"we want to show him that being a monkey IS fun"....how sweet! Thank u so much for caring for these precious babies🙏

When I saw Gimli again as a traumatized baby it brought tears of sorrow to my eyes. But when I saw him at the end of the video it brought tears of joy to my eyes. I will never forget seeing Gimli playing with an empty toilet paper roll and the joy on his face. It was then that I knew he was going to be okay. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in helping Gimli get to where he is today!!!

Gimli literally mad me cry the way he was when he came in. I am so very happy for lil Gimli so happy

Wow, I felt so bad for little Gimli when he first came to you all, but now after watching him, how he slowly broke out his Shell from the results of all your efforts, he has finally started enjoying being a baby monkey again, this makes me so very happy for him! All of you at the VMF are so AWESOME, and GOOD FORTUNE comes to All People who are AWESOME❗ 💗🙏 😊

What an incredible recap of precious little Gimli's story from being sooo heartbroken to being a feisty and lovable little dude enjoying his life!! Dave, we so appreciate you sharing these recaps with us and love your awesome narrations! Many, many thanks to all there at the Foundation for your continuous love and care of these precious vervet monkeys! God Bless You All!! 🐒💙🙏

Thank you volunteers, you’re all amazing xx

The narrator brings tears to my eyes. Tells the story beautifully

LOVED THIS. Thanks, Dave, nice to see Gimli breakthrough his despair, as you say we never know what the trauma has done, and just how they are going to deal with it. Would like to say thank you, to you and the whole team, your sanctuary is a Godsend and you all deserve the highest praise, especially at these difficult times.

Thank you for the touching story about little Gimli 🙏💚

We want to thank everyone that gives of themselves. These precious babies need to be who they are.

Such a lovely video of little Gimli. Also love Dave’s narrating. I could listen to him for hours talking about his beloved monkeys.

They have feelings just like us humans. This place is so amazing...

Was crying seeing Gimli curled up into himself at the beginning. It broke my heart. So happy he is doing so well now.

That’s so sad. I wish i was there to help.

Gimli!!!! The wonder baby!! Awesome video on his journey and how he went from traumatized to star!!! 😍😍👍👍👏👏💖💜💙💛

Dave you are so very humble in your herculean efforts to help and save the orphan vervets. If not for your Foundation, I can't even imagine what would happen to souls like little GImli. Thank you for including us and making us feel as if we are making a difference. The true catalyst is you and your wonderful Foundation! Thank you so much for this mini- film on Gimli's story! I love your narration- you always capture exactly what is going on and what these creatures are feeling. I could listen to your wisdom all day! Much love from the States!

This sad little monkey. My heart goes out to little Gimli. He is displaying what so many of these orphans must feel once lost from their Mothers and family. What an incredible blessing you all are to these beautiful, special animals. God bless you all!

Sutch a wonderful story ...not in the beginning ,but thanks to you this ended well

I’m excited just adopted Gimli! You are all so awesome helping and showing so much love!!

When I seen how sad and withdrawn Gimli was it just really broke my heart. I could tell that he had a very happy life before this and that he was very close to his mom. No telling what he seen or how he became an orphan but the way he has lighten up since gaining a foster mom shows you how important the bond between baby and mom is.
