Thank you for making a gift to support San Diego Humane Society's Project Wildlife, in memory of Kris Hamilton. Kris was the Volunteer Experience Manager for Project Wildlife, and her passion for rehabilitating wildlife was only surpassed by her love for her volunteers. Her San Diego Humane Society family will miss her terribly but your gift in Kris's memory will help give more than 10,000 wild animals a second chance this year. Together, we can provide the safe shelter, medical care and love they need to thrive.

Kris joined SDHS in February 2019 after working in volunteer engagement at the Virginia Living Museum and the Smithsonian. She was instrumental in uniting Project Wildlife staff and volunteers during a historic time of transition as they forged a new team identity in the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center. Kris also worked tirelessly to help integrate the newly merged Ramona Wildlife Center into the SDHS family. She was a friend and mentor not only to her fellow SDHS volunteer engagement teammates but to her Project Wildlife family as well.

Everyone who met Kris adored her playful, fun-loving, hilarious, lively antics, and those who knew her well admired her wisdom, drive and the love she so readily shared with others. She never wanted anyone to feel left out, hence the many mandatory "Kris selfie" group photo ops she's famous for. Kris made a point to celebrate her friends' best days and support them through their darkest times. She never met a stranger. It was always "Hey, friend!!" to all she encountered, including animals.

Thank you for all the beautiful gifts you shared with this world, Kris. We are all better for having you in our lives.

Kris' family is passionate about continuing her work by supporting Give Humane: San Diego Humane Society's Day of Giving on June 27, 2024!

Give Humane is an annual fundraising movement that unites our entire community to make an impact for animals in need by supporting the work of San Diego Humane Society.

By making a donation to this important campaign, you'll help provide lifesaving care for homeless pets and injured and orphaned wildlife, as well as essential services to our community. Together we'll ensure that:

• More than 40,000 homeless pets and wildlife in need will be given safe shelter and a second chance. 
• Thousands of orphaned kittens will receive around-the-clock care through the Kitten and Foster programs. 
• Humane Law Enforcement officers will respond to nearly 19,000 animals in need. 
• More than 2 million pet meals will be distributed to families facing challenging times, helping them keep their beloved animals.

Thank you for your compassion for animals and the people who love them, and for supporting our ninth annual Give Humane in memory of Kris. Together, we can create a more humane San Diego.
