Lester, this is one of the best ideas you have had. The animals and their stories are what brought all of us together and keeps us coming back. I love all of the animals and have watched your videos since the Harvey homecoming video. All the animals are special but the “survivors” and their stories are so incredible. Thank you for sharing your babies and all the stories with us year after year. Happy 2024! Love and prayers! ❤🙏🏻 God bless!

Oh I love Ima. She is amazing and a true survivor. She has such a huge personality and such love for the other animals including her humans. Her first born, Harvey, was a hand full. But a few years later came Sweet little Beverly. And she loves her mama, Ima Jean and has even made a name for self with her own personality. I am so blessed to have come across your channel several years ago, right after hurricane Harvey. Out of something horrific, a beautiful survival story began. And still today, that beautiful story continues. Ima Jean, Mama Meg, and Pady Pig, all three survivors, were the beginning of many animals to be rescued and saved. And still today, animals are being saved. Thank you Lester and Jami for sharing all these beautiful stories and continue to allow us to be a part of the journey. As you both have said many times, we are all survivors of something. God bless you both for everything you have done and continue to do and thank you for sharing the stories of the survivors again. ❤❤❤

I love this video! I think that because Ima Jean is just quietly living her best life, she and Donkey Dan sometimes gets the least air time. I totally understand because there are so many equines there with big personalities like Rita, Beverly, Ivy, and the other horses (including Indy lol) 😂. I personally think that Ima Jean has the sweetest face of all of the donkeys. I could be wrong, but it seems like the others are part zonkey while Ima Jean appears to be the one with the most pure donkey in her. Anyway, I had to put my 2 cents in about my favorite animal at IMSS, the OG herself, Ima Jean❤

I remember that day so well and how much I cried to see the three survivors. Ima is the sweetest donkey and I love to see her and donkey Dan together. We have had terrible weather in the UK for the past few days. Today the winds have been frightening along with a lot of rain and it did remind me of Harvey. Probably because we have a lot of flooding. More to come and then a possible massive dip in temperatures after this. Hopefully, people are prepared to move their animals. xxx
