Hi, my name is Carmen, and I’m raising funds to help my mother ( Ayaruna Bol ) sustain her sanctuary of love and care for rescued animals.

Over the years, we have welcomed many special souls into our home—cats, dogs, goats, chickens, and more. At the moment, we have nearly 35 cats, 4 dogs, and other rescued animals, many of them with special needs, rescued from abuse, illness, or neglect.

Here, in our countryside home, they live freely and happily, always surrounded by love. They have 24/7 access to the house, where they curl up on the couch with us, enjoy the warmth of the fireplace in winter, and, of course, try to steal a little food from mom whenever they can. But most importantly, they are always safe, cared for, and deeply loved.

However, keeping this sanctuary running is a huge financial effort. Every month, we face high costs for food, sterilizations, vet visits, medical treatments, and special care. My family and I dedicate a large portion of our income to these animals, but the reality is—we can’t do it alone.

With your help, we can continue to provide them with the dignified and loving life they deserve. Any contribution, big or small, makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign is already a great help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading our story and for any act of kindness toward these wonderful beings.
