll receive exclusive monthly updates and photos of Daisy and Oscar — their antics, their appetites, and their surprisingly strong feelings about everything. Fair warning: once you meet them, you'll never stop thinking about them.

Daisy and Oscar have found their safe place. You helped build it.

For just $50 a month — the real cost of hay, grain, and bedding for one goat — you can be the reason a rescued animal eats well, sleeps warm, and feels safe.

As a Goat Guardian, you can select one of our sanctuary resident goats and receive exclusive monthly updates including photos and behind-the-scenes glimpses of life on the farm, straight from our sanctuary. You'll also receive a digital sponsorship certificate and the knowledge that your name is directly tied to an animal who needed someone to show up for them.

You showed up. Thank you.

Red is a mini horse who clearly didn't get the memo about being small. Muddy and Puzzle are paint Shetland ponies with the combined energy of twelve animals. And Bumi the donkey? Bumi simply does not take nonsense from anyone.

This group is chaotic, lovable, and deeply committed to doing things their own way. At $100 a month, Paddock Pals cover the hay, grain, and bedding that fuels their very full little lives.

As a Paddock Pal, you'll receive exclusive monthly updates featuring this magnificent, motley crew — their rivalries, their friendships, and their ongoing insistence on being the most entertaining corner of the sanctuary. Buckle up. It's never boring in the paddock.

Meet Roxy, a bold red mare who knows exactly what she wants and isn't shy about letting you know. Meet Burple, a grey gelding whose calm, gentle presence could slow your heart rate just by standing near him. Together they are two of the most majestic residents at The Sanctuary of Hope — and two of the most expensive to feed.

At $250 a month, Stable Guardians cover the hay, grain, and bedding that keeps our large equine residents healthy, comfortable, and full of opinions. This is serious animal care for seriously wonderful horses.

As a Stable Guardian, you'll receive exclusive monthly updates and photos of Roxy and Burple straight from the farm, a digital sponsorship certificate, and a special acknowledgment on our website. These horses were given a second chance. You're the reason it's a good one.

Scooby-Moo is hard to miss. He's our gentle giant — a massive, soulful ox who arrived at The Sanctuary of Hope and promptly made it clear that he intended to stay forever. And we were absolutely fine with that.

Caring for an ox is no small undertaking. At $500 a month, Scooby-Moo's Angels cover the real cost of feeding and bedding one of the sanctuary's largest and most beloved residents — hay, grain, and the sheer volume of both that a creature his size requires to stay healthy and happy.

As a Scooby-Moo's Angel, you'll receive exclusive monthly updates and photos dedicated to the big guy himself — his moods, his meals, his moments of unexpected grace. You'll also receive a premium digital sponsorship certificate, a special acknowledgment on our website, and the eternal gratitude of one very large ox who has no idea how much you've done for him.

There's only one Scooby-Moo. And now there's only one you — his Angel.

Some needs don't fit neatly into a category. A fence that needs emergency repair. A new resident arriving with unexpected medical needs. A enrichment project for the animals. A piece of equipment that finally gave out after one too many Rhode Island winters.

The Special Projects Team fund exists for exactly those moments — the ones you can't plan for but can't ignore. Whatever you can give, it goes directly toward whatever the sanctuary needs most right now.

There's no wrong amount. Every dollar joins a pool of support that shows up exactly when and where it's needed. If you've ever wished you could just hand us a little something for the cause — this is that.
