Beth is starting this fundraiser for Christie Phro, Ozarks Church of Nature, aka Shamanka Aphrodite, during an incredibly painful emergency. Shamanka’s livestock protection and guard dogs were poisoned, and what should have been ordinary days turned into a heartbreaking fight for their lives. Tragically, one of the dogs, Penny, has already died. Now Shamanka is doing everything possible to save the surviving dog, Zeus, and get the urgent veterinary care that is needed. This has brought not only deep grief, but also overwhelming emergency vet bills at a time when the focus should be on helping Zeus pull through.

The funds raised will go toward the emergency veterinary expenses Shamanka is facing as she tries to save Zeus. Beth is asking friends, family, and anyone moved by this story to please support Shamanka Aphrodite in any way they can. Every donation, no matter the size, can help ease the burden of these high medical costs and give Shamanka a little more room to focus on care, hope, and healing. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Shamanka, Zeus, and Penny’s memory in your thoughts during this devastating time.
