Christine Mantyla and Nena of Nena's Waxing here, and we are doing this Go Fund Me for our friend Jennifer and her late partner Tony. You may know Jennifer and Tony if you've ever been to the veteran nonprofit, Patriots and Paws in Anaheim, CA. Jennifer and Tony ran operations at the warehouse helping veterans daily. They also are animal rescuers helping abused and homeless animals heal up and find shelter. They have always dedicated their lives to helping the less fortunate or "the underdog."

Now it is time they receive much needed support!! Tony passed away in his sleep late Monday night/Tuesday morning, June 18, 2024.

Jennifer is left to find a way to grieve through this sudden and unexpected loss. She has to continue to pay the bills, feed the animals, go to work, help people while at work, save animals, and find a way to lay Tony to rest.

Jennifer needs our help!!! Please help us as we raise funds for Jennifer to help with the costs of the services, along with the everyday expenses that come with a sudden loss, while Jennifer regroups and finds her footing.

Nena and I are so appreciated and admire Jennifer for her courage and strength during this time as she continues to help others. Her and Tony have made such a HUGE impact in our lives that we hope to BLESS Jennifer during this time to feel the tiny bit of love and support that she gives others daily.

Please help us reach our goal of $16,500 to help with all these memorial expenses and to provide her rent and food assistance so she can take a few days off of work to process emotionally.

Thank you ALL in advance for helping us bless Jennifer and the memory of Tony! They are seen in the picture above with one of their rescues, Ishka (ISHKA THE GREAT)!
