For those who are familiar with my deep affection for animals, you understand the special place they hold in my heart. As my birthday approaches, I am reaching out to request donations for a cause that holds immense significance to me. Lucy, my cherished companion of 19.5 years, was not just a pet but my best friend. Her joy in accompanying me anywhere and basking in the warmth of the sun is a memory I hold dear.
Sadly, Lucy departed this world just two days after my birthday on February 3, 2023. The void left by her absence is felt every single day, and in her honor, I am dedicated to supporting a cause that reflects the love and companionship animals bring to our lives. Your contributions will not only commemorate Lucy's memory but also make a meaningful impact on the well-being of other animals in need. Thank you for considering this heartfelt request as we celebrate my birthday with a purpose close to my heart.
Best Friends Animal Society is the leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters by 2025. They run lifesaving programs all across the country, as well as the nation's largest no-kill animal sanctuary. Working collaboratively with a network of more than 4,000 animal welfare and shelter partners, and community members nationwide, Best Friends is working to Save Them All®.
That's why I created this fundraiser.
When you donate to my fundraiser, you'll be helping around 1,600 dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, and other barnyard animals who on any given day reside at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Plus, you'll be helping to save the lives of homeless pets all across the country through lifesaving adoption and spay/neuter programs, no-kill initiatives, and more.
