VOLUNTEER STAR OF THE MONTH SPOTLIGHT!!
”I chose to volunteer at Broken Shovels because the rescued animals give me so much joy and unconditional love. I have learned so much from the caregivers and it has enriched my life just being here so it’s the least I can do to give back.” – Charlene Estrada
Meet Charlene Estrada, September’s Volunteer Star, an absolute powerhouse of a human!
Charlene has been volunteering at Broken Shovels for over 3 years now and started out as a public event volunteer and has morphed into our invaluable transportation hero.
In between her main career and sometimes a second job, Charlene cares for her family and somehow manages to find time to pick up, sort and distribute yummy produce for the animals twice a week, take animals to and from their vet appointments at CSU in Ft. Collins and help us run other important errands. We sure are grateful for Charlene’s commitment to the animal residents of Broken Shovels and how she helps make the caretakers’ jobs easier. (The water buffalo are also very grateful Auntie Charlene brings them bananas every week!)
Thank you, Charlene – we are so glad you are a part of the Broken Shovels team!
