In memory of my sister, Mary Rygiel - she was a passionate animal lover whose heart beat for every creature in need. Even through her battle with cancer, she found comfort and purpose in the unconditional love of dogs. She believed deeply in their power to heal, to connect, and to transform lives.

That’s why I support Canine Companions for Independence — an organization that trains service dogs to empower people with disabilities. These dogs offer more than assistance; they offer freedom, confidence, and companionship.

In honoring my sister’s legacy, I ask you to consider supporting this life-changing mission. Every dog trained is a step toward a more compassionate, inclusive world.

Our family is raising Carprice, our Canine Companion, in memory of Mary and to change a life.
