I work as a cleaner and nanny. I want to add my skills to caring for animals; I'm extremely passionate about them. During the pandemic, I started to notice that, due to lack of financial means, people started abandoning their animals on the streets, so I decided to open a shelter to take in these animals in Brazil.
