Hello!
My name is Kat and I am not your typical "small business". I create and sell my items to help fund the volunteer work that my Certified Therapy Dog, Echo, and I do together.
Echo is sweet, loving wonderful therapy dog and my best friend. And together we are a Therapy Dog Team. She and I travel all over so she can provide comfort, support, love and joy to those in need locally and across the U.S.
Therapy Dog Team's do not get paid, do not accept donations, and work happily as volunteers. So all the services that Echo provides are always free of charge. But, as you can imagine, it does involve quite a lot of actual expenses for us to do what we do. Travel expenses alone can be high.
So I create and try to sell my items to help fund the wonderful work that Echo does. Here are just some of those things...
Echo visits hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, schools, and so many other places. She even helps destress the dedicated paramedics, first responders, firefighters and nurses and doctors who service our surrounding communities every day. We also work with the Red Cross, Stein Hospice Children's Grief Camp, serve at military events, and give educational programs.
No matter where she goes, or the reason she is there, to everyone she meets her visits are truly appreciated and impactful.
That's why every extra penny I can make to pay for her to do what she does is so important. This is my way of helping her help others!
