Help Laura pay for a Grooming Truck

 
   
    Animals have always been a part of me for as long as I could remember...

  My name is Laura Elysabeth, and I groom animals of all kinds throughout the state of New Jersey. As a groomer, I have had the blessed opportunities to grow close to these intense but inspiring transitions that dogs, cats, and other pets get to experience through tender love and care with bathing and proper trimming. From all sizes of dogs, to beautiful cats, fluffy rabbits with nails to be trimmed, and more--these little lives inspired me to want to give back by growing into a mobile groomer. 
  At this current time, it is difficult to reach as many pets as possible. My goal has been to try and save as much as possible to build into my grooming tool base, and continue saving for a mobile grooming truck (a space that can cleanly provide a professional and stress-free environment for my guest pet(s), their best friends, and me. 


  My first time bathing dogs was in 2010, and seeing how much dogs would enjoy a good bath and nail trim brough joy to me. It was a huge help to them, which made me feel even better; like I was truly meant for this. Plus, reuniting my guest with their 'best friend' (owner), would be a treat as the excitement of seeing their pet all cleaned up with care would leave a lasting impression of trust and mindfulness. Grooming, to me, has never been stressful and I would find it to be fun and relaxing as pets would become comfortable with patient hands to guide them. 
  
  Rescue pets also happen to be a favorite of mine, because they get to feel some kind of love and care with grooming. I mean who wouldn't love to be in a bubble bath with a blueberry-essenced 'facial'? Something simple as that can mean so much when done from the heart. That is why making this dream come true would not just be a benefit & career choice for me; instead, it will be helping all sorts of pets as long as I can keep my wheels turning. Yes, I said "wheels"!
  
  With research and thoughtful planning, the cost of this decision  (the truck, license registration, grooming tools, eco-friendly grooming supplies and necessary requirements to operate the truck with proper modifications and permits) would come to $116,000. I am sure that with my saving-up, and any donation, this can be possible. The lives that this opportunity could positively impact would be worth the donations and time that would be thoughtfully contributed to this cause.  It would mean a guaranteed life of loving my job, and helping pets all over the state (and possibly the nation) if this fundraiser can assist me in my dream. With all of my experience, education, effort, and determined motivation, I know that this dream can become a reality and change lives everywhere. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story, and I am grateful for any donation you choose to provide.
 Thank you in advance, on behalf of the future pets and families that will soon be able to experience an awesome mobile groomer with heart!


              Much Love and Gratitude,
