Help a girl achieve her veterinary dream
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Abigail. I am writing to share my dream and to seek your support in making it a reality. My passion for animal care and my aspiration to become a veterinarian have led me to an incredible opportunity to volunteer at an animal sanctuary in South Africa, partnering with the organization, World Wide Vets. However, to take this opportunity, I am in need of financial assistance. Your generous contributions will not only help me embark on this life-changing journey but also support my pursuit of a career dedicated to animal welfare. This journey, while it is a once in a lifetime opportunity, it is also a stepping stone towards the required amount of volunteer hours needed to apply for veterinary school.
Passion for Animal Care:
Since I was a kid, I have had an unwavering love and deep empathy for animals. Their innocent souls and their inability to care for themselves have inspired me to become their voice and advocate. Volunteering here will provide me with a hands-on experience to care for these animals and learn from experts in the field. This experience will also allow me to care for the animals that are in a risk category for poaching. Animals such as rhinos and elephants that are hunted for their horns and tusks.
Why South Africa?
South Africa, with its diverse wildlife and vast natural beauty, presents a unique opportunity to experience animal care in a breathtaking environment. This experience will be instrumental in shaping my future as a veterinarian and will provide me with a global perspective on animal welfare.
Financial support
While this opportunity is undoubtedly a dream come true, the financial burden is a significant hurdle I must overcome. The costs associated with travel, accommodation, meals, and volunteer program fees are beyond my current means. Therefore, I am humbly reaching out to you, my friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals, to support me in making this journey possible.
