So many to thank.....
Furry Friends at RJD
A big part of my adolescence and life was shared with our furry sibling, Ruffy. We got him as a little stray pup, and he quickly captured our hearts. As he got older, he encountered few more challenges in health and wellness. I see Ruffy in many dogs I have met over time, but those soulful eyes of his are unforgettable. At RJDCF, two yards have the Pooch program and few of my facilitators are involved in it. So each workshop day, I have the pleasure of meeting Ruffys of all ages, sizes and breeds.

Thank You!
I am thankful for....
A priceless thank you to my husband Hugh Kelso, for his unwavering patience, guidance, love and support of my volunteer work; None of this would ever be possible or feasible without Hugh's guidance, counsel, encouragement or confidence in my abilities to succeed in life, professionally and personally. Much gratitude to our son Shanthanu, who has been a part of my prison journey (right from the womb). My miracle child, the many events I had to miss bc I was at Donovan, he has handled it with grace and dignity. A young soul, but the wisest one I know! Many thanks to my family and dear friends who have always blessed me with love and kindness. I am grateful to my AVP family for always having faith in me and trusting the process. My immense gratitude to my employer National University, and our students who have made me a part of their academic journeys. Being able to hold a FT job and also invest deeply as a Volunteer is a reward and a blessing made possible by the unconditional support of all of the above mentioned angels! Thank you!
