My little rescue pup from the mountains of Oaxaca has spent the last three years in US and in the coming months she will have a European Pet Passport. I hope she finds as much peace and healing here in Galicia as I have.

She is currently staying with my parents until I find a flight that works for us both. I am also thankful that my parents are caring for her and taking the long and might I say rather inconvenient path to have her join me.

I am so blessed to have a wonderful family who offers so much love and support for me to follow my dreams. They have provided a safe and caring space for both Donaji and me while I navigated through a tough period of feeling a bit lost and constantly out of place. They encouraged me to follow my heart, even though it meant I would be farther away and everyone would see us both less. For that, I am extremely grateful and recognize what a gift this is.

No matter where I land, it is a blessing to have such a huge support system from my parents to my sister. My little family is a fierce foundation.
