I am pleased to announce that the 2026 Q1 donations to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) amount to $2,767, which does not include the many donations my student-friends made elsewhere in honor of our Teaching sessions. 🙏🏻
As promised, here are the highlights of RCHS’ 2024-2025 impact (their 65th year in operation!):
- The Community Medical Program – launched through their new 5,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art medical facility – made basic veterinary care accessible to those in need, brought support programs in-house, provided 616 spay and neuter services (29% increase), administered 204 dental procedures (55% increase), offered quarterly vaccinations through their Pet Vaccination Clinic, gave microchips to local rescues at discounted prices, supported active military through their partnership with Dogs on Deployment, and much more.
- The Friends of County Animal Shelters Adoption Program – which helped to alleviate unprecedented overcrowding in animal shelters – saw 548 intakes (22% increase of transport missions) and 622 adoptions (27% increase).
- The specialized Post-Adoption Support Services benefitted 67 adopters through education and virtual/in-person training sessions and more.

- The nationally-recognized model Animal Safehouse Program – offering temporary emergency pet boarding for domestic violence victims (48%), military veterans (19%), seniors undergoing medical treatment (24%), and more (8%) – assisted 55 families and 88 pets over 3,266 days of care (10% increase).
- The Youth Programs – which teach respect and compassion for all living beings through hands-on learning and activities – saw 1,192 participants.
- The Pet Assisted Therapy Program – which brings comfort and healing to seniors, students, patients, and others in need – had 10 volunteer teams making 265 visits over 200 hours.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, a fur-warming $2,594 was donated by my student-friends for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS), bringing the year total to a whopping $14,163. Moreover, in honor of our beautiful spiritual sessions this year, there were many generous souls who decided instead to donate to causes dear to their hearts, covering a wide range of charities all over the world. I am beyond grateful and proud that together we were able to bring so much needed aid to our global family of animals and humans. 🌎
Below is a handwritten letter from the CEO and an example of one of the many incredible successes RCHS has achieved this year. I look forward to sharing the statistics reflecting their total impact once they publish their 2025 Highlight Report!

In the second quarter of 2025, I’m grateful to share that my Teaching service generated nearly the same amount in donations for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society as the first quarter — $4,217 — bringing the first half of the year total to $8,563. And this doesn’t include the many generous souls who’ve donated thousands all over the world to shelters and causes dear to their hearts! It’s truly a joy to know that all of our efforts in raising consciousness is having a positive impact on our animal friends throughout the entire planet. 🙏🏻

I’m thrilled to announce that in the first quarter of 2025, my Teaching service generated $4,346 for the animals at RCHS. This means that my students and I raised more in the first quarter of this year than throughout the entire previous year! Additionally, many folks decided to donate to their favorite local animal shelter or charity instead, which means that our impact was even greater and spread out all over the world. I couldn’t be more proud.
Here are just a few highlights of the wonderful work Rancho Coastal did in 2024: they found homes for 18 long-term dogs, created innovative programs for successful adoptions, transformed their campus in many significant ways, assisted 88 pets and 104 humans through their animal safehouse program, treated 354 pets and 364 senior households through their veterinary care program, assisted in 561 adoptions and 644 intakes through their friends of county animal shelters program, offered youth and education programs to hundreds of kids and teens, and much more. Additionally, they are working hard to help people and pets through the devastating impact of the recent Los Angeles wildfires.
So far 2025 has been an incredible whirlwind for me personally. Ever since the BatGap interview in January, I have received hundreds of positive messages and inquiries for my therapy and teaching services from beautiful souls all over the globe. As of this writing, I’ve already started serving people across six continents. Thank you to my new and growing worldwide family. I feel inexplicably blessed.

In the final quarter of the year, my Teaching service generated $1,113 in donations to RCHS. This brings the 2024 total to $4190. If we include the anonymous donors who matched two of my quarterly donations, then that brings the 2024 total to $6303! I’m so grateful and proud of my students and our contributions – both inner and outer – to creating a more compassionate world.
On October 25th, I had the privilege of attending the Rancho Coastal ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate the new and expanded facilities that these donations are helping to fund. I heard speeches from the RCHS leadership about how the work came together and their vision for the future. I was able to learn about their many services, like the veterinary care program for low-income seniors, the animal safehouse program, pet-assisted therapy, pet loss support program, youth programs, K9 training, and seeing-eye dog training. I was also able to tour the grounds, particularly the medical center, learning center, community pet food bank, behavior and training office, and adoption center. I was impressed by the beautiful state-of-the-art facilities and the incredible care with which they treat their residents. The community is fortunate to have such a wonderful resource! Below, I’ve shared some photos of my visit.

For the third quarter of 2024, my Teaching service has donated $1,061 to RCHS, bringing the total for the year thus far to $3,077. All of this continues to be for their Capital Campaign, which has “achieved its fundraising goal for the new construction and pivots to raise sustainability funding to support our expanded programs.” Every animal that arrives at RCHS visits the medical team for health checks, vaccinations, and medical treatments. The new Medical Center is over 5,000 square feet, providing specialized and extended care to the animals. The revitalized campus also includes a new Learning Center, Community Pet Food Bank, Welcome & Adoption Center, and a K9 Behavior & Training Office. This donation will help RCHS procure essential equipment and supplies for these programs.
I was also invited to their special ribbon cutting celebration next month to inaugurate the new facilities! More on that in the next update!

The second quarter of 2024 has yielded another sizable donation to RCHS through my Teaching services! This time, it amounts to $981, putting the 2024 total at $2,016. All of this will be going directly to their Capital Campaign, which helps fund “the Animal Safehouse Program for victims of domestic violence, seniors and military veterans, Humane Education and Youth Programs, the Community Pet Food Bank, Pet Assisted Therapy, the Pet Loss Support Program, and the Veterinary Care Program for low-income seniors.” Moreover, my students across the board are reporting significant shifts in their consciousness. Here’s to a better world. ✨

It gives me great joy to share that in the first quarter of 2024, my Teaching service has generated $1,035 for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas, CA. This amount has been raised entirely through the generous donations of my students, who I feel incredibly grateful to know. Due to an anonymous donor at RCHS, this donation was matched ($35 went toward the processing fee — strangely the exact amount needed) and the total of $2000 is going to the new Charlotte’s Medical Center currently being built to care for over 2,500 animals annually.
My very first season of teaching has been an adventure and a blessing. Not only have I been able to assist my fellow travelers in their spiritual evolution, but I have also gained a great deal of experience and insight from them – all the while gathering aid for our beautiful animal companions. I can’t think of a better setup. Thank you for trusting me with such a sacred gift, and I look forward to continuing to deepen into the realization and embodiment of our true nature together, interconnected with all of life.
