2022 HummDinger
Jerry & Kim Kimbro

The 2022 Hummdinger Award was presented to Jerry and Kim Kimbro for their dedication to llamas in need of rescue and re-homing.  Jerry has been on the LANA Lifeline Committee for many years, coordinating transport, funds and foster homes as needed.  Jerry and Kim once took in 65 neglected llamas as fosters during a single rescue operation a few years ago.  A set of week old twins were part of that rescue and their mother unfortunately died after arriving at the ranch.  Kim spent many sleepless nights bottle feeding and caring for the twins who survived the loss of their mother.  Jerry also moderates the California Llama Alpaca Rehome Group page on Facebook.  He is always busy vetting possible homes and connecting llamas and people together to find that perfect match.  Thank you to Jerry and Kim for all your hard work and love of llamas.
