I am Mikayla's mother Stephanie. I want to be able to help financially take care of the animals she has left behind. Her Best Friends family immediately took her two elderly greyhounds into their home. Because of Indies untreatable condition she had to be put down Friday. Below is Indie before her leg began to give out:
Bells will need ongoing care to live out her days with her beautiful new family. Here is a sweet video Mikayla made that shows the love and laughter Bells brought to her life:
I would also like to have a celebration of Mikayla's life that she deserves. She did so much for so many. It will be a total of two weeks I will be off work. Hopefully I will be emotionally sound enough to go back .
Mikayla Carmen Robello, 21, known to those closest to her as “Toolie,” “MK,” or preferred nickname “Fran,” passed away in her home in Tempe, AZ on February 4th, 2021.
Mikayla put others before herself, her deep care for the people and animals around her was a natural expression of her love and spirit. Her turn to vegetarianism in the 4th grade was just the beginning of her compassion for animals. Mikayla’s love for dogs grew with her age, and she dedicated much of her time and energy to taking care of shelter canines. As a volunteer for the Humane Society, she fostered dogs, learning and reporting each pooch’s needs so they could find a loving home. As an owner herself, she preferred the company of senior pups. Indeed, Mikayla’s home was truly a hospice—she helped older dogs spend the last of their time enjoying the best days of their life. She kept her family up-to-date on the latest happenings and photos of Rango, Opal, Bells, and Indie—senior animals she loved as if they were her children.
Though she wouldn’t admit it, Mikayla was a talented artist who worked in ceramics, acrylic and watercolor paint, mosaic, and pencil. She could have made a living with her craft and creativity, but preferred to use her talent to surprise friends and family with cherished, charming works of art. She had no trouble transforming strangers into friends, and her ease in speaking to those around her made her joy contagious (her smile, shining like the sun, was helpful in this regard).
She lives on through her loved ones, We hold her love, talent, care, and thoughtfulness close to our hearts.
Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
With love,
Stephanie
