🎂🐘 Katherine’s Birthday Wish: Rescue Lucky

Katherine, founder of Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES), doesn’t want gifts for her birthday.

She has one wish:

Rescue Lucky.

And we don’t have much time.


🐘 Lucky’s Story

Lucky is in her forties—and has spent her entire life in chains.

Used in tourist camps, she was forced to carry heavy riding benches for years.

When tourism collapsed, her suffering worsened.

She was brutally used for forced breeding—her legs shackled, unable to escape.
When the bull attacked, Lucky was left with a shattered pelvis and broken hind leg.

She should have been allowed to rest.

Instead, she was sent to logging.

For the past eight years, this injured, disabled elephant has been forced to drag heavy timber through the mountains.

Every step is pain.


🚨 This Is Urgent

Enough is enough. We have the power to bring this nightmare to an end.

We have a rare opportunity to secure Lucky’s freedom—but we must act now.

Your donation will help:

  • Secure her release
  • Transport her to safety
  • Provide critical veterinary care
  • Support her lifelong recovery at BLES

If we don’t act quickly, Lucky stays where she is.


🧡 Be Her Rescue

At BLES, Lucky will finally rest.
No chains. No labor. No fear.

Just care, safety, and the chance to live like an elephant again.

🐘 Donate now. Help bring Lucky home.



This campaign is powered by The Elephant Initiative, a U.S. nonprofit,  in support of Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary (BLES).
