CAMI

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the lock down and social isolation had a profound impact upon my mental health. I developed feelings of depression, had difficulty with daily tasks, and developed an eating disorder. Luckily, Tootsie came into my life and became an emotional support animal to me. Since then, Tootsie, and also Daisy, have helped my family and I by inspiring and supporting us during difficult times.

 

​Inspired by Tootsie and Daisy, I founded a 501(3)c nonprofit organization named "Corgis Against Mental Illness" (CAMI). Through fundraising and donations, we aim to support established, well-established mental health organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in order to not only have a local effect, but a national impact. My furry friends and I have participated in various NAMI walks and I have been actively involved with my local NAMI chapter (NAMI Coachella Valley). 

 

Tootsie and Daisy are certified therapy dogs who have been spreading the joy and love that corgis can provide.​ Every single dollar that we raise goes towards the fight against mental illness. Thank you so much for supporting our cause! Tootsie and Daisy thank you too!
