In 2012, when I was 47, I founded: Save Animals in Shelters, Inc. I started the charity because of my own abuse as a victim. The charity was formed to save the lives of homeless cats and dogs in high kill shelters. Most of my days are spent generating revenue from products sales, so i can help other ANIMAL SHELTERS and 501(c)(3) rescues. I also teach free classes on mathematics and science. In 2021, I gave $10,000 to a fund started for a young college student, amanda mcdonald who died tragically in a car accident. she loved all animals. her parents matched my donation of $10,000 and then i was awarded a grant of $10,000. total of $30.000. It was given to the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter in East Hanover, NJ to renovate their cages. woof …meow.
