“I’m grateful you’ve chosen me for this award! Receiving this award means a great deal to me. It validates my dream and desire to help pets and their caregivers receive the best care, especially those facing financial and social challenges. The monetary part of this award will pay the tuition for my final semester. That takes a huge weight off me and is one less thing for me to be concerned about. I’m very grateful.”
