If you know my sister Kelly, you know she’s one of the kindest, most selfless people you’ll ever meet. She’s spent her life caring for animals, and as a dedicated zookeeper, she gives her time, energy, and heart to creatures great and small — and to everyone lucky enough to know her.

Now, she’s facing a challenge that no one is ever prepared for: a battle with ovarian cancer. True to her nature, she’s been strong, humble, and reluctant to ask for help. But the reality is, she needs support — emotionally, physically, and financially — to focus on healing without the added weight of medical bills and missed work.

We’re asking for help on her behalf, so she can continue to bring her quiet strength and compassion to the world. Every donation, share, or kind message makes a difference and means more than words can express.
