My Nonprofit Reviews

I’m also a volunteer! My “client served” story is: I awoke to find my beloved mini macaw barely responsive. Through tears/panic I crated him and sent a message to Kim asking where their emergency vet was. She got back to me immediately and gave the address, even offering to do turn-by -turn directions with me. She then offered to call ahead and let them know I was on my way with a critical bird. I was SO GRATEFUL for that! The vet staff met me right away upon arrival! Four days later Kim also wept with me as we mourned Scooter’s passing. Kim’s passion/compassion for ANY bird is evident.

My husband and I have also adopted a pair of lovebirds and a conure from EAST. Our lives are that much richer for the love we’ve added in our house.

Once I was no longer working nights, I began volunteering. EAST - all of EAST- volunteers, Board of Directors, Kim, Kathy, EVERYONE, are amazing people. I’ve worked for one of the most well-known bird sanctuaries in the USA and from that experience, let me say unequivocally, these folks are the REAL DEAL. This organization is highly ethical and a true gift to our area.
