Abby Carroll is a 24-year-old animal advocate from Worcester, MA. Since childhood, Abby has had a particular connection to the more-than-human world, spending most of her time immersed in nature and studying animals. Her strongest desire has always been to make a positive impact by giving medical care to animals and to prevent the diseases that can cause public health crises, like bird flu and COVID-19.

Recently, just two weeks away from starting Veterinary School, Abby was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Forced to put her lifelong dream on hold, Abby is seeking support in covering medical bills for her chemo and surgeries, some procedures costing $27,000 out of pocket.
