Chris’s birthday is on October 18th, and this year she doesn’t want gifts or cards — she’s asking for something much more meaningful.

Chris runs Spirits Rest Animal Sanctuary, a safe haven for rescued animals and a place built on love, compassion, and tireless dedication. Alongside caring for the sanctuary residents, Chris also helps with animal welfare work in the local community, offering support wherever it’s needed most.

But as costs for food, vet care, shelter maintenance, and supplies continue to rise, it’s becoming harder to keep up. That’s why for her birthday, Chris’s biggest wish is to raise as much as possible to help cover the mounting expenses and keep Spirits Rest thriving.

Every donation — no matter the amount — will go directly toward caring for the animals and supporting the sanctuary’s ongoing work.

Let’s make this birthday one to remember by showing Chris just how much her compassion inspires us all.

Donate today and help Chris keep the sanctuary animals safe, healthy, and loved.
