For The Love of Animals — Support Ari’s Vet School Journey

Donation protected
Hello everyone,
My name is Ana and I’m creating this gofundme for my daughter, Ariella, who has officially been accepted to veterinary school!

From the time she was a little girl, bandaging up her stuffed animals and proudly declaring she’d be a veterinarian on every career day, Ari’s heart has always known exactly where it belonged.

She’s worked full-time, sometimes two jobs, to put herself through undergrad debt-free. Even after setbacks, she returned to school, started over, and found her true place in veterinary medicine.

Since then, she’s been working as a veterinary technician, known in our community not only for her hard work, but for her heart. She gives her time, knowledge, and care to pets and families who can’t always afford immediate veterinary help. But Ari wants to do more. Becoming a DVM isn’t just her dream, it’s her way of giving back. She wants to educate, advocate, and be a voice for animals who can’t speak for themselves.

Now, she’s on the brink of turning her lifelong dream into reality. She’s been accepted to veterinary school, and I couldn’t be prouder. But the cost of this journey is overwhelming; tuition, supplies, living expenses — it all adds up quickly, and she can’t take it on alone.

As her mom, I’ve always done what I can to support her, and I want to be able to give her a safety net as she takes this on. But we need help.

I’m asking from the bottom of my heart if you believe in Ari’s journey, and if you want to support someone who’s dedicated her life to healing and helping, please consider donating. No amount is too small. Every single contribution brings her one step closer to fulfilling her purpose.

Ari has the heart, the drive, and the calling to make a true impact, not just for animals, but for the families and communities that love them. And if you can’t give right now, even sharing this helps so much.

Thank you for believing in her the way I always have.

With love,
A proud mom
