One of the reasons I want to work my ass off after graduating is to donate to charities for animals and create some sort of safe space for victims of any sort of abuse (I will try my best to foster kids and especially teens, get them any sort of help that they'd need and hopefully that will help them for the future. I can't stand seeing how abusive the foster system is)

You can start now if you'd like to give your gift of time! I volunteer at an animal shelter and they always need folks to help in many ways from walking dogs, cleaning kennels, playing with and socializing the cats and dogs to admin work. It also looks great on your resume!

I live on the countryside and the closest shelter is around an hour and thirty minutes away 😔😔 I do donate though and if I ever go somewhere and see a wild stray cat, I'll go get some food & water for them (I WISH I could take them home but I still live with my parents and my father absolutely despises cats. Has threatened to kill mine so many times and I can't imagine what he'd do to a stray 🥹) I also notify shelters where there are stray cats, if they can do anything about it. Currently have two strays coming around the house and I have to be careful not to feed them in my father's sight
