Ryleigh's 11th birthday wish was for all her family and friends to donate items to Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary instead of birthday gifts for herself. She collected lots of items and monetary donations. She was very excited to take all the items to Safe Harbor on Sunday, Aug. 28. The staff was very excited and grateful for all her donations. Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary is a no-kill animal shelter located in Jackson, and Ryleigh would like everyone to please help the animals by donating items needed for the animals, monetary donations to help with vet bills and other things, or volunteer their time to help care for the animals.
