A paragraph that tells voters how your life is better shared… Can you include something special that we could include on our calendar if your photo wins?
My name is Elizabeth and I personally have adopted from wags and wiskers, although I am writing for a woman that I help care for. Unfortunately our funds are limited or I would donate in Malinda's name. Malinda Hintz is a 50yr old fun spirited kind hearted woman who has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was 28yrs old. She recently has suffered the loss of her 89 yr old father in a car accident and her son who was being dropped off by her father to start his missionary journey. Her father never made it back home. Both whom were her care takers. Malinda finds herself left alone for the first time in her life at home with no family at this time til her son can come back. She does have one very special friend who has not left her side and let's her know she DOES have family left, and can be trusted to be by her side at any given moment day or night. Bella is a 6 yr old female wrotweiler, who is a service dog. My 9 yr old daughter Mia and I have been asked to help both Malinda and Bella and we thought this couldn't have come at a better time. This would surely help brighten up both Malinda's and Bella's world, since Bella was also very close to her father. Both are dealing with a terrible loss. We adopted a little kitten about 3-4 yrs ago from W's and W's in Modesto and she is doing quite well. Teeny is her name although she is not so teeny anymore since she is part main coon so the name is quite a hit with everyone that meets her. Anyway thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
