Long before it had a name,                                                                            had been a dream in the making since childhood. While working on my portfolio and website, I had a lightbulb moment that began gnawing
at me and wouldn't leave. An animal sanctuary that would be funded by an event venue on a shared property.
 
Before I knew it, there was no                                                     without the sanctuary. They became one and the same. They'd be released together.

It felt like a ticking clock to help as many animals as possible as soon as possible and I couldn't focus on perfecting my portfolio and trying to gain clients with this massive epiphany consuming my energy. circumstances aligned and I made the commitment to not to keep this plan in my back pocket.

the brainstorming went from weddings, to community events, to camps...to..you get the idea. It snowballed
 
from volunteering for various animal rescues, to beginning a wildlife apprenticeship...
I began to dreaming bigger and realized this was turning into something grander than I previously ever thought possible.

and yet, the vision never wavered. It became stronger and clearer.
 
A wildlife sanctuary that could afford to give back to other animal rescues/rehabs/sanctuaries that need it. One that could afford to hire help, to educate the public, and to involve the community in a greater purpose.
to incorporate art and design.

to leave a legacy that ripples beyond my impact and helps animals for generations to come, not just the ones that touch my hands. to learn more about Blooming Ivy's plans and how you can help
