Our Story
The way I feel now — my happiness, my energy — the world is bright. I would not trade it for all the dope in the world.
— Kat
Recovery is a blessing, but it comes with sacrifice. Leaving our dogs behind while we focus on healing has been heartbreaking. Traveling to Texas now would put our recovery at risk, and financially, it’s not possible. This fundraiser exists to safely reunite Donde & Tucker with us in California so we can continue our healing without compromising the progress we’ve worked so hard for.

A Message from Shane
We are 23 days clean together and learning how to live life on life’s terms. This gift, however, has come with a big sacrifice — leaving our precious dogs behind.
Returning to Texas now would jeopardize our recovery, and we do not have the personal resources to make it happen. That’s why we’re reaching out to anyone who feels moved to help us reunite with Donde & Tucker.
Every bit of support — financial, logistical, or simply sharing this fundraiser — helps us move forward.
With gratitude,
Shane
