After a fire this past weekend at Seri’s grooming shop, I had a small role in helping some of her surviving reptiles get to a caretaker after they were accidentally shipped to the wrong address.
That’s how I found out what she is going through.
This fire didn’t just take a business and home, it took a piece of her life, including her beloved African Grey of 30 years and many of her reptiles.
If you’ve ever loved and cared for animals, you understand the depth of that loss. They are not just animals in our care, they are beautiful souls we love like family.
And as if that wasn’t enough, she is also preparing for an upcoming knee surgery.
But this is also where something else shows up.
Friends and the community.
The same love she has given so freely is now finding its way back to her.
If you are able to help, even in a small way, it matters.
If you can’t, sharing her story matters too.
This is what it looks like when we come together.
Not just for the animals.
But for the people who have spent their lives caring for them.
