<div>Two weeks ago, the unthinkable happened. Holly had her car packed to move across the country—someone smashed her car window and stole a bag of precious items. She had her dog Tia's ashes, ceramic paw prints, and a memorial stuffed animal in her car. Her husband Brandon posted to Reddit and even got the story on the local news. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It spread far and wide, but still no word on finding Tia. I saw the post and offered to create posters and tape them up in the area the items went missing, since Brandon and Holly are both now out of state. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ten days later, Brandon got the sweetest text from a man named Chris, who found Tia's memorial items! Chris, it turns out, has been homeless for seven years, and was searching a dumpster for discarded items to resell. He found the bag with Tia's items and held onto them because he knew someone would be missing them. A few days later, he was lucky enough to see one of the posters and get in contact with Brandon to get Tia home. When we met up so I could pick up the items to ship to Holly, he was just the kindest person!

</div>
<div>He didn't even want a reward, but we think he deserves the same level of support he showed a fellow dog lover in keeping Tia's items safe and getting her home safely. Just this past Friday, Chris reached a huge milestone: he moved into his very first apartment. This is a life-changing moment for him, but starting over comes with a lot of expenses. Chris needs help covering rent, getting basic furniture, and buying essentials to make his new place feel like home. He’s also caring for Reo, a dog he rescued from the street, and support will help provide for his furry friend as well.

<div>Chris is an absolute angel for finding these items and getting them home! If you’re able to help, your support will mean the world to him as he builds a new chapter in his life. Thank you for considering a donation and for being part of Chris’s journey.
