My name is Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

After a devastating tragedy, the Rhodes family is fractured forever. 14-year-old Maya Rhodes finds herself caught between two opposing worlds, her father's struggling veterinary clinic and Moonstone Rescue, an animal sanctuary run by a compassionate caretaker who takes Maya under her wing despite her reputation in town. Everyone's saying you're a witch. Typical. Predictable. Maya's dad, however, doesn't seem to notice or care about anything after his wife's death. Maya, your mom is dead. Yes, but not really. She's dead. But dad, Mom always said that she'll talk to us through the bridge. No, Maya, grow up! Using her mother's written stories about their indigenous ancestors, Maya must navigate the growing rift between her grieving father while uncovering the truth behind her ancestor, Henrietta's magic. The question is, will this connection bring her family back together before it's too late? Moonstone Rescue, a new serialized furry tale from Table Read.
