Rescue Me
Orlando –
Shelter Dogs, Inc.
Over the past two years,
more than 1,000 dogs have
been rescued, rehabilitated,
and re-homed from the Orange
County Animal Services
thanks to Desiree and her
fellow volunteers. She serves
as a president of Rescue Me
Orlando – Shelter Dogs, Inc.,
which assists the county’s
oft en-space-limited animal
facility.
Desiree meets the dogs
that are most in need and
shares images and info about
them on the organization’s
social media platforms.
She finds adopters, screens
potential fosters, and coordinates
financial assistance
for other rescue organizations
dealing with significant
medical cases. Desiree even
steps out to provide medical
care and training to dogs in
the community.

Conway Cares,
A Ministry of Servant’s
Heart
Catherine supports nine
charities through donations
from each of her real estate
transactions, one of which is
Conway Cares. She believes
that Orlando’s housing
market is amazing, and that
it makes sense for her to use
some of the profits she enjoys
from buying and selling
homes toward solving problems
faced by our neighbors.
Conway Cares uses
donated funds to purchase
nonperishable food for
students in Conway schools
to take home on weekend.
During the past 12 months,
more than 150 children in
four schools have benefitted
from Catherine’s contributions.
She also works in the
organization’s warehouse,
sorting and bagging weekend
food packages.
