when I first met Clarissa, she had just started this amazing nonprofit organization that has since grown nation-wide - Pets for Vets helps heal the emotional wounds of military veterans by pairing them with companion animals and service dogs - each is specifically trained to help veterans who have disabilities. Pets for Vets saves shelter dogs, giving them a second chance at life while giving our returning soldiers a second chance at health and happiness. In addition to providing service dogs, Pets for Vets provides dog and cat companions - there are no words to describe the magical healing provided by these connections.

Emerald Chariot has donated over 5,000 new books to preschool children during the last two years - we are a volunteer organization committed to supporting family literacy, fostering leadership and economic development while creating safe communities . All our funds go toward exceptional educational events for children so that books become their friends.
