Story

My partner Niroshan tragically died on Christmas day 2021 leaving me feeling that all the dreams of our future together had been stripped away. We had plans to run an animal sanctuary and retreat, heavily inspired by his favourite youtuber 'Where's Lucie?' who works in Sri Lanka for Animal SOS. 

I'm traveling to Sri Lanka this summer, and Lucie has kindly offered to help me organise volunteering for Animal SOS while I'm there. It would be amazing if I could also raise funds in his memory to help the 1900+ animals in their care. Niroshan was the kindest person I have ever known, and he gave everything he had to help people and animals in need, I know he would have loved this adventure!
