For my birthday this year, I’m asking for donations on behalf of the animal shelter I volunteer at. Meriden Humane Society is a nonprofit rescue that works tirelessly to save and rehabilitate homeless animals. Animal intakes are at an all-time high right now, leaving rescues like ours overwhelmed.

Adoption celebrations are celebrated but short-lived since we’re quick to coordinate our next save. Our residents, both young and old; new and long-term, receive the best care while here.

Instead of birthday gifts, I’m asking friends, family, and fellow animal lovers to consider donating to this GoFundMe. All funds raised will go directly to Meriden Humane Society to help with vet bills, food, supplies, and other critical needs.

Even a small donation makes a huge difference. Thank you for helping me make this birthday one that helps save lives.
