Hi, I'm Monica and I am an 11 year old sixth grader at Pocahontas Middle School in Powhatan County, Virginia. I came up with the idea of raising money to buy pet oxygen masks for our fire department after seeing a news story where one was used to save a family's pet after a house fire.

I am an animal lover and care a whole lot about all animals. I want to become a veterinarian when I grow up and open my own clinic.

I am currently a volunteer at Richmond Animal League (Richmond's oldest non-profit, no-kill humane society) where I work up front with the cats feeding, cleaning and playing with them as well as helping out wherever I am needed at RAL.

I hope to raise enough money to buy pet oxygen mask kits for each fire station. It would make me so happy to know one of my oxygen masks helped save a pet's life.
