Kourtney's Hope for the Animals
Non profit animal organization
Kourtney's Hope for the Animals was not only formed as a way to save the lives of the many precious, forgotten animals we meet DAILY, but also as a way to save a person, if you will. A way for a grieving mother to turn her pain into purpose. Her daughter Kourtney, tragically lost her life at the young age of 23. No parent is prepared for the death of a child- and in her gut wrenching, earth shattering "new" way of living- Lynn managed to redirect that searing, sometimes overtaking pain in her heart, and turned her tragedy into a strategy!
Kourtney was AFRAID of dogs before she took a volunteer position at a local animal shelter. Her love for them grew far bigger than her fears, and her mission became to "save them all." Sadly- she never got the chance to save them all- but did manage to save five, that she loved dearly! So Lynn took this knowledge, and this cause that she, too, felt strongly about, and turned it into something AMAZING- something her daughter would be proud of! Something to keep her daughter's name alive in the community and beyond, while standing up and speaking LOUDLY for the ever growing population of those who can't! With every animal saved, Lynn sees Kourtney beaming, elated, and at peace.
All proceeds collected from this organization go directly to the animal shelter here in Gilchrist County.
