Make Mom Proud
Be a part of our breakthrough and make mom's dream come true.
Project Description
My mission is to develop a successful art company. For me to consider it successful, it would not only be profitable but I would be able to have the freedom to rescue animals and make a difference in the lives of those animals and the people involved. I will create galleries showcasing the depths of cruelty to animals but also the incredible passion humanity still has to those same animals. Creating a network of veterinarians and rescues.
It takes time to build a business, especially with Covid-19 running amok. I need to start now if I’m going to make any strides before my mom passes away. She was diagnosed in September 2020 with stage 4 lung cancer. They expect a year or 2 survival rate. She was telling me she is worried about my well-being. It would be amazing to show her that there are people in the world that can make this a reality. I just need a little boost.
For my goal in the art world I plan to take many beautiful photos of course, but I would like to help showcase the growing awareness of animal cruelty but in a unique way. People are becoming so passionate about animals! Such as special needs fur-babies not being put to sleep, but being given the equal opportunity to live a happy life. So the market is continuing to grow for where my vision is taking me. Every piece of art that sells will help support rescues!
If I can get some people to lock arms with me and help get my businesses’ foundation started, I can promise you that I’ll do my best everyday to make a difference in the world, because you will have helped me make my moms dream come true before she passes! She wants to see me making something of myself that is more than just ticking a timeclock.
The money will be used to update my equipment, get training in marketing, a better, more adaptive website and to take care of at least 6 months of living expenses to be able to focus on my moms care and building the business from home. If your generosity brings in more than 10k, I will most certainly take care in how I utilize those funds for the business.
I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to read my campaign and humbled by any donation you may provide. I know my mom will be so moved and probably cry too, help me make this happen! Thank you so very very much!!

- Are you becoming an animal rescue or artist?
- Both. I will use part of the profits from the sales of my art to invest and help multiple rescues. I am very passionate about animals of all kinds. Taking pictures and rescuing animals have been a part of my whole life.
- Why not do what you love and love what you do?
- You mentioned Veterinarians, what's that about?

- It'll provide a unique opportunity to capture the harsh reality of neglection and abuse while experiencing the profound love humanity possesses.
- You said you want to make your mom proud...have you not made her proud already?
- My mom is certainly proud of me. She fears I have over-worked while taking care of her and have not had time to build my dreams. Now that she has been diagnosed with a second cancer, she is concerned about me like any mother. I want to show her that I will be fine and for her to focus on our remaining time together instead of spending it worrying. (More than typical moms worry that is :) )
