Help Me Give Animals the Love They Deserve   

Animals have been part of my heart since I was a child growing up on a small farm in Chile. They taught me kindness and companionship, but they also showed me how vulnerable they are when humans don’t step in. Since I have memory, I’ve rescued countless animals, dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, even a seagull I once carried into my dorm because I had no way to get it help. I’ve always stepped in, even when I couldn’t do much, because every life matters. I’m running to raise funds for animals who are scared, hurt, or passing a bad time, animals who just need someone to be there. If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, you can be that someone.

Thank you, for caring, for giving, and for helping me make sure no animal is forgotten
