HELP ME HOLD THE LIGHT

I believe in love and in being a beacon of light for others to follow. The fabric of my being and foundation of my heart work with animals and community is based on cultivating joy through caregiving; elevating and supporting others no matter the species is my activism. I was born with this purpose.

Recently, I have dedicated myself to Hurricane Helene relief work in Western North Carolina in my beloved community of Old Fort, the neighboring community of Marion and transforming my vehicle into a mobile emergency supply distribution center for pets and people within an hour radius of Asheville. Active projects include hosting a cat who got separated from her family in the flood until they can be reunited as well as caregiving and rescue for displaced dogs and cats in McDowell County. The need is great.

Service work is my great passion. All personal projects are self funded. YOU can help sustain my service to others as a floating anchor of support for pets and people in need by donating through the option below.
