I'm reaching out to you today on behalf of my cousin Valeria Rodrigues and her dog Claire. Some of you may or may not know what happened to her in the past few weeks.  Valeria and her dog were shot on their property in front of the house she has lived in for many years.  Life gave them a second chance to be here with us to share and bring happiness to others and help out our planet through her love of science and the children she has the honor of teaching every school year. 
Therefore, I would like us to help her out with some of the financial needs she is encountering by not being able to work. She has a son to support and may have to amputate Claire her rescue dog's leg, so I feel she can use a couple of hands right now and help with her financial needs.  Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated. Thank you and Happy Holidays.
