On January 7th, we lost Shelby—a bright, devoted partner and animal lover—unexpectedly and far too soon at just 32 years old. She left behind her husband, Eddie, and a house full of life: their 3 beloved dogs and 4 cherished cats. For Shelby, these 7 fur babies weren't just pets. They were family.

As Eddie now navigates this difficult loss, he is also facing the overwhelming reality of maintaining their home and caring for their large animal family on his own.

I’ve started this fundraiser to ensure that while my brother Eddie grieves, he doesn’t have to worry about housing or the ability to care for the animals he and Shelby love so much. Your donations will go directly toward the mortgage, utilities, and the cost of food and care for their 7 pets.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps Eddie breathe a little easier as he finds his footing in this new, difficult reality. Thank you so much for surrounding him with love and for all of your thoughtfulness and support.
