Pawl Simon’s Birthday Wish: Support Saint Paw Pet Connection and PawPurfect STL

“Every Pet Deserves a Home, and Every Home Deserves a Pet.”

Hello family, friends, and community supporters —

My name is Pawl Simon Cosby, proud owner of PawPurfect Pet Grooming Salon, serving the St. Louis community for over 17 years. This year, instead of gifts, I’m asking for something bigger — community love and support through this GoFundMe campaign to help us merge into Saint Pawl Pet Connection, our new community-based animal care and education center at 6100 West Florissant Ave.

Why This Matters — Especially Now

With the ongoing financial struggles for many pet parents, local families — and many of their pets — are feeling the pressure. Some can’t afford food, grooming, or medical care for their animals. Our staff and volunteers are also being affected, yet we continue showing up daily to care for the pets who depend on us.

Your donation helps us:

• Provide food, care, and shelter for pets in need

• Cover emergency medical costs and vaccinations

• Support our loyal staff and volunteers affected by the shutdown

• ️ Continue renovations at Saint Pawl Pet Connection so we can open fully to the community

My Birthday Wish

For my birthday, I’m asking each friend, family member, and longtime supporter to give what they can — $10, $25, $50 — or simply share this campaign with others who care about animals and community.

Together, we can show that even in challenging times, love and compassion never shut down.
